On a lovely summer Thursday evening after a long flight to Milwaukee, we enjoyed a sidewalk cafe dinner of small plates. We had a Caesar salad, a Mediterranean salad, pulpo grilled octopus and Brussel sprouts. Our server was friendly, happy, knowledgeable of the menu and area and she had a great sense of timing. She treated our Pellegrino sparkling water as if it was the finest wine! The third ward neighborhood is vibrant and fun. The sidewalk cafe was just right. Summer in the Midwest can be lovely and tonight it was! read more

If I could do brunch on a daily and spend my days outside on the patio with perfect weather I would enjoy eating food from Tre Rivali. It was my first time in this state and honestly, I'm glad we randomly found this spot by walking around in the city center. The seating was spread out and tables were spaced accordingly due to Covid. The wait staff here was super friendly and nice and honestly one of the tastiest brunch spots I've ever had. It was busy on a Sunday morning but we were able to get a table for five by waiting a few minutes for them to set up the table. You can eat inside and outside whichever you would like at the moment. Decided to pick the inside because during that time even though the sun was out it was still a little chilly. I ordered the salmon bagel and the presentation for this was super cute! It had a lot of different vegetables on the board with the bagel that was filled with a lot of salmon. Our table all ordered different items but each one enjoyed it. The little one also liked the chocolate chip pancakes which he liked. Tasty food and drinks with a nice setting. What more can you ask for? read more

The place and atmosphere was amazing. Service was great. The food though I had the hanger stake for dinner and for 41 dollars not worth it. I don't mind paying but the food better be tasty. The steak was burnt. We also had the pulpo and it was also burnt. You can taste it no matter what sauce you put on each bite. read more

We came as group to try out this place and we really were not disappointed. We started with a couple of appetizers (Lamb Kafta and Meatballs) and that put us in a really good mood. We then moved to entrees: Campanelle, Spice Rubbed Half Chicken, Lamb Shoulder Tagine, and Hanger Steak. Overall the 4 entrees were fantastic but the weakest was definitely the chicken; not because it was bad but it was standard. The pasta was delicious, creamy, and full of mushrooms. The Tagine was nutty and full of bold flavors that i never experienced before and we truly enjoyed it. The steak was great but they needed to take it back to get it to the right temperature and that of course messed with the juiciness but it was still great. We ended the meal with 2 desserts: Tiramisu and Toffee. I'd definitely be getting the toffee again and again but probably not a huge fan of the Tiramisu. Our server was attentive and friendly. They do get busy but they try to keep the attention. Overall, we will be back for sure! read more

Excellent food. Excellent service from Lindsay. We are the types that really like to "talk food" and Lindsay was totally there for it. She knew the answers to all our good questions, took my allergy seriously and was on the ball with the second round of drink orders-- that's not always the case. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Branzino. Such a delicate & clean meal. Prepared beautifully. Everything we ate, we loved. The manager (with the slick jacket & glasses) was super kind & knowledgeable-- we chatted with him for a bit. It was my birthday and they brought our dessert out with a candle. The perfect end to the meal. Couldn't recommend this place enough for either a date night, a group or even a family dinner. You can either treat it like a high-end evening and go big or order a couple wood-fired pizzas and some wine and keep it casual. Super glad we found it. read more

This was a fun find. A nice upscale feeling experience with affordable prices. Our server was knowledgeable about the dishes and very attentive. All of our dishes were 5 star, And they had a very nice variety of choices. Their specialty drinks were yummy as well. The restaurant itself was very clean, you can be seated outside where they are dog friendly as well. The decor was current and tastefully done. read more

Tre Rivali is located in the Kimpton in Third Ward. Such a cute location within Milwaukee! The service here was incredible from the moment we walked in and the food is excellent! Also a great wine menu and cocktail options. I recommend the N.A. spritz. Also I recommend the meatballs for an app! read more

