I've noticed a pizzeria there before, but a few months ago, I noticed a name change. Antonio "Tony" Balsamo opened Antonio's Pizza, 1000 E. Locust St., around two months ago. I decided to stop in and see if he had the perfect pizza for me. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/rickrodriguez/rickrodriguez052213.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/rickrodriguez/rickrodriguez052213.html?33859 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:06:00 CDT A restaurant is lucky when it has a guy like Cole Ersel who spends his days breaking down whole animals and making charcuterie. Just ask Executive Chef Dan Jacobs of Wolf Peach. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/ersel.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/ersel.html?33674 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:06:00 CDT Five O'Clock Steakhouse, 2416 W.

Today, the owners of the organic crepe business announced on Facebook that they are discontinuing the business. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/crepesclosing.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/crepesclosing.html?33827 Sat, 18 May 2013 20:19:00 CDT While Whitefish Bay is blossoming with an array of new businesses and restaurants, the eastern portion of Wauwatosa is becoming a similar hotbed of development and change. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/easttosa.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/easttosa.html?33803 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:06:00 CDT Runaway Meatball, a Sicilian-style take-out restaurant, will open soon at 3590 N.

If you're anything like me, you love the delicious fungi, and yet you may know very little about the mushrooms themselves. Fortunately, there is expertise right in our own backyard. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/morels13.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/morels13.html?33779 Wed, 15 May 2013 15:08:00 CDT The story of Pietro's starts with Filippo Tarantino who worked as a baker in Sicily and moved to the United States in 1959.

So, by default and out of admitted laziness, we've been enjoying more meals "out," than are typical for us. So, how are we avoiding the major ouch in our pocketbook and around our waistlines? Well, we're splitting entrees. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/lindsaygarric/lindsaygarric051413.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/lindsaygarric/lindsaygarric051413.html?33765 Tue, 14 May 2013 14:15:00 CDT Angelic Bakehouse will break ground at the site of its new $2.3 million production facility in Cudahy tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/angelicbakehousecudahy13.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/angelicbakehousecudahy13.html?33774 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:15:00 CDT Carlisle, a three-time James Beard Award nominee whose resume includes work in Chicago restaurants like Tru and The Bristol, says that the restaurant will really be "two in one," and will offer diners the choice of a casual side and a fine dining side. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/jeffersonhouse.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/jeffersonhouse.html?33761 Mon, 13 May 2013 21:03:00 CDT News from the newly rebranded Miller Time Pub and Grill, Grand Geneva Resort, Eddie Martini's, Le Reve and Bolzano Artisan Meats. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibblemay132013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibblemay132013.html?33741 Mon, 13 May 2013 11:11:00 CDT "One of Milwaukee's best kept secrets ... if you can find the Double Eagle Pub, you will enjoy the Double Eagle Pub!" http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/doubleeaglepub.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/doubleeaglepub.html?33743 Mon, 13 May 2013 09:37:00 CDT Offstage, they're pals, but onstage they are ferocious competitors. It's roast for dinner when Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert debate good versus evil at the Riverside Theater. We had the chance to catch up with Ripert before his big performance. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/ericripert2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/ericripert2013.html?33723 Fri, 10 May 2013 11:04:00 CDT The bowling alleys are long gone, but the loss has never affected the popularity of The Horse and Plow pub in The American Club at Kohler. The subterranean pub and grille was especially bustling during a recent Tuesday visit as the lunch service drew a mix of locals, resort guests and - because the weather was good - golfers to the eatery, which recently got a bit of a facelift. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/kohlerhorse.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/kohlerhorse.html?33646 Thu, 9 May 2013 09:02:00 CDT Filippo's Italian Restaurant, 6915 W. Lincoln Ave., is one of the many pizzerias on Lincoln Avenue that I've alluded to in past blogs. Several people have been asking when I was going to visit Filippo's, so I stopped in on a slow night to try the sausage, mushroom and onion on thin crust and a sausage and pepperoni on the regular hand-tossed pizza. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/rickrodriguez/rodriguez050813.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/rickrodriguez/rodriguez050813.html?33704 Wed, 8 May 2013 12:02:00 CDT Sara Wong will bring a new line of mustards to the market at the Milwaukee Public Market Urban Market this summer. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/milwaukeemustardco.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/milwaukeemustardco.html?33689 Wed, 8 May 2013 11:07:00 CDT Atlas BBQ opened at the end of 2012 and features the tagline "Beer.

