“My companion and I have some time to spend here in Chicago have we discovered Petterinos. The food is excellent. Did the house bread is fresh and delicious. The Caesar salad, excellent. My companion says that the Calabrese Shrimp has the best marinara sauce he's ever had. We loved the comfortable outside seating.”

“Wow! This place was so cute! What a perfect little spot to grab something quick to go - and with great service. Everything packed in nice containers with enough silverware and napkins. We were able to sit down and enjoy at one of the three tables outside, but it would have been delicious at home too. We got the Italian and caprese sandwich and the chopped salad which was an A+. The chocolate donut was bigger than my head and delicious! Coffee and tea were also very enjoyable. Must stop by for a quick bite to go!”

“Visiting from out of town and stopped by this adorable little place. It's right next to (on the side of Petterinos resturant). The place is small inside with the counter to order from and right out front there are a couple of places to sit. The woman working there was lovely, so friendly and really hooked me up with the pastries! The brownie was fantastic, perfectly moist and rich melt in your mouth fudgey flavor. The ricotta berry cake (I think that's what it was called) was a recommendation by the staff and fantastic- great flavor of berries, moist and dense and not too sweet. The lemon loaf was ok, but was too dry for my tastes. I can only speak for the pastries, but their other menu items also looked good. Definitely recommend checking out.”
