Floor Manager

About Petterino's

For 25 years, Petterino's has been at the very heart of Chicago's Loop and Theatre District. More than just a place to dine, it's where the city comes to see and be seen — from live jazz on Monday nights to Dennis Watkins' Magic Parlour in our lower level, and the Booth 46 podcast recorded live in our dining room.

Our walls tell stories, lined with caricatures of politicians, celebrities, and influential Chicagoans who have dined with us over the years. Enjoy fresh Italian fare alongside American classics, handcrafted cocktails, and our signature peppermint ice cream — served year round.

Petterino's isn’t just in the heart of the Loop, it is the heart of the Loop.
