Mia Famiglia restaurant, in Hales Corners, is launching a new menu that displays a modern twist while staying true to its Italian roots. Chef Tomas White has been testing smallplate offerings over the past year, fine-tuning dishes such as a seared pork belly served with grilled fingerlings, haricots verts, organic spinach with warm bacon vinaigrette and a local farm egg, which now appears on a substantial small plates section of the new menu.

“We take great care to procure local produce, meats, dairy and eggs,” states White. “It’s important to the quality of the food we serve, but it’s also important to us that we support local purveyors. It’s the right thing to do.”

The menu’s entrées are decidedly Italian, with a variety of fresh, house-made pasta dishes and large-plate offerings such as veal saltimbocca and chicken spiedini. All pastas and most dishes can be prepared glutenfree; Mia Famiglia has one of the few certified gluten-free kitchens in Milwaukee. Additionally, two fresh fish options and new steak offerings are available daily.
