Usually arrives early from a friendly driver. Good food at good prices.

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. It’s in kind of a crummy little strip mall and looks like a little family restaurant but it was pretty good. My husband had the fish fry which was very inexpensive for the amount of food. I think it was $ 9 for 4 pcs of fried cod, soup or salad, pasta or potato, and 2 pcs of garlic bread. That’s a lot of food! I had the Alfredo tortellini and it was delicious. It came with garlic bread and soup for around $ 12. For a Friday night during prime dinner hour, it was busy but not obnoxiously so and we were seated right away. The place needs some updating but it was a great value. The only thing that really turned me off was that one of the employees was standing in the corner watching everyone in the dining room and it was kinda creepy. I think he was mostly watching for people picking up to go orders but he was still creepy.

Ordered delivery, it arrived early, piping hot and was delicious. The sauce is amazing, you can absolutely tell the food is homemade and not frozen. My chicken was crispy and delicious, but slightly over salted. Other than that it was amazing and I’m excited to order again in the future.

Ordered a pizza for pickup. Not bad. Price was about $ 16 for a med 2 topping thin crust. Good pizza. Took a little longer than Pepi’s used to(30min vs 15min).

I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years it’s a cute little place with some good meals. I like their liver and onion and stir fries.

Here I go again… In Milwaukee, with a taste for Italian. Unilocalers pointed me to Saraphino’s. It’s a small restaurant in a mini strip mall, that you would never just happen to run into. It’s like your Uncle’s place. older décor, small staff, Aunt in the last booth, reading the paper. The food is amazing. I ordered simply. spaghetti and meatballs. Wait before you click off. the soup was really home made not the BIG can type, the sauce is REALLY good, the garlic bread was made for my order and not burned. :) I was not a fan of the meatballs but I am from the Northeast, where meatballs are just made differently. The owner came over to ask about the food. when he heard my response. he was very appreciative of the praise. If you are ever in the area, you should check it out. Definite repeat. :)

I love this place, I always order their 747 huge pizza it’s amazing the thin crust is always crispy with a very generous portion of cheese and sauce and whatever topping I decide to put on it. Hands down it’s a sure win, the Fettuccini Alfredo is also wonderful.

First time eating here in many years! Ordered a chicken parm with spaghetti for lunch… And I’m able to have it for dinner too. Very generous portions, normal Price for this type of cuisine and for the competition in the area. The chicken parm was really good, while the pasta was pretty Generic. Overall I’d get it again tho!

The food is always good, quick and delicious. if it wasn’t for the variance in waitresses this would be higher rated. The girl that works Mondays and wed named Lisa is a very good waitress and I have never had an issue with her. However, Fridays are a whole different thing. there is an older lady that seems like she has been there 20 years. it took her forever to take drink order, bring drink order and everything. But this wont stop me from going there

I have been eating here for at least twenty years. The food has stayed the same and the prices have barely changed. The wait staff is consistent as well. Their meals come in absurd portions. If you order spaghetti it comes with two pieces of garlic bread, a nice salad or soup(I’d recommend the salad), as well as a couple scoops of decent ice cream for dessert. You can get all that for under ten dollars. All their red sauce dishes are cooked properly and are above average. Their pizza is good but not great. You can do better in the general area. This probably sounds silly but their fried chicken is where it’s at. It is a nicely done home style fried chicken. Since they are primarily an Italian restaurant they don’t cook the chicken in huge batches. They use raw chicken and bread it themselves. They fry hardly anything at Saraphino’s which means the fryer oil is always clean. The orders of chicken are always perfectly crunchy, juicy, and thoroughly cooked. If you have the chicken delivered it comes in a paper basket with a thin piece of paper affixed to the top. This allows the chicken to breath and keeps it crunchy. Usually, when something fried is delivered it ends up soggy and chewy. There is nothing fancy about the interior. The establishment keeps things tidy and clean. You’re not going to have a spiritual revelation eating their meals but you can do far worse without even trying. Although, if you love fried chicken a revelation may be in the making.

Haven’t been here since 2009, so when I was invited to join a few of my railroad buddies, I quickly accepted the invitation. I discovered Saraphino’s in 1992 when I started working on the southside and for years was a weekly regular, enjoying the huge menu and referring others. Now after a four year absence, I was looking forward to my favorite meal and I mean the Old Fashion Mushroom Steak($ 10.95) complete with pasta side, choice of salad or cup of soup and garlic or Italian bread basket. Can’t forget the ice cream dessert either. Don’t think I can eat for a day there was so much food, but I did finish it all! My three friends were not only regulars, but stayed Italian with Bob and Keith ordering Chicken Parmigiana($ 9.95) and Dave the Chicken Parmigiana & Lasagna Combo($ 14.95). Not only did they all agree their large servings were delicious, but Dave had so much food, it looked like he could open his own restaurant. This is the Saraphino’s I remember: wonderful food, great portions and excellent value. Add efficient service thanks to Lisa and this place is back on my list of restaurants. I may even bring my friend John, the certified Italian chef here!

Its been a while! I just so happen to stumble upon up this pizza joint! I haven’t dined here but i have eaten here. I ordered the pizza 747 which was huge! It was thin crusted and cheesy as all hell! A friend of mine had the Lasagna and he said that it was excellent he went back for more the very next night. I did have a chance to check out the inside of the restaurant. It was old school Italian if i could take a stab at describing it. I will go back and do a little adventuring around the menu. In the mean time if you choose to go get yourself a 747 pizza it is worth it. Oh yea it might not be able to fit inside you car! I had troubles getting it in my car.

The pizza is of fine quality and great price. The 747 is the best deal by far. We had them cater our rehearsal dinner. Pizzas and pans of pasta with garlic bread. The pasta was okay, but shouldn’t have too high of expectations… pizza is their calling. We ordered five giant pizzas and two pans of pasta and some salads for just over $ 150 and fed 50 people with a ton of left overs. You get a lot for your money at this place. Give them a shot!

Do yourself a favor and buy some boxed pasta and a jar of Ragu. I had the meatballs and Penne and the meatballs were not good. The garlic bread was ok, but you cant really go wrong when you put lots of butter on bread.
