"Petterino’s, the Loop restaurant that evokes a bygone age of theatergoing, with its red leather booths and walls covered with caricatures of celebrities who dined there over the years, reopened last week after an 18-month pandemic hiatus, with a new owner, new chef, and an interior restoration. The menu has also been revamped. Chef Ozzy Amelotti, who cooked at downtown mainstay Italian Village, has upgraded classic dishes. The restaurant now features a new U-shaped bar, a 'nano wall', a new wooden floor, and a tin ceiling. The basement has been converted into a small theater by Windy City Playhouse." - aimee.levitt
