    Got heartburn after meal. I don’t think I will come back. in Italian restaurants I expect high quality products but unfortunately here processed American products. This Italian restaurant is not Italian is American product. Even bread was not bread it was American artificial bread. This restaurant didn't make any impression on me. Italian by name and American bad and unhealthy food.

    The food was delicious, and the service was excellent! A very popular, busy restaurant. The location is great for dinner after a play at the Goodman, and perfect for shopping at the Kringle market. Staff were polite, efficient and provided just the right amount of attentiveness. It was a lovely meal! We will be back!

    Dined at Petterino’s before our show at Cadillac Palace. It was a great experience. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant itself is a quintessential Chicago theater experience, complete with theater caricatures adorning the walls. Old school charm that has been kept fully current. Also, the restaurant at Christmastime is decorated beautifully & adds to the joy of the season!

    It was honestly just… ok. It’s over priced and they are now adding 3.5% to offset inflation? Really?!?! It can be removed at your discretion but… I simply found that rude and distasteful … I just reduced the tip.

    The staff seated us promptly and the waiter was attentive and helpful. The food was delicious — we had fettuccine alfredo with chicken and rigatoni vodka with sausage. We enjoyed the experience. Even at the busiest time of year and before a Goodman performance, we didn’t feel rushed or neglected (although the staff was rushing to deliver food and clear tables).
