Petralunga

Petralunga restaurant was amazingly nice. From the fun decor to the outside patio along with the superb services from the staff! Everything was perfectly grand. I attended the restaurant for lunch and BOY! Was it a great time! Everything was 50% off including entrees and drinks up until 5pm! Krazy right! Definitely a great steal! I ordered the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, with a Brusklyn - 12’ pizza that had, tomato sauce, pepperoni, stracciatella cheese, garlic oil, hot honey, basil, spinach and parmesan flakes! Mouth watering good! Thin crust just how I love it, and crazy flavors that just complimented the pizza so well! For dessert, I tried their famous table side Tiramisù. Sweet goodness is what I recalled! Hahaah! Ridiculously stupid GOOOD! My waiter was awesome. Didn’t quite catch his

visited with high expectations but disappointed. food is not bad but also not impressive, it's good in a conventional way. pasta is great although pizza dough is pretty dry. branzino portion is pretty small considering the price. tiramisu is creative. overall very good environment and service, food could be better.

Petralunga was a disappointing experience overall. To start, the parking situation is truly awful, finding a spot feels like winning the lottery. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t justify the hassle. I’m not sure what’s driving the positive reviews, but in my experience the dishes were subpar and far from being a standout Italian option. There’s also a clear disconnect between quality and pricing; the price-to-quality ratio is simply off. Given the parking struggle, the food would need to be outstanding to make it worth it, and it just isn’t. I wouldn’t recommend it.

We drove through the area to try these restaurants we noticed, which are popular among Italian food fans. They recommended specific pastas and their pizza. It was quite a drive for me since I was in Doral and it was pouring rain, but it was definitely worth the trip. If you’re nearby, try the thin-crust pizza—it's worth it even if you’re not close by. You won't be disappointed, and you can also take a walk along the marina and enjoy a bit of North Bay Village.

Dinner was delicious. We started with the beef carpaccio (air-dried) and Nonna’s meatballs. For our entrees we ordered the table side pasta, two pizza pies and my daughter enjoyed her fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. It reminded us of the authentic pasta in Italy. Regina offered excellent service! We’ll be back to try the weekend lunch special.
