    We'll return, mostly because of the awesome service and it's very close to the Skylight Theater. But the crudo (which had been recommended by the waitress) was azero value item. Tasty, yes. But extremely small portion, even for a "small plate." A fingernail's worth of the kanpachi fish made it seem more like an amuse-bouche. Was also overly watery. The rest of the meal was fine. But skip the crudo, unless you want to feel ripped off. We enjoyed the kafta, octopus, and garden pizza.

    For drinks my partner ordered a lemon drop which should be a standard cocktail for any bar but it was not made well. I ordered the Milan mule which was ok. We ordered a charcuterie board as an appetizer. It was presented well and was tasty. They had this honey flavored sauce that was good as well as this jam that tasted like oranges that we both liked. However, the main dishes were not very good. My partner ordered the lamb which should be flavorful but was bland and the sauce on the lamb was not very good. The couscous had no flavor at all soca normally tasteful dish with the lamb became non-flavorful. The staff was very kind and offered her a different option, so she got meatballs but again these had no flavor. The seasoning seemed predominantly to be pepper rather than a mix of spices and was below average. I ordered the margherita pizza which was average. The manager was also very kind and took the meatballs off the check. Overall if you are looking for a restaurant with ambiance this is a nice place to go. However, they have room for improvement with their food

    We put our order in right way to "avoid delay" from a neighboring large party. After a lengthy delay, the large party still got their food before us. I had to ask how much longer: "it'll just be 3 more minutes," but yet another lengthy delay. The place was far active, but not packed. We never felt our server was being straight with us.

    I will never recommend Tre Rivaldi to anyone, they ruined Mothers Day for my family. Only dining option was the buffet. While I'll admit it was my mistake to assume the buffet price would be reasonable, the price was never communicated - not on a menu, not on a sign, and when I received the bill and asked the waiter about the price he said, "the price is on the website". For the 5 of us, Mothers Day brunch cost over $350 ($65 per plate) and the food was on par with free breakfast offered at hotel chains like Embassy Suites or Hampton Inn. Not to mention we were there during the last hour of the buffet, no fruit, no salad, stale waffles, I could go on and on. Sorry Mom.

    What a GREAT meal and service! The new menu really has some outstanding items on it but kept the old favorites! Try the goat cheese appetizer! We had a wonderful server Janet and it was nice it wasn't so loud like some restaurants are. Even with a table of 8, we could all hear each other.

    Staff and menu are great. I’ve enjoyed TreRivali several times and this was the first time the kitchen let us down. 1 dish was great, two were good but not memorable, one had to be sent back and exchanged for another. Next time!

    For some reason, hot spice has become the dominant flavor served here. You won’t see it on the menus, but there it is, in all of its lazy glory, in just about every bite.

    Food was mediocre. Falafel dry with barely any tzatziki sauce. Mozzarella and tomato sandwich not really a panini, more like warmed ok bread with not a lot of mozzarella (the balsamic drizzle was a nice touch tho).

    Everything ordered was amazing. Lamb appetizer was mouth watering. Great yet simple margherita pizza cooked to perfection. LOVED the ricotta dumpling. The sauce was creme de la creme. Great mocktail list with clever names. Chef greeted us at the time and our waitress gave great recommendations and was knowledgeable on all fronts. Great evening with friends. Thank you!

    We made reservations for Easter buffet. The food was average and cold. Pasta with meat sauce, frozen heated up quiche, lamb, eggs Benedict etc. Au gratin potatoes were the best item on the buffet. Make your own waffles? You make me a waffle. The dessert display was a variety of take and bake cookies. The $11 mimosas were tiny and had little champagne. So for $200 for the two of us with tip we left very disappointed. We could get an amazing dinner in Milwaukee for that price. Server was efficient and timely.

    Upon entry waiter seated us and brought one water for two people but corrected mistake accordingly. Waiter came once throughout the hour and 45 minutes we spent with food and drinks. Sauces that were supposed to be cold were extremely warm. I had to go find someone to see if they could obtain a "fresher" one to which his words were, "I am sorry we don't have any colder ones as someone left out them by the stove/fire in the kitchen". Other staff members were helpful in helping correct some of the mistakes made which helped. Food was okay for the price we paid. Ambiance and noise level were good so comfortability wasn't an issue. Overall poor experience. If service/food improved would dine again :)
