Petralunga - North Bay Village

The restaurant has a charming ambiance, and I think they need to do a better job marketing themselves. The Aperol Spritz helped maintain a good atmosphere, but I was disappointed when I tried the octopus—it was overly chewy and fatty, making it inedible. This was surprising since it was labeled as the chef's signature dish. I regretted not opting for a pasta or pizza instead. Overall, it was a mixed experience for me. I might return in the evening to see if the vibe is better during a drink special when the place is livelier.

We made a reservation through OpenTable for 6 PM. There's a garage next to the restaurant with limited reserved parking spaces, but fortunately, we were able to find one without any issues. The restaurant is located at the back near the water. We visited on a Wednesday night when they offer an unlimited lychee martini special for ladies. The duration of this special is based on the size of the party; since it was just the two of us, I was allowed an hour and a half to enjoy it. The waitress was attentive and frequently checked in to see if we wanted another refill. As for the food, we tried the meatballs (4/5), lobster ravioli (3.5/5), and the truffle pasta with chicken (4/5), which I highly recommend.

Petralunga offers a culinary experience that is both unforgettable and enchanting. The flavors of the dishes are exceptional, and the atmosphere elevates the overall experience. Each bite is a treat for the senses, and the ambiance brings a special magic to the meal.

Second time coming here and everything was very delicious! Ordered several appetizers still made room for pizza pasta. Great service a beautiful view! Came on a Friday night, made reservations just in case it was still tranquil.

Girls night! Came to check out this restaurant on a Wednesday night for their lady's night Lychee Martini. The service and atmosphere were great. The food, not so much. Everything came nicely plated, great presentation so we were excited to try. The meatballs were dry and served warm, not hot. The Cacio E Pepe had no flavor. My friends lobster ravioli was actually pretty good. The flan had a spongy texture, nothing at all like regular flan.
