Had a great meal at Petrini’s! The house salad, minestrone, garlic bread, lasagna, and chicken parm were all super tasty, and the portions were huge for the price. Loved the strawberry lemonade and the chocolate cake, too. Service was awesome — the kitchen nailed everything, and our servers (the guy in the red hat and the lady with the cute blonde bob) were really sweet and attentive. Definitely recommend!

We stopped in for a very quick bite on the way to The Music Box. Andres was very accommodating! His suggestions were very delicious, fresh and hot! We ordered chicken parm and gnocchi. Both were well seasoned and amazing. We were in and out on time! Petro was a server the next table over and he was also very attentive to his customers. All in all a great experience for a new to me place!

I stopped by just before noon on a Thursday and had a fantastic first-time experience. The food was delicious, and the Italian wine paired perfectly. The ambiance was warm and inviting, exactly the kind of vibe you hope for when exploring a new city. As someone visiting from out of town, I especially appreciated how welcoming and attentive the bartender was. It instantly made me feel at home. This spot was a perfect choice before heading out on my cruise excursion. Highly recommend!
