Welcome to Petrini's
Petrini's brothers began by selling pizzas in a little shop on a street corner in 1958. They grew their business to five restaurants over the course of 20 years. Tried and true, generations old, family recipes served in a family friendly environment were the basis of their successful businesses. In fact our house salad dressing is still made and bottled in the family’s traditional fashion and shipped out as needed. Ask your server for a bottle of this great dressing to go! Our restaurant takes the same approach to its menu and its environment as my mentors did but spins it with the twist of a new generation.
