    I brought my granddaughter to lunch before a show, she thought the kids menu had great choices. It’s was a nice quiet atmosphere, soft enough her and I could talk. We’ll be back again

    I ordered the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken (and gluten free pasta) At nearly $30 a plate, I would have expected a side salad or something, but that was it. And it was very bland. Not much flavor at all. I wasn’t happy with it. I won’t return.

    Petterino's is well known Chicago Restaurant in the heart of the theater district. Nice atmosphere however, the dinner was only marginal at best. I had the Chicken Parmigiana, and the chicken was a tad overcooked which was rather disappointing, but I had the Tomato Bisque which very pleasant tasting. Service was very quick, and the waiter was friendly and efficient. Overall, Petterinos was good but far from excellent!

    Food and service were great. One thing I didn’t appreciate about our experience was seeing the family at a nearby table show up in flip-flops, sweatpants and hoodies. What class! Do restaurants just seat anybody now? I know this might not be Chicago’s fanciest, most exclusive expensive restaurant, but this completely broke the illusion for me that I was paying for an elevated dining experience. Maybe consider a dress code, so I don’t feel like I’m paying $150+ to treat my girlfriend to dinner at the high school cafeteria.

    Very quiet on Easter Sunday evening! Food was great, great service, the “busboy” did more for us than the waitress! He was really great!!
