AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Petterino's offers a lively and theatrical dining experience, perfect for theater-goers. Its "swanky ambiance," "great food," and "friendly, professional staff" make it a favorite pre-show spot. While some find it noisy, the "excellent service" and "delicious menu options," including standout dishes like the branzino and calamari, consistently impress.

    Love coming here before a show and trying to guess who the caricatures are on the walls. Lots of menu options!

    Fiod was really good, but portion size for eggplant parmigiana was disappointing. One thin slice of eggplant with sauce and mozzarella and about 1 cup of spaghetti and sauce for $25. Wifes gnocchi dish was very good and adequate size. Very noisy restaurant.

    We were a little disappointed with our expectations vs. our experience. The two of us were seated naturally at a table for two. However, between the candle, flowers, water glasses, water bottle, and plates, we felt crowded. To top it off, the table was very wobbly from uneven legs. We ordered chicken parmigiana and chicken limone. Good flaver overall, but the chicken seemed to be dry and overcooked. While the wife enjoyed a view of the restaurant, my view was the wall behind her. I would have preferred the table to have neen situated sideways so that we could both enjoy the restaurant dining room. While overall, the experience was not terrible, we probably would not bring friends or family back.

    Our first time, not planning to go back any time soon. The food was OK, just OK. Always makes you question when your food comes out piping hot within 10 minutes after you order it. Obviously pre-made.

    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.
