    Pretty interior and nice waiter. Very convenient to Goodman. Very high noise level. Ravioli was rubbery and Brussel sprouts were very overdone.Disappointing.

    very convenient to the Goodman Theatre. A bit noisy but not terrible. Food was ok but nothing I'd go out of my way for.... unless I was going to the Goodman again.

    This was our first time at Petterino’s. We were in awe with the dignity and ambiance it projected. Everyone was pleasant and very attentive. Our lunch was excellent. I’m especially glad that I added a cup of minestrone soup with my sandwich. Perfect. I have never had sausage in it before. No one rushed us from our table and gave us plenty of time to sit and chat. Well done

    Bustling spot for dinner and drinks before the theater. Swanky ambiance that only gets better when the weather warms and the patio doors are opened. Friendly, professional staff.

    Four star = Convenient to Goodman Theater Four star = Service FOOD = 1 star NOT GOOD, BAD, 4 GUESTS AT TABLE, EVERYONE SAID, LESS THAN MEDIOCRE! For $200 with no drips it should be at least good. Sorry, not going back.

    This is our go to place before or after a Goodman Theater show. Food is always very good with a nice variety with seasonal offerings and steadfast favorites.

    We Split the Eggplant Parmesan and had the mushroom pizza delicious and a good valve. Skipped the cocktails $16 plus is a bit much.

    We sat down to dine at 5:30pm and by 6:30pm had already been asked by three different people if we were finished with our meal. While three of us were still eating, we were given the dessert menu. The servers again tried to remove our plates while we were eating! We were asked 7 times if we were done while forks were still going to our mouths. We dine here before other theater engagements and have never experienced this before. Also, I ordered the Chicken Vesuvio which was nothing like the dish. The potatoes and peas were great but the chicken was dry and so deep fried that the skin was dark and crispy. No flavor that one expects with a Vesuvio. I thought perhaps I had the wrong order it was so awful but in the interest of time (and already being hustled) I did not want to complain and cause a delay since they obviously wanted our table (although we saw empty ones around us).

    Thank you for your feedback. We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience, and we regret that you felt rushed during your meal. Your comments about both the service and the Chicken Vesuvio are valuable, and we will be reviewing them with our team. We appreciate you dining with us before your theater engagements and hope to provide a better experience in the future.
