Dorsia

Dorsia far exceeded my expectations on all accounts! This is a new, trendy spot on Brady St in Milwaukee. Walking in, the aesthetic is more modern and elevated but young feeling with the colored lights and techno music playing. I highly recommend making a reservation through Yelp ahead of dining here. I had no issues but my friends said it normally is booked a month out for prime days of the week! We started with a round of drinks and the calamari to start. I got the Toxic Masculinity which was a house, strawberry infused bourbon with ginger ale.. YUM! My fiancé got the Spritz Me Down which was on the sweeter side than bitter like a normal aperol spritz. My cousin and her boyfriend shared a bottle of red which they both enjoyed. The calamari was a good size to share and I loves that it came with both marinara and a pesto cream sauce to dip in. For entrees, they got the Pomodoro pasta (can choose to get the flight sized individual portion or the full dinner sized portions) and the supremo pizza. Both looked delicious and left them with many leftovers!! We decides to stick to what they are known for, the pasta flight! My fiancé and I shared the flight of Duck Carbonara, Saint Brady Speziata (their spicy vodka opt), and Pesto adding a meatball as well. All three were delicious! We were surprised to see the duck shredded for the Carbonara which made it also come across more salty than needed. I loved the Pesto with fresh burrata chunks on it and the vodka definitely had a kick to it for me! What our table found interesting was the meats must be cooked in a sauce because our meatball, although in the vodka sauce, still had marinara on it; and my cousin's chicken in the Pomodoro had Alfredo sauce on it. Either way, we left full and happy! The last piece of our experience was our server Jaden. He made our entire night with his bubbly and fun personality. He took care of us by checking in, making great recommendations, and making sure we had everything we needed at all points of dining. It was a pleasure to have great food but also a great server experience. I would come back and request to sit in his section.

Came on a Sunday. Around 3:30pm. Be aware they don't start food until 4pm. I believe the brunch ends at 2/3pm. However when we came in we were warmly greeted and told we could come have a drink at the bar which we happily indulged. I got a virgin blush mocktail . It's nice to see when they have non-alcoholic options so I gave it a try. It wasn't overly sweet but definitely plenty of juice in it. The inside of fairly small so I would highly recommend getting reservations on a busy night. Inside it had mood lighting and I would recommend wearing a jacket during the winter as it can get cold due to having windows line an entire wall.Our waitress was super nice and let us know exactly At 4 that we could start ordering. We started with the garlic cheese bread and it had a great Marina and isn't greasy like some cheese breads. For my entree I got the Chicken Italiana sandwich with fries. I knew the portions for the pasta were big but had no idea that goes for the sandwich's as well. There was a healthy portion of fries and the sandwich had two breasts on it so I was able to safe one of them for lunch the next day. I throughly enjoyed my meal. My husband got the pesto and sad the sauce was a little thick but overall a tasty dish. I would come here another time for the pasta next time.

Pasta Flight!1. Atmosphere is very dark, quaint, and romantic/gothic maybe. Definitely a nice date restaurant. If seated by the window you can people watch everyone wandering around Brady street2. I had a lemon drop martini. It was your typical lemon drop. No complaints! It was what I expected.3. I love the idea of pasta flights because I'm often indecisive. My husband orders two and so do I! We then share. This works so well! The portion sizes are nice! We had dinner for the next day! The duck carbonara, picante, and pomodoro are my favorites. We opted for the meatball with the pomodoro. Hate that I didn't get a picture. All are very creamy and well seasoned. The picante does have a little kick it. 4. Service was acceptable. We waited a little bit for our waitress to close our tab.All in all we enjoy this restaurant. We most certainly will return and recommend it!

Dorsia had been recommended by a friend specifically for their pasta flight and by golly that's what we went in for. We were both really craving pasta so we went on a Friday evening. The street it's location on in downtown Milwaukee is busy - busy! Lots of people walking, seems like drinking, and super lively. Dorsia has a swanky vibe, especially with all of the photos of eyes everywhere. It's dark (we went at night) and they have small candles at the table that add to the ambiance. The staff seems young and hip but they provided good service. We went with a pasta flight with four types of pasta, lobster Mac, duck carbonara, chicken Alfredo, and St. Brady's Speziatta with a meatball. The flavors were delicious for each one. My favorite for sure was the Lobster Mac but next in line up there was the duck carbonara... the St. Brady was also really tasty and who can ever complain about an Alfredo. All of them were ultra creamy and tasty. We had to take leftovers home. Come hungry if you're doing the flight. Indeed it's pretty big portions.

We went here on a few local recommendations. We were the first to be seated when they opened. It did not take long for the place to fill up quickly! Our waiter was great. The food was really good and tasty. The duck pasta that was on my husband's flight ended up being my favorite!

Amazing food ! Made a reservation a month ago so we could go before a concert. So glad we did. Great ambiance and wonderful service. Pasta was incredible. Pesto alone was very good and the carbonara with the duck was great. A little pricey but worth the experience!

The ambiance was very nice, great date night place. My friend and I both ordered the pasta flight. I got the lobster pasta, Alfredo, and pesto pasta. I liked the Alfredo the best you could tell it was all from scratch. The pesto pasta was second I really liked the taste just wish it had something else to it. The lobster pasta would be loved by seafood fans but I feel like all I tasted was lobster lol. I had leftovers for daysssss the pasta flights were huge and recommended to be eaten by at least 2 people. The pizza was not bad but I did expect better for the price.The overall experience was great! I loved it and can't wait to attend again and try some of their other pastas and drinks.

this is the definition of ok food. You will not have a great meal (and definitely salty) but you will be full and the price is fine/mediocre for restaurants these days.The lighting is way way too dark that you will forget what time it is outsideThe service is nice tho and quick.

Unfortunately, we were hoodwinked by TikTok; my friends and I were in town for a girls trip and this was the first reservation we booked. It was fine, but definitely not what we were anticipating. First, the flights are MASSIVE; they say they are half portions and...if that is a half portion, I don't want to see a full portion. So we definitely over-ordered (definitely on us!). However, I wouldn't say the pasta is particularly great? Some of it came lukewarm, instead of hot. The menu mentioned different pasta types/shapes, but they all came the same (with the exception of the ravioli, obviously). My favorite, of the ones I tried, was the duck pasta.

I really enjoyed Dorsia! The food was delicious. We started with eggplant, which could've been slightly crispier, but still good. All of the pasta was awesome. My favorite was the Saint Brady Speziata. Highly recommend adding a meatball with it! Our service was fine, nothing extraordinary. The ambiance was nice, I love Brady Street and it was a fun, busy spot even on a Monday night!
