Reviews Petrini's Italian Restaurant

Amazing place, food is delicious it comes in two courses. I loved the soup and the best of all the prices are very affordable compared to other restaurants around. I strongly recommend.

The food and service were both excellent! In my experience restaurants can be very hit-or-miss when it comes to alfredo sauce, and Petrini's was definitely a hit. The Caesar salad and white wine were also delicious. My server was super friendly and didn't rush me at all, even though I got there only about an hour before they closed. Highly recommend!

Lasagna with meat sauce is the way to go, try it out. You will not be disappointed, I walked into this restaurant many years ago.I keep coming back for more. My family had Shrimp Scampi, Pepperoni Pizza and Hamburger Panini with chips.

Exceptional food and service! In my dining experiences, Alfredo sauce can be a hit-or-miss, and at Petrini's, it was undoubtedly a hit. The Caesar salad and white wine complemented the meal perfectly. Despite arriving only an hour before closing, my server was incredibly friendly and unhurried. I highly recommend Petrini's!

I placed my order online for delivery by a service. Chicken parm with penne, meatballs, sausage, seasonal vegetables, and Italian wedding soup. I'm not from the area and usually dine out at higher-end or ethnic cuisines when I visit San Diego as the latter are not really found back home in rural Mississippi. Experience had me expecting a half-step above luke-warm cardboard with sour canned tomatoes. I was delighted when I opened the veggies to find broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini steamed and seasoned to perfection - not unrecognizable goop swimming in liquid margarine (albeit none are seasonal on the summer). The pasta was just the right al dente and salt level. Tasty sweet Italian sausage that had me picking a little fennel seed out from between my teeth - covered in a well seasoned meat sauce. The meatballs taste to be both beef and veal, are the right texture (not the density of lead nor mush), and served up in the same meat sauce. The chicken parmesan was pounded and breaded, tastes as if it were cooked up in a pan instead of the deep fryer (butter flavor was a bit much for me but the dish wasn't spoiled by it), and a very healthy portion. Just very pleasantly surprised - made my evening in very nice after several very long days of work and travel. Don't expect Lupa of NY or La Matriciana of Rome, fussy primi and secondi courses, but great belly pleasing food at very reasonable prices (for San Diego). Bravo! As for photos, well, I didn't think to take any until I was stuffed, nodding off, and thinking that Petrini's earned a solid shout-out from this happy customer. Leftovers anyone???

Amazing restaurant in little Italy, went here with my dad and the atmosphere was great, a little expensive, but fine for two people. Not a place for little kids. Def order the entree plate, I don't even like raw tomatoes, but I was in heaven eating that.

Great food! We ordered veal parmesan, cheese ravioli, and the eggplant. It was all delicious. They service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and got everything very quickly. We sat outside and it was a nice little spot.
