Food was amazing. Everything is cooked to order and with fresh ingredients, this food is not frozen and heated. Kayla was our waitress and she was phenomenal. The restaurant has limited seating but worth the wait. Loved the place will return often.

Petrella’s is a smaller place and had a little wait. The wait was worth it. The bread they had was cooked great, soft and crispy edges. Ordered the boom boom shrimp and it had great flavor. The meat lovers thin crust was cooked good. Crunchy...Read More

Small place, food is excellent but don’t go during your lunch hour. The service was good but took a long time to get our drinks and food. The food was worth the wait so next time I’ll during dinner.

My family and I just left and I couldn't wait to leave a review! Petrella's blew every expectation we had out of the water. So good. Got the crab cakes, stuffed grouper, fried flounder, chicken rigatoni, lasagna, and tuxedo cake. Everything was amazing, down to...Read More

This place was delicious to say the least. If your goal is to be full when you leave this place goes above and beyond. The cheese sticks were amazing. My chicken alfredo was so good. A bit in the oily side but i would not...Read More

Authentic Italian fare. So impressed with the service. This place is a well-oiled machine. Portion sizes are admirable, we eat our fill and still take home a box. We gave a 25% tip-- that's how good the service was!!

Excellent service, enjoyable atmosphere, delicious food! My husband and I came on a Monday evening. With a wait time of 20-25 minutes, we were seated comfortably in a nicely decorated booth. Our server (Kelly) was on point with refilling our drinks, taking our orders and...Read More

Food is fabulous, and the atmosphere is always great. Just be ready to wait on occasions, it's worth it. They have AYCE specials on Monday( spaghetti & meatballs) and Wednesday (lasagna) nights for 9.99 that can't be beat!

We dine in here often and order take-out as well. Food is always really good! Between me and my husband we’ve had many different dishes there and are always pleased. This is a little hidden gem! Staff are always very attentive and friendly.

Had two orders on calamari. Boy was it GOOD!!!! Last time (6 months ago) it had more peppers than squid, but this time very few peppers and lots of squid cooked to perfection. Always a pleasant place to eat or take out.
