What John O doesn't like about Petrella's Italian Cafe:
We got here a half an hour after they opened and it was already packed. Staff here are very friendly. Food portions are very large and hearty. We did the fried raviolis first and they were hot and crisp and with a little Parmesan and pepper flakes they very tasty. The wife had the pasta with white sauce and shrimp. Really good dish. I had the baked rigatoni with sausage, lots of sausage and the right amount of sauce.... View all feedback. What Faith Sheedy likes about Petrella's Italian Cafe:
I really wanted Italian one night and decided to try out a local place, and it was the best decision I made during my stay in Pensacola. Some of the best food I've ever had. I struggled to pick an item off the menu every time since everything was so good. I would highly recommend their spinach dip and ANY soup. My husband and I tried 5 different soups they had, and none of them disappointed us. If I'm ever in Pensaco... View all feedback.

Superb and professional service and delicious pasta we enjoyed for dinner!!

Experience the true taste of Italy at Petrella's, where the portions are large and hearty, and the food is simply delicious. From the perfectly fried raviolis to the mouth-watering pasta dishes like baked rigatoni with sausage and pasta with white sauce and shrimp, every bite is a treat. The service is friendly and attentive, making your dining experience even more enjoyable. Don't miss the chance to indulge in their homemade pizza, eggplant parm sub, fettuccine Alfredo, and classic spaghetti with meat sauce. With generous portions and unbeatable flavors, Petrella's is a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine.

I'm a bit confused to be honest over the hype of this restaurant It's not bad at all, large portions but I don't feel it's special.
