“ We went back today for dinner. Our server Keri was amazing and our Caesar salads and Shrimp and Crab Manicotti was delicious. There was plenty to share and we enjoyed it so much. And the prices are very reasonable. This place is a perfect spot for a date or meeting friends for a great meal !! You have got to try this place !!! ”
“ We were passing through the area around lunch time, and found this wonderful gem. Hubby had the Chicken Parm (his go-to) while I had the baked spaghetti. Both lunch entrées were generous portions and served with choice of soup or salad. Food was "spot on"and the service was excellent. I'm very jealous we don't have a location or something similar in our area. You owe yourself to give this place a try ”
“ Stopped in for a late Lunch. Service was very good super fast ordered a lunch and had a salad in two minutes. Ambiance is ok it is a strip mall next to Publix and Philly Cheesesteak. So the side salad was fresh and good. WOW The restaurant has been here 24 years!! We tried two different dishes: Chicken Alfredo The chicken was cooked very good, the sauce was creamy. The Pasta Rustic was also very good and you get a side of bread. Great Food Great Service ”
“ Petrella's is so amazing ! Wish the building was bigger because I think they have outgrown their space . But that just shows you how amazing they are because they are always Booming I always like to go here when I am looking to get a good spaghetti or lasagna and you can't go wrong with Lasagna Wednesday's . I also enjoy their house salad or Greek salad and their broccoli soup is DELICIOUS ! Oh and don't forget their appetizer: Fried Mushrooms are delicious We always receive good service from anyone in the establishment. ”
“ Picked up dinner this past weekend for my husband and I. We ordered the combo plate with chicken Parmesan, Italian sausage and spaghetti with meat sauce along with the chicken fettuccini Alfredo. With our meals, we got a minestrone soup and salad with ranch dressing. All of the food was super hot and fresh, the flavor was great. I feel like the portions have gotten slightly smaller but maybe it was an off day. ”
“ Amazing food, quick & friendly staff . The best Italian food I've had in Pensacola. Large portions enough for two to share & be full. Worth every dollar spent, inside dining or to go options either way the food is great! ”
