Petrillo's - Freeport

Every holiday season, our family travels to Freeport to shop and enjoy a meal together. After reading Yelp reviews, we decided to make a reservation for lunch. When we arrived, the restaurant was mostly empty, possibly due to the rainy weather. The waitstaff was friendly and seated us promptly. We placed our drink and appetizer orders, then gave our main orders. It seemed like the waitstaff was short-staffed as they were also covering the bar. Our drinks arrived without glasses for our beers, and the appetizers were not up to par. The bruschetta and spinach dip were barely toasted. Our meals were served with surprisingly small portions, and the overall flavor was bland. One of our guests had to add salt to her risotto, accidentally spilling salt all over her plate. When the waitstaff checked on us, we explained the issue but declined a replacement plate. Only half of the dish was taken off the bill, which left us feeling unsatisfied. Despite spending over $200, we left hungry and disappointed. While we understand the challenges of managing staffing levels during slow periods, we do not feel that we received a quality dining experience.

I made a reservation for a large group (10 people) for lunch after a family event. The waitress was great, she took care of all of us, including two kids. The menu had a nice variety for adults and kids and everything tasted great. We were able to bring a special cake with us to serve after lunch. I would definitely recommend Petrillo's and will be back again myself!

We came for a family get-together. Everything was fantastic. Drinks made to order, local draft beer and what I assume is homemade lemoncello. The group had mostly pasta dishes which arrived quickly and the pasta was al dente and not mushy. All in all a great experience.

Food was great and accommodated big party and Gluten Free needs!

I was extremely disappointed with the food quality at this restaurant. Although the service was excellent, the food was subpar. Additionally, the portion sizes were very small considering the price.
