Sala: 25 Years of Sicilian Flavor on Milwaukee’s East Side

Munching Around Milwaukee host Charlie sits down with Teresa Balistreri-Warsh, co-owner of Sala - Modern Sicilian Dining on Milwaukee’s east side, to celebrate the restaurant’s 25th anniversary and share the story behind its Sicilian-inspired menu.   They discuss family recipes like the signature sugo and meatball sauce, the addition of pizza, and the role of seasonal specials and art in the dining room.   The conversation covers Sala’s neighborhood roots, the early days of converting a coffeehouse space, outdoor dining innovations, and how the restaurant adapted with carryout and community support during the pandemic. The episode highlights Sala’s balance of tradition and modern touches and invites listeners to experience the food and atmosphere for themselves.   Sala - Modern Sicilian Dining - https://saladining.com/    You can watch the YouTube video here - https://youtu.be/32k7OsHaFsM    “Munching Around Milwaukee” is part of the “Milwaukee Podcast Network”.
