No dust or grime. Décor: Italian designs painted on the wall, it's cute. Atmosphere: It feels like a hole in the wall more than it does an Italian restaurant. Staff: I only ever saw my waiter when I visited, but he was nice and attentive. Location: Randomly off the road in between Pace and Milton, very quiet little part of town. Parking: Private lot with enough spaces for the little inside. Cuisine: It was delicious. The meats were cooked well and so was the pasta. The sauces were seasoned nicely. Presentation and creativity: There was no fancy garnish of basil or anything else, it was simply food on the plate. Overall, better than Olive Garden, but not as good as Carrabba's.

Upon ordering we received our food quickly. We started with the combo appetizer and calamari. The risotto bites with crab were fantastic, mozzarella sticks were exactly what I was expecting from an Italian spot. Fried raviolis were fine, the crab cakes were humongous and tasty, the only thing about the crab cakes is personally I feel they had too much filler in them, aside from that they were fantastic. The best calamari is Pensacola is located at Patrellas Italian Cafe. The perfect light batter is so crunchy and not over seasoned. The batter compliments the squid beautifully. And the sauce is incredible as well. I do want to highlight that the ratio of peppers to squid was perfect for me. I refuse calamari that has no tentacles. Petrella's has tentacles! If you come to this restaurant with intent of calamari you will not be let down. Entrees ordered were the 4 veal options with picatta,parm,scallopini, and with eggplant. All of these were fantastic not over breaded, moist, tender, and portion sizes of everything offered at the restaurant were beyond acceptable. The number one entree was the veal picatta served with beautiful Broccoli florets delicious mashed Potatoes and the cutlet on top drizzled with the picatta sauce. Phenomenal dish. The two soups and salads ordered we're Italian wedding and spinach and artichoke. The were above average but came out hot and complimented the meal. The salads were Greek and Caesar. Very good salads. The highlight of this visit was the service provided Melody I do believe the experience would not have been as good without her hospitality and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and never had a drink that was less than half empty. This is a very open aired restaurant with incredible staff and a very good kitchen crew. The price of the food here is very reasonable and portions are generous. I will be back to try another 4 entrees and will post again. If you're looking for a very good local Italian spot this is it. Great in house sauce and phenomenal calamari!

No one greeted us though three employees locked eyes with us and did not acknowledge us as we waited outside for 7 minutes. My brother finally went inside since it was our first time and we didn't know it there was a hostess stand inside or not- the employee inside was dismissive and said the hostess is taking a to go order right now and told us to wait in a demeaning manner. When inside we saw on their menu that they are slow and that they have a 3.99% credit card fee... wish they told us when I made the reservation so I could bring cash. They also wrote on the back of the menu. if you don't leave a tip with the server, 20% will be charged. We ordered appetizers and entrees- my mom and I wanted to share , there is a surcharge for sharing (our server graciously waived) The restaurant is small- just a handful of indoor tables but decent amount of seating outside; though fairly hot. Food was alright- but pricey even without protein. Nothing to write home about. Our waiter Logan was good, but overall not the best experience.

The pizzas she would always get a suppreme and it comes with sausage. She does not like the sausage they use which is the little balls. She would take it off the pizza. She was told by someone that if requested they would put sliced sausage on instead of the one they use. So we decided to go in. You have to order at the register, they don't wait on the tables. So we sat looking the menu over. Very limited to choices and the pizza menu very confusing on how much you pay for the pizza. You pick crust, sauce and cheese and any toppings which 14" would have been $20 something . Unless you pick a 14" and it's a set price. So asking the guy at the counter that my Mom don't like the sausage on the supreme he said " We can leave it off" Why would you pay for something if your not getting it? He said they only had link sausage for dinners not the pizza. The inside was very small dining area and very plain. We ended up deciding to leave since they don't do the link sausage only the ball one which my mom said is usually grizzly and not good . Would not recommend going here it's not authentic Italian food if that's what your looking for. You can not smell anything cooking which is not a good sign either. Usually you can smell garlic or something cooking.

Wine was excellent and so was the bread. We will be back.

The bread was very good and is probably top 5 as far as restaurants I have visited that offer complimentary bread. Insalata Mista - Good, nothing special or that sets it apart from other salad. The house dressing was good, leans more on the sweet side. Lasagna - The biggest portion of lasagna I have ever seen and ever received at a restaurant. The waitress said they call it the "Birthday Cake." Once it arrived at the table we understood why, it was almost the side of a birthday cake. The flavor was really good as well. It had a good amount of meat and cheese. It was not a lasagna that was made up of just noodle. Definitely worth ordering. If you're on a date or out with a friend, you could probably split the lasagna. Especially, if you order a salad , soup or appetizer. Spaghetti - It was good, nothing great but not bad either. If you like spaghetti & meatballs this will do the trick however, it won't blow your skirt up but you won't be upset either. Veal Piccata - Very good, I would order this if I went back. The veal cutlet was tender and contained crispy edges. The sauce was very good as well. The capers, lemon and wine were very well proportioned. Grilled Salmon - My Mother-in- Law ordered this and shared the following thoughts. Salmon was good however, the white bean salad that accompanied it was better. 7.5-8 out of 10 as far as the whole dish goes. Torta Savoia - Probably the worst thing we ordered. We all wanted chocolate, specifically chocolate cake. This really underwhelmed and did not satisfy the craving. The mood was a little gummy and didn't have that great of a mouth fill. Sometimes when mousse isn't made completely the correct way, gelatin will be used and occasionally overused. The cake itself wasn't that moist and the taste of chocolate really didn't hit you like it should have. Service - Our waitress was named Corrina. She was really sweet and very informative. Corrina was honest about the menu and suggestions. She was also very observant.

Food - several people call this food traditional Italian from Italy. I don't think so. After…read moreseveral visits there, no restaurant, trattoria or osteria would serve giant meatballs on top of the spaghetti . I'm not sure about the carbonara. There are two different ways to cook it truly Italian but no recipe that calls for cream or "peas" in it is Italian (The peas in the carbonara with crème fresh is a Gordon Ramsey variant while just using heavy cream is an American variation of this dish.) Now this is not to say their dishes aren't good, they are just not traditional Italian. My mother enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs. She actually had to take part of it home. My carbonara was satisfying and the sauce was not runny. In Italy, bread is not an appetizer. You should eat it alongside your main protein or vegetable courses, use it to push food onto your fork, or save it for fare la scarpetta--using a small piece to mop up the leftover sauce on your plate after eating your pasta. Where the bread with olive oil served on the side comes from, I have no clue. Perhaps other items on the menu will be more traditional. Service - the little girl that took our order appeared to be over whelmed. It took me ten minutes to get the check Ambiance- neat and clean.