Very cute place. Good food! The cheese and charcuterie is a must have! The mixed greens salad is okay. Good portion size but the dressing is underwhelming, needs more flavor. For main I got the amatriciana flatbread which was okay. A tad spicy. The side of brussel sprouts was delicious! I had a glass of Cabernet which was ok, not the best. Second drink was sangria which I had to give to my friends to finish. I hate downtown parking but valet is only $10. I would go back solely for the charcuterie board and brussel sprouts. read more

Disgusting management, there is always a problem with food arriving late. Staff is really poor. Called to make reservations no one answered the phone. Spoke to front desk and left a message for a manager to call me twice. No one has replied yet. Absolutely horrible, save your money and go Onesto across the street! read more

The place is beautiful but unfortunately one of the worst meals I ever had. We started with the meatballs and octopus. The meatballs itself were ok but the sauce around it was cold, is like they didn't put it in a pan together for a few minutes for the dish to come together before plating. The octopus and honestly everything else lacked flavor. We had the chicken and lord this was the worst chicken of my life it had zero seasoning. We also had the pasta arrabiata which was okay, the time to sauce was fine I think it could use a little cream and some Parmesan but who am I. We literally tasted it the chicken and couldn't even continue eating it. We honestly didn't even complain or anything because what for at that point. But I do not think I'll ever be going back sorry. Wish I had taken photos of the food but with how mediocre everything was I didn't even waste my time. read more

Our family staying at the hotel for Irish Fest... dinner Friday night. Sat outside, beautiful night. Order Caesar Salad, Caesar pizza, mushrooms truffles pizza, roast chicken.

Service was very good! read more

Tre Rivali - Baked Brioche French Toast - Mediterranean Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Went here on a Thursday night with girlfriends, and had such a great experience! Started with cocktails up on the rooftop bar (The Outsider) as we were early for our reservation, which I would recommend to check out! Atmosphere at Tre Rivali is so warm and welcoming! Would be great for couples, friends, family or a big group too. Started with a G&T cocktail, which was delicious! The juniper berries gave it a fun flavor too. We tried the chicken liver mousse, which was really good with their grilled bread and the blackberry compote on the side. Super rich though, definitely plan to split with at least one other person! The star of the night was the cheese and charcuterie board!! 5 cheeses and 5 meats, the 3 of us could barely finish it! Accoutrements were amazing, and it's worth every penny. We did order entrees, which we could barely fi ish, but leftovers were good too! The pizza with grapes, Brie and pork belly was outstanding, the rosemary charred slightly in the oven which really made it perfect. Others at the table got the octopus which was cooked to perfection, and ended up being very light, so a nice option for an appetizer course to share too. Only downside was the service was a little slow- we asked for the check after waiting with empty plates for 15 min, took 5 min to get to go boxes, and then it took another 10 min to get the bill processed and taken care of. Would highly recommend, and I will be back!! read more

We stopped by for brunch at tre Rivali and I was a bit disappointed. I think I was expecting more. To start, the ambiance and the service were really fantastic! The food was just average though...I ordered an omelette and it was a bit lacking in flavor. The omelette was cheese, chicken sausage, and carmelized onion...and woah did they go heavy on the onion. Like 70% onion. It just wasn't my favorite. My friend ordered the hoppel poppel which she enjoyed, so perhaps I need to try something different. I am hoping to try their dinner menu soon as it looks amazing read more

Terrible service. After our order was taken, we didn't see our server for another 45 minutes and had to flag down another server to go find ours. When he did come back, it was only to tell us our food wasn't ready yet-- an hour after we ordered. Other tables came and went during the same time. We ended up asking to just get our order boxed up to go -- which also didn't happen and we left the restaurant 1.5 hours later without having eaten. With all the other options available, save yourself the trouble and pick somewhere else to go. read more

