    The service was lackadaisical, the food was mediocre (unripe, white, tomatoes in the caprese sandwich). There are better nearby choices for theater going.

    Lots of great choices—both apps & mains. Always have a great selection of specials too. Tried the asparagus risotto & it was delicious. Staff is great.

    Great cocktails and wine. Pasta special was amazing. Chicken pot pie is excellent and the service was wonderful. Good choices on the dessert and we look forward to returning. Rafael our server made sure we had a good experience and got to the play on time

    Petterinos is reliable and always lively but not overwhelming with noise. The service is very good. We had the cavatelli special with spring vegetables and the mafalde both of which were very good especially because the pasta itself is homemade. They have a very good wine list with some reasonable selections that match well to the food.

    The waitress that served us was not very helpful or warm. She rushed us, even though we weren’t in a hurry like most people for the theater. She didn’t even ask. Our main dishes were served before we were done with the appetizer and when they cleared our plates of the appetizer, they took our silverware and didn’t replace so our main dishes were getting cold. I had to go to the server station and find my own utensils for us to use. She never came to get us more drinks, which we would’ve happily done. She dropped off the bill and when I changed my mind and decided I want dessert, our server was nowhere to be found so I paid the bill and left. Really felt unwelcome and that has not been my experience in the past. I will not be returning. There are better options.
