Was Anonym at Tess a mag?
This place is definitely a hidden gem on the east side. The Zuppa di Pesce was out of this world! The mussels were incredibly fresh, and the sauces were absolutely delicious. We also shared a fantastic Mediterranean salad with a citrus vinaigrette. And let's not forget the flourless chocolate cake and butterscotch pudding—they were the highlight of my day. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially to those... View all feedback.

What Margaret English dislikes about Tess:
I would say this is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. The staff is friendly and I’ve always loved my food. Prices seem to have increased a tiny bit recently (as it has everywhere) but it is still a great deal. View all feedback.