I traveled to Milwaukee for work and planned to go to the restaurant across the street, but came here instead. This place didn't pop up on any Yelp collections or "must visit" restaurant lists, but I think it was a delightful place and should get more attention. Here's my humble review - Food: I ordered the charcoaled beets, cacio e pepe, and raspberry gelato. The charcoal beets were so incredible and the dish was very well balanced! Refreshing and beautiful, 10/10 would eat again. The cacio e pepe was ok, nothing to drive home about but it was filling. Nothing too special. The gelato was delicious and a nice end to the meal. Over all the menu doesn't have a ton of vegetarian options (it looks like previous menus uploaded to Yelp had a larger variety). Ambiance: really beautiful place with ample outdoor seating. Service: Great, kind, and helpful staff. There was a bit of a wait but I it's likely just due to being short staffed. The servers were juggling a lot and I appreciated there service! In summary, I need to go back and get the charcoal beet dish again read more

We stayed at the Kimpton and were wanting to find a good breakfast spot. Check out was a few hours away so we thought we would just check out this restaurant right outside of the hotel lobby. From the minute we walked through the doors, our experience was top notch. Friendly staff, beautiful ambiance/decor, comfortable seating and fresh and delicious food! We had the steak and eggs and egg platter (over-easy with bacon and sour dough). The friendly waiter asked if we wanted to share a pancake...we loved that recommendation and it was one of the lightest, fluffiest pancakes we've ever had. We are already talking about heading back to the Kimpton and Tre Rivalo! Great experience all around! read more

my boyfriend and i came here with a res on saturday night at 7. we were seated quickly, i thought the decorations and interior of the restaurant were cute and really set the ambiance. i didn't like how closely seated we were to those next to us; i could fully listen to every word of the conversation of the couple next to us. otherwise, great service! i didn't find myself particularly drawn to a lot of things on the drink menu but i love that their food takes an an italian-mediterranean approach. the papardelle bolognese was my fav, spicy and unlike a lot of others i've had before. the side of brussels sprouts was necessary to balance out all the carbs but it had this sweet maple drizzle which made it soo good. they had a baklava cheesecake for dessert too which was so tempting but we stuck with the sticky toffee pudding with maple ice cream and that was just as delicious! the lamb kafta was tasty as well for an appetizer, i thought the inside was a bit too soft and mushy for my taste but this was my boyfriend's favorite. the salad pizza sounded intriguing but i was nervous about the lettuce on top so we stuck with the amatriciana, which is what our server recommended. overall great experience and i would come back to try the other dishes on their menu! read more

In town for college graduation on May 19, 2024. This place was wonderful, from the delicious drinks (Wisconsin Old Fashion) to the entrees. Desserts were fabulous. We tasted each others entrees and they were all outstanding. But what was most awesome was the service. Our wait person was so helpful and informative and always there without being hovering. In fact, I haven't seen such great customer service anywhere as we did with this Journeyman Hotel and the restaurant within it. This wasn't our first pick in where to stay in Milwaukee but it will be from now on. Also they have a great rooftop bar that we need to visit again. It was packed! What a lovely weekend it was for all of us. Thank you!! read more

Great location. Nice outdoor seating to people watch. Had delicious pasta. I'd recommend and will return.

One of the best brunches I've ever experienced. Visited on Christmas Day (thanks to reservations my wife made) for brunch. The restaurant itself feels stylish, open and airy. The setup and design was clever and convenient for servers, but unobtrusive. Everything was clean, classy, and inviting. For drinks, the caramelized fig old fashioned was strong and the flavors intensified as you finished. The Bloody Mary was smooth, salty and had the right kick with the spices. Standouts; strange to start here, but the macaroons were perfect-soft and flavorful with smallest hint of crunch. The French toast bread pudding tasted like perfect comfort food. The avocado toast with radish slivers and EB seasoning was a surprise. The chocolate cake and cherry pastries were perfect. The basics were all very well done-salads crisp and fresh, yogurt station with fresh berries and granola, eggs, thick bacon, sausages, charcuterie board, and mashed potatoes were exactly what you'd expect from a high end buffet. The carving station features ham and beef, both cooked to perfection and the carvers really cared that you got the size and amount you wanted. With a buffet, I am mainly looking for clean and tastes I've never had before and Tre Rivale delivered. This was the first time I've ever understood why anyone goes nuts for macaroons. The servers were great, the whole staff welcoming and gave off an essence of "glad you are here"-even on a busy Christmas morning. What could be better: slight mixup with our drink order, immediately rectified. Apple options for the crepes, assisted lifts for some of the heavy cast iron lids. Would I go again: definitely, both for brunch and for the full menu. read more

