The look elsewhere review was right on. Went prior to Mary Poppins and this restaurant was mobbed. Guess they figure why bother with quality OR value with a ready made clientele. Our steak was seriously overcooked, and the meat itself of very low quality, chewy and tasteless, this at top dollar. Our meal was really nothing better than something you... more

We ate at Petterino's prior to seeing Rent at the Oriental (Ford) Theater. What a great evening! The atmosphere is elegant and "old Chicago" with dark wood, booths, and caricatures of famous people all over the walls. Our waiter was wonderful, with great suggestions for wine pairings for our meal. I had the wedge salad followed by the Filet Oscar--divine!... more

A fun place to eat if you are going to see a show in the theater district. They will valet your car and you can pick it up after the show which is convenient. more

This restaurant is centrally placed, so tempting if, like us, you are a bit disorientated after arriving on a longhaul. It looks smart and sophisticated, but while service was good, the food and wine were really disappointing. The wine (a $48 bottle) was corked (badly) and smelt of seawater and the food was substandard - woody, hard asparagus, tinned corn... more

This restaurant was a huge find in Chicago. After we saw Wicked, I made reservations at Petterinos based on their website reviews-and I was very pleased. It was located less than a 1 minute walk from the Oriental Ford Theatre where Wicked is playing. My resevations (on Easter Day) were timely, and the food was terrific! I will be back! more
