Tre Rivali - Mediterranean New American Bar in Milwaukee, WI

Tre Rivali is a solid dinner spot in the Third Ward neighborhood. It offers an interesting mix of broadly Mediterranean dishes, from Italian inspired pasta, to labneh, baba ghanoush and much more. The place trends a bit more upscale. It is on the pricier side, although certainly not unreasonably expensive. I have been to Tre Rivali several times, and in general have enjoyed my visits. However, I have two major issues: 1. I find many of their dishes to be overly salty. This seems to be a problem largely with their sauces. This might not be a problem for everyone, but I really don't enjoy when the saltiness takes over the other flavors. 2. The menu at Tre Rivali is not very diet inclusive. It is pretty standard these days to at least mark on your menus which dishes are vegetarian, but Tre Rivali doesn't do this. Last time I went, I asked the server if their Caesar salad was vegetarian. She said yes, but I am pretty sure the dressing had anchovies in it. Having this marked clearly on the menu would solve issues like this Overall, these issues don't take away from the overall quality of Tre Rivali, which is a really great option for a nice dinner in the Third Ward!

Always an amazing time and great wait staff. Been here a few times but was unaware of the seasonal changes, so if there's something you absolutely loved ask and they can sometimes make it. The food is always on point with great portions.

I've enjoyed brunch and lunch at Tre Rivali. I like their Mediterranean options for lunch and the breakfast/brunch options. The bagel with salmon was presented beautifully and tasted great! I love coming to Tre Rivali because I like to look around the beautiful Journeyman Hotel and I enjoy the ambience. The Journeyman also offers an outdoor rooftop for dining and cocktails with a spectacular view during the warmer months. Service has been good both times I've been here, no complaints.

Went to Tre Rivali last minute on a Friday night. We had been here in the summer and it was ok. Dinner tonight was great! As an app we had the Labneh and roasted beets. We shared the pappardelle bolognese and hanger steak. Both were great. My wife forced me to have dessert with a glass of Tokaji. Delish!

I had the most amazing date night here. The service was great, our waitress gave us solid recommendations and the food was top tier! I had the baked Halloumi cheese, which was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, the lamb kawarma, and the campanelle-my fav due to the creamy sauce! The portions were good too and we definitely left stuffed! I'll be back for sure!

Really nice restaurant in downtown Milwaukee. They had tons of seating options and a nice bar. I ordered the Campanelle and it was super tasty and homey. Service was excellent and their bartenders were very sweet and helpful with the menu. The restaurant has an upscale but friendly vibe and I would definitely return again to try more of their tasty dishes!

I really enjoyed my time at Tre Rivali! My friend ordered a glass of white wine and I ordered the Mare Nostrum G&T and it was super yummy! We also got the focaccia to start and were surprised the red tomato sauce was served cold. But the bread was good! We both ended up ordering the Campanelle. It was delicious, the pasta was very fresh and I loved the mushrooms in the dish. The Patatas Bravas was super delicious, I loved the sauce it came with as well. I'd definitely come here again for a special occasion or date night.

Love coming here for brunch whenever we are in Milwaukee. We enjoy their omelettes, and find them super filling. I always get the mediterranean one and my friend gets the farmers omelette. Personally like my eggs a bit more cooked but still pretty high on the omelette ratings list. It's usually pretty busy but we came by on a saturday and had no issues getting a table. Very friendly service and has great outdoor seating as well as indoors. Nicely decorated and we will continue stopping by.

I finally tried out Tre Rivali during a girls' night and was impressed. The atmosphere is stunning - feels intimate yet airy somehow. The food is also delicious. I got the Dirty Za'atar Martini which was a fun and flavorful twist. We split a few different items: Focaccia, Whipped Farmer's Cheese, Hummus, Ricotta Dumplings, and Woodfired Branzino. The focaccia was dry and lackluster, but everything else was incredible. I particularly loved the Whipped Farmer's Cheese which was the perfect combo of sweet, salty, and savory. My only gripe? We got asked if we wanted more bread with our cheese. We were charged for the additional bread - and another $5 for "bread service."