But, that certainly isn't a sign that they don't deserve credit for the hard work they do. Shaun Abbott, Sous Chef at Mason Street Grill, has more than 17 years' experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/shaunabbott.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/shaunabbott.html?33529 Fri, 3 May 2013 11:03:00 CDT Love Handle to offer "fine fast food" to Milwaukee's East Side. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/lovehandle.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/lovehandle.html?33651 Fri, 3 May 2013 09:07:00 CDT A new butcher shop and cafe, specializing in sustainably raised and butchered meats, is now open in the former Kafevino location. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bavette.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bavette.html?33639 Thu, 2 May 2013 11:50:00 CDT The Bay restaurant, 342 E.

He found Bobanna's for sale so he and his family made the purchase.

Here's where to find them all in Milwaukee. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/100foods2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/100foods2013.html?33608 Wed, 1 May 2013 11:02:00 CDT For five generations, Reinhard Liebner's family has owned Bay View Packing and has manufactured a large portion of the pickled offerings found in watering holes - and grocery stores, liquor stores, convenience stores and bait shops - across the state. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bayviewpickledproducts.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bayviewpickledproducts.html?33549 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:01:00 CDT Even if you're paying close attention, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with the latest in food news here in Milwaukee. So here's a taste of what's new and notable - with news about Bourbon and Tunns grand reopening, Maxie's Derby Day festivities, a new menu at the Eatery, and a brunch revamp at the Packing House. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibbleapril292013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibbleapril292013.html?33550 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:03:00 CDT Despite the acclaim heaped upon their mentors, we very seldom hear from the unsung heroes of the restaurant kitchen. Sous chefs aren't lauded with awards. Or mentioned in most restaurant reviews. They seldom get credit for dishes they've created that make it onto a restaurant menu. And - in most cases - there are few restaurant patrons who even know their names. In fact, I'd venture a guess that most people, unless they've worked in the service industry, don't have a very clear understanding of what a sous chef (French for "under chef") really does. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/souschefs2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/souschefs2013.html?33515 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:09:00 CDT Cafe La Paloma, a new Mexican restaurant in Walker's Point, will soon open at 606 S. 5th St. - across the street from La Fuente. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/cafelapalomaopening.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/cafelapalomaopening.html?33561 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:01:00 CDT It's not a done deal, but it looks like a Pita Pit will open on Farwell Avenue. Signs are in the window and Meghan Bertram, the pre-opening coordinator for Pita Pit, says it's likely one will open this summer. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/pitapitopening.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/pitapitopening.html?33557 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:27:00 CDT We all scream for ice cream - or, custard, that is. Bartolotta Restaurants plans to open its Northpoint Custard stand for the season on May 18. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/northpointopening2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/northpointopening2013.html?33552 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:24:00 CDT The Bonanza Shopping Center is not even a glimmer of what it once was, but Gianelli's Pizza and Chicken Man are doing their best to keep some life in the building, and I think they're doing a good job. They blew me away with the texture and sweetness of their handmade sauce - and did I mention there were strips of bacon on my pizza? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/rickrodriguez/rodriguez042413.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/rickrodriguez/rodriguez042413.html?33535 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:03:00 CDT The Noble's lease is up. Help them buy their building and claim their Walker's Point home. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/savethenoble.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/savethenoble.html?33532 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 09:01:00 CDT If owners Dustin Bowie and Rob Settecase have anything to say about it, their latest business venture, Ugly's Pub at 1125 N. Old World 3rd St., will be ... well, anything but ugly. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/uglyspub042313.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/uglyspub042313.html?33510 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:04:00 CDT Zelicious Treats and Gifts opened in the Shops of Grand Avenue, 275 W. Wisconsin Ave. The shop specializes in gourmet, pre-packaged chocolates, popcorn, old fashioned candy and quirky items like chocolate-dipped Pringles and Doritos. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/zelicioustreats.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/zelicioustreats.html?33513 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:05:00 CDT The newest food truck on the block | heirloom vegetables for sale | a great new breakfast and brunch spot | new menu at Firefly Urban Bar and Grill http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibbleapril222013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibbleapril222013.html?33501 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:04:00 CDT From veal brains to hopple popple, many Milwaukee eateries serve up signature dishes.

The food, on the other hand, could still use a few tweaks. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/riverwestfillingstationfood.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/riverwestfillingstationfood.html?33438 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:05:00 CDT Sababa, 319 E.
