    Excellent food and service! The calamari is fantastic. We had the branzino as catch of the day and fettuccine with mushrooms. Both were superb. Wait staff were professional, friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend!

    I had the pork osso buco which was excellent. We shared the brownie dessert, which was also delicious. Highly recommended - nice date night with my wife after the Chicago Theater. We would definitely go back.

    Petterino’s is my favorite restaurant when I go to the theater district. It’s always a busy place but I make my reservation when I buy my theater ticket to be sure to get a booth. The food and service are excellent and the location is perfect for a day or night at the theater either before or after.

    The food was outstanding (chicken limone and risotto) and Roberto took excellent care of us, as he has on past meals there.

    We went after seeing a show at the Goodman next door. The kitchen and bar were open late, and it was just fantastic. A great way to spend a night in the city. We go often and will be back again!

    We had one of the worst dining experiences ever - all due to our server with no personality. First, I ordered a dirty martini with one blue cheese olive and asked that it be shaken 10 times longer than usual so it was extra cold, preferably with ice chips. I could tell she didn't listen to a word I said. My friend ordered a cosmo. Sure enough, my martini arrived and I could tell by the color it had hardly any olive juice. It also had two olives and was warm. My friend's drink was also warm. I then ordered steak frites, medium rare. It arrived RAW. I sent it back. When the waitress brought it back she practically threw it at me, never asking me to check to make sure it was ok, never coming back to see if it was cooked to my liking. I had to flag her down to ask for more chimichurri which had been wiped off to re-grill it. Again, she never came back to check how anything was. She was not personable and rude. Her mentality seemed to be get them in/get them out. Truly a very unenjoyable experience. Do better Petterino's.
