“ This place is a GEM. One of the cutest eateries I've been to this year. We had to wait for a table. There are only 8-10 tables total, but we waited for only 5 minutes. Our waitress was a hoot. Just a good ole gal who was quick with a punch line. Under her recommendation I got the chicken Parm with the made in house noodles. Stop reading here and get it. Just do yourself a favor and pay the three dollar upcharge for the fresh noodles. The portions are HUGE. I think I saw something on the menu about how you can't split dishes. But this would leave you with a second meal to take home. Which I did and I loved it for dinner that night. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this wonderful place to grab some very authentic food! ”
“ One of my absolute favorite places to eat for both dine in and take out! Always a wonderful experience. Highly recommend the Chicken Marsala (pictured) and the Chicken Parm. Their fresh hand made pasta is to die for. ”
“ Quality food with an excellent selection of meals. Wait staff was very friendly and very accommodating. The fried calamari was the best I’ve ever had The veal Parmesan was outstanding ”
“ This was the best Italian food I've ever had hands down! Excellent food at an excellent price. Service was fantastic and the owner came and talked to us after we finished dinner. She works in the back and cooked my wife's risotto pescrtore to perfection. We had the Chicken Permigiano, the Risotto Pescetore, the Fig Marscapone, Creme brulee, and a glass of Perseco Rose each. Will be going back to this place again very very soon. ”
“ Heard about their Wednesday special Steak Bombs and just HAD to try it. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The sub was absolutely out of this world!! Tender steak, gooey cheese, flavorful veggies and soft chewy bread. Can’t wait to try more of this place! ”
“ First time at Petrillo's. Outstanding home-cooked flavors and atmosphere. The baked clams were the best I've ever had. The pastas were uniformly excellent and the sauces are perfectly seasoned. Sauteed chicken was light, tender with a delicate and flavorful crispness. The portions are really large. Very welcoming g staff. ”
“ A friend of my mother's has been recommending Petrillo's to her for years. We finally tried a take-out order and we are so glad we did! Huge portions and absolutely delicious. Calamari is a standout, but everything was awesome. Definitely recommend and will be back. ”