We almost didn't come here because we were feeling too lazy to walk, but I'm so glad we did! We ordered a 1/2 charcuterie, 1/2 cheese board to start. This was the most amazing board I've ever had- to both my eyes and my stomach. There were 4 types of cheeses, 5 types of charcuterie, and a variety of berries, honey, jam, mustard and pickles in the center. So delicious! For entree I ordered a carbonara pasta. Super yummy and I highly recommend trying. It's served with crispy pork belly and shaved egg yolk. The sauce is super creamy and the homemade pasta was cooked to perfection. My fiancé got the carrot gnocchi. I tried a bite and the gnocchi was very fluffy! A different texture than regular potato gnocchi. It was served with rabbit sausage (which I didn't try) but he said it was pretty good. A good choice if you're feeling a little more adventurous! For drinks we ordered an espresso martini and a blushing giulio. Both were delicious and had the perfect amount of alcohol to our tasting. The espresso martini is exactly what is sounds like, so for you coffee lovers out there, this would be an excellent choice. For my ladies (and men too!) who love a sweet cocktail, go for the blushing giulio. Our server recommended it when I asked for something sweet and it did not disappoint! read more

Tre Rivali has become one of our go to spots for a special dinner. Sure, the plates are small and the prices a bit high, but the flavors are unique and delightful. I really like the carrot gnocchi. They are not traditional, but they are the fluffiest gnocchi I've ever tasted. I've also enjoyed their wine list and cocktails. read more

Great pizza and drinks! Service was a little slow, but overall a good experience. We will definitely be back.

This review is based only on my experience at the bar. I was with a small bachelorette party and stopped here while we waited for a table at The Outsider (upstairs). It was a Saturday evening in August and I could not believe how busy it was! It was certainly a "place to be" and very upscale and trendy. There were definitely not enough bartenders on staff. The two men working were certainly overwhelmed, hence the reason for a relatively long wait to place our drink order. I ordered 3 drinks, 2 of them were specialty for the special occasion. When I received the bill, I was shocked.... these drinks were priced like we were at a Las Vegas night club. I am not use to paying over $50 for 3 drinks, none of which were doubles or talls. This is definitely a nice spot to come for a special occasion or celebration, but ensure you make a reservation and are prepared for a more high-end/costly experience. read more

Great food and attentive service. Went there for dinner and had a delicious meal and good wine.

Such flavorful food! I love how it's a great Mediterranean-American fusion place! Milwaukee has many awesome eating joints, but a few rare fusion destinations - this is one! I have been wanting to try Tre for a long long time and finally got to try it out this weekend. Me and my husband tried the lamb burger which had tahini sauce and cucumber (essentially a "cool" burger) and was delicious. I like how they used micro-greens to not only decorate your food but also add flavor! They have an extensive drinks menu with great cocktails and other liquors. I wanted to get a Mezcal cocktail but since they didn't have a specific cocktail with mezcal they made me a custom one with a bit of lime and strawberry which become a nice smoky little drink! We sat outside since it was a lovely day to enjoy some sun (winter is coming!!!!). Though we loved their outdoor ambience, the indoors looked really good too but that's for another time! Service was excellent and we look forward to coming back again. Absolutely recommend this place - don't be afraid to let your tastebuds experiment some yummy Mediterranean-American fusion entrées! read more

Overall, quite lackluster. Our service was embarrassingly slow, with our waiter waiting over 20 minutes before letting us know there will be an additional wait for a Bloody Mary and orange juice (with no communication regarding food). Once the drinks arrived, the Bloody Mary (kindly quickly made by a manager) was fine, albeit with a slight oversight. The patron ordering the Bloody Mary told the waiter that they do not eat meat prior to placing orders; however, the waiter brought out a loaded drink with a sausage and bacon garnish, with the latter being in the drink. Not wishing to wait another 20 minutes, we just moved on. As for the food (over a half-hour in) the Mediterranean salad was subpar and filled with rather unusually large lettuce chunks. The fries were poorly seasoned, and overly greasy. The "margarita pizza" was, taste and presentation-wise, a step below Mod Pizza. They should consider renaming it to "cheese pizza", as there were no tomato slices or proper mozzarella on the pizza. Please consider other nearby restaurants for brunch. read more

