    Went this charming BYOB over the weekend based on reviews. Didn't disappoint! Limited menu, but everything was delicious. Still growing into service..ask for order the bread (extra charge but worth it). Will go back for sure.

    Good experience but service was a little off. Not a lot of attention. Food was better than the last time we were there when it first opened.

    We enjoyed dinner Friday evening. I had the lasagna and my husband had another pasta and we enjoyed both. The focaccia plate starter was delicious. Service was a little slow but we would definitely go back.

    Petunia is a hidden gem! The food is fantastic- better Italian than most of the places in the Islands. The service was excellent. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.
