Hidden Gem in Rice Military – We went there with family to celebrate the birth of my child! He was only two weeks old and the helpful staff found us a table out of drafts and in the quietest corner of the restaurant.

Then we had a family sized salad where most of the ingredients came from the restaurant's own garden! The specials all sounded so mouthwatering we all had to discuss what we were each getting so we coul... read more

Try the pistachio gelato! – Ditto the other great 5-star comments. Try their homemade pistachio gelato for dessert. It really is out of this world!

Absolutely Incredible! – Although not in the best of neighborhoods, Patrenella's serves delicious Italian favorites with (literally) a wonderful homey atmosphere. You dine in the rooms of the owner's home, surrounded by pictures of locals and family. The service is top-notch- first time customers are treated as welcome friends. Be sure to check out the new bar in the back of the building and beautiful garden.

Entrée selections include veal dishes, chicken, sautéed shrimp and hearty salads. Pastas gravitate toward classics like lasag... read more

My favorite place for Italian! – This wonderful, family owned, restauant is one of my family's favorite places for dinner. Birthdays, anniversarys, coming home parties - you name it, and we've celebrated it with the Petranella family. Chef Andre' is one of the best in the city - he'll make you anything you want. Chicken Marsala is one of my favorites. Try it - you won't be disappointed.

Great food – A small cozy atmosphere with great food and nice people. You can order off the menu if you would like but, we suggest you order from the board at the entrance to the resteraunt. That is where the fun stuff is located. If you don't see anything you like or if you want to try someting, just ask the chef, he will cook whatever you would like. Be happy to do it. And it will be great. A great place