The Third Ward is filled with new stores, restaurants and bars. I didn't recognize most of them, and sadly felt old and distant from Milwaukee. I was involved in the very genesis of the gentrification of the Third Ward, when there were just a couple of dining places and a few gay bars. It grew exponentially, but never expected these many changes. I guess I should have held on to my buildings....... Tre Rivoli, in the newish Kimpton hotel, is representative of these changes in my favorite Milwaukee neighborhood. Hip, but without pretense, the room is airy and the expansive windows allow you to "catch" the scene on the sidewalk. Service was casual, but Midwest nice and friendly. We miss that warmth. The brunch menu had some great choices, and my fried chicken with gravy was scrumptious. I cleaned my plate. Monkey Bread, a Tre Rivoli favorite, was icky sweet, but delicious. I "knocked off" all of them. Prices were very reasonable for such a cool and tasty brunch. Tre Rivoli was great fun. read more

Tre Rivali is a great option if you living or out and about in the Third Ward. First when you walk in, it is beautiful to take in....glass floor to ceiling windows and tables on the sidewalk out front. Inside , where the bar is located it reminds me of an open french market with a long wooden bar and white tables set to serve for patrons to have a drink and appetizer while they wait on a table. The bar has some great drinks on the menu, but we love to tell our bar tender what mood we are in and she always whips something up using her own recipe and she always nails it 100% of the time! When you are seated to your table and go to the back the atmosphere changes into an intimate, romantic and darker sitting area it just feels incredibly private even though you are in a room full of people. I love the servers at Tre Rivali- they never disappoint! The servers know their menu's are great at making recommendations, and keep the flow of dinner going at the right pace. The food is always incredible and they have a pretty extensive wine list to choose from. One of our favorite places to stop by for dinner and/or a cocktail. read more

They only offer a brunch menu on Saturday. Asked for some pasta to go with meatballs. They don't serve pasta With anything on the brunch menu.

A yummy place for a fancy yet casual dinner in the Third Ward! My partner likes to order gin and tonics and enjoyed their refreshing G&T Savory with green olives, caperberries, and thyme. The Wood Roasted Mushroom Pizza was garlicky with creamy ricotta, thinly sliced potatoes (almost like chips!), and savory mushrooms. I'm usually not a big lamb person, but the Braised Lamb Sugo was delicious- subtly sweet from the cinnamon and cocoa nibs. The Ricotta Dumplings dish was *chef's kiss* amazing! Similar to gnocchi and subtle in flavor, complemented well by the salty crispy pork belly, fresh asparagus and microgreens, and tangy dried tomatoes. I've heard good things about their brunch, and after this satisfying meal, I'm eager to try it! read more

It took 30 minutes to get our drink order. It took 25 minutes after our drinks to get appetizers. It took 40+ minutes after our appetizers to get our mains. Dumb on us for waiting but you at least expect better service and at some sympathy when you clearly state three times you are in a rush. Best of all food is mediocre. Do better... read more

What a gorgeous venue! Tre Rivali in the Kimpton Hotel is modern in an understated eclectic sort of way, and the Kimpton Hotel in general adds a whole dimension to the Third ward I feel was missing. It adds a cosmopolitan flavor for the literal backwater that is this neighborhood. I'm all for it! Our brunch was delicious, and service was very good. If I have any criticism at all, it would be that the menu wasn't super inventive-nothing really "popped" for me, and the price point was a little high (as is often the case with hotel restaurants.) My friend had a chicken panini with a freshish looking salad and I had a traditional eggs, toast, potatoes, etc. Breakfast dish. Delicious!! Well done Kimpton! Can't wait for warm weather to try the Outsider! read more
