  The pizza has the most amazing crust.  
  
  Had the Angelina pizza with spinach, Gorgonzola, prosciutto, walnuts and olive oil.  And Papa Tony's with pepperoni and Boursin.  
  
  Have had appetizers in the past and other dishes that are also very good. Highly recommend. He sat outside with our dog and had friendly service

  Sala is exactly what I love about Milwaukee. I've been here over 5 years and I am still pleasantly surprised by the new gems I find hidden around this town. Sala is exactly that, an artsy quiet littler dinner establishment that resides in an Eastside neighborhood by the college.
  
  Meet a restaurant that specializes and slangs out pizza pie, which I have yet to try, but also has a talented hand in crafting specialty Italian cuisine with a touch second to none. They also promote and have a ton of art, which I assume revolves in the place. Upon entry, I was just taken back by the quaint ambiance yet classy style this place has.
  
  What we ordered were two dishes and a bottle of wine, which were perfect. I had the fish special (Can't remember the fish to save my life) on a bed of rich creamy polenta. My wife had the Sugo, which is a house specialty. She added the artichoke hearts and Kalamata olives and it was outstanding! I did think mine was a bit pricey, but this is a one of a kind unique restaurant and you have to give it to them. Getting produce and fish that fresh, it's not the easiest task and when doing so it had better be the truth. Well it was! All the textures layers and flavors were there.
  
  We will be back to try this joint again as I've been told the pie is solid and I need another pizza spot in my life especially one that is authentic!

  After spending a frigid day on our bikes covering the city, we were all craving some carbs. Sala could accommodate our party and had options satisfying the vegetarian, pescatarian, and meat eaters.
  
  We were ravenous and started out with the artichoke dip and breaded eggplant. Our server kindly provided extra bread for the dip. Both dishes were good, I preferred the dip over the two. Personally, I thought our extra bread (plain Italian bread) paired better than the crostini.
  
  For mains we got: meatballs, lasagna, sugo with olives & artichokes, and asparagus penne. Entrees came with a choice of soup or salad. I ordered the salad with the asparagus penne. The salad came with house made Italian vinaigrette. The portions were very generous and everyone seemed happy with their meals. The only knock I had about my meal was that it was supposed to be made with a soft olive oil and there really wasn't much heat to the dish.
  
  Overall, it's a solid restaurant tucked into a residential area. It's a great little find and suitable for family dinners.

  This place is amazing!!!
  This is definitely a "get what you pay for" kind of place.
  With the pics you get not only great food but great service.  From the friendly face of the hostess to the people coming to clear off the dirty dishes from our table. Everyone was polite and genuinely sorry they had to interrupt us to get the dishes. (They were not interrupting us at all)
  Our server Kate was wonderful.
  Talented, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Kate made our day while we were here, and I can't wait to visit again soon.
  Appetizers: Breaded Eggplant w/fresh Mozzarella
  Entrees: Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Marsala, Saltimbocca, Special:Shrimp w/Tomatoes & linguini in a butter garlic sauce.
  All the food and drinks were fabulous!!!

  Skip right into the entres for a minuet. Decadent! The asparagus penne had a very fresh taste and wonderful texture, the sauce was light and the dish was yummy. My girlfriend ordered the Parmesan chicken, a very large portion - perfect for left overs. If you leave hungry, you didn't order correctly.
