Sprizzo Gallery Caffe’ is home for lovers of the arts, good food, coffee, martinis, and music. Sprizzo means “spark” in Italian, like the spark of creativity and the spark of the first cup of great coffee in the morning.  Sprizzo sparked an explosion of arts and entertainment in the community by original owner Jeff Seymour in 1997. Creative energy is exactly what you will experience at Sprizzo.

Sprizzo is located in a remodeled turn of the century building in Historic Downtown Waukesha, where in the early 1900’s Joe Simon of Simon motor Sales Co. once delighted his customers with the automobiles he would drive back from Detroit. The tin ceiling and terrazzo floor act as reminders of the building’s rich history, combined with the contemporary and brightly colored walls form a canvas for a series of shows featuring mostly local artists in a variety of media.

While you admire the art, sample Sprizzo array of homemade daily specials, including soups, sandwiches, and salads, plus a spectrum of gourmet coffees and teas. With outside patio seating next to the Riverwalk, the location is a downtown hot spot. The full bar built in the shape of three giant olives, is the perfect place to enjoy a specialty martini. Friday night Open Mic encourages local musicians, while Saturday nights feature area professionals. Everything in the restaurant, including the counters, tables, bar, and chairs have been custom built and painted making Sprizzo a work of art in and of itself.
