Jefferson St.Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible.

Second time I’ve eaten at Onesto. Still very tasty and enjoyable experience. Love the care and quality put in the food. Good service. Enjoyable ambience. Reasonable prices for the quality. Love that even on the second visit I already had discounts by being in the Loyalty Program.

Went to celebrate a birthday. Cute birthday card on the table! Service was above and beyond. We had a soy allergy in the group and the waiter - David?- was so helpful to make sure nothing was cross contaminated and brought separate appetizers to be sure she could have a taste of the wagu pastry. A bit disappointed the cauliflower steak and curry scallops were no long on the menu but we found great alternatives. Favorites were cacio e Pepe, shrimp and grits, and tuna - ask for dressing on the side. Lively atmosphere. One of our favorite Milwaukee restaurants and would highly recommend!

Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
