Amazing service, lots of option to select from and the server is kind and friendly. We tried the tomato bisque soap and the... eggplant Parmesan, both dishes were flavorful and we especially loved the creaminess of the soup, and the service is also quick.I would recommend this place. Read more

I was in town on a business trip so flying solo. Sat at the bar and Jesse was my bartender/server. Let’s just say this place... is absolutely LEGIT! I asked for a bourbon pls fashioned - sweet, and Jesse suggested a Wisconsin Old Fashioned - ding dingding we have a winner! It was awesome. Then to the menu. Nice varieties and options - I went with the shrimp pesto risotto-well these four shrimp were massive and perfectly cooked! The pesto risotto was lovely. Served hot. Garnished with spring mix.Accompanied with bread and whipped butter. The ambiance was casual yet classy. Located next to the theatre so lots of peopledining and pre-drinking before the 8pm show. Menu prices were reasonable considering the prices nearby from the competition. Iwill be back - and I highly recommend this restaurant. Great experience. Read more
I’ve been twice in the past week. Very good food and excellent service. I’ve sat at the bar both times and the bartender... was super helpful and so efficient and hard working. The food was very good. I had Angry Salmon one time and today hadCalamari. Mmmm. Also I HIGHLY recommend the limoncello martini. I rarely drink alcohol, and this was such a treat. Reallydelicious. The restaurant has interesting decor with all the caricatures on the walls. The bathrooms were sparkling shinyclean. I am so excited to return soon. Read more
After watching a play next door at the Goodman theater this was the nearest restaurant and they had a table available but it was... reserved so we were limited to an hour to eat. We took the table since parking was paid for already and it was near. The placetakes you back in time and it is well taken care of. They have drawings of people on all their walls, Our server was friendlyand accurate with the order, the food came out fast as well. The food was ok, the drinks were better. They do have a largemenu so perhaps other items are much better. They do have outdoor seating and the restaurant is easy to find since it is on thecorner. Read more
Visited this restaurant on a Monday night after Zoo Lights. The restaurant was really nice and well lit. It was quite empty... considering it was prime dinner time (7:30pm), but I'm assuming most people are still getting take out / delivery. Being fromout of town, we didn't really have that option. Our server, Frank, was very attentive and did a great job explaining the menuand recommending drinks. Unfortunately they were out of a couple different things I attempted to order. The Matinee martini wasreally good. I small Caesar salad and chicken Parmesan, which was cooked really well and was crispy and tender at the sametime. We also couldn't decide on a dessert, so we ended up with 4 of them. My favorites were the lemon tart And the Italiancookie gelato. Read more
We had a wonderful evening at Petterino’s. We had a reservation for 5 at 9:15PM on a Friday evening. The restaurant was still... packed. Our service was great. Our server was helpful with the menu and picking out a wine. Our group ordered many differentthings from the menu and all was above par. I had the Lake Superior Whitefish and was it delicious! Will definitely be keepingthis place on our list of where to go while downtown. Read more
Old Italian Chicago style restaurant. The food was excellent, great flavor and filling portion. We ordered fish of the day... (Mediterranean sea bass) and chicken limone. Service was average. Kitchen was a bit slow (for chicken and fish), pastas saladsand soups seem to come out quicker. Price range: 20$ to 50$ Read more
