Pettirosso is THE BEST! The owners are super nice women too. I love everything on their menu. Their desserts are exquisite, and the breakfast grilled cheese with caramelized onions is to die for! So buttery! It even travels well to-go.

Overall my experience at Pettitrosso was very enjoyable. I had a grapefruit mimosa, perfectly balanced, in an appropriately gigantic wine glass which made me feel very fancy. My husband ordered the "Bartender's Breakfast" cocktail, a delicious concoction of cold brew and alcohol topped with an orange peel twist. The flavor on its own is fantastic, and the garnish adds an interesting citrus aromatic that I didn't initially thing would mesh with a creamy, coffee cocktail. We also ordered a couple shareables, a jalapeno cheddar scone and a bruleed grapefruit. The scone was good, though I would have gone for more jalapeno- overall decent flavor but lacking any standout punchiness. The bruleed grapefruit was good, though the brulee didn't add much except aesthetic. I did particularly appreciate the little touch of serving it with a grapefruit spoon! For the main meal I ordered the croque madame, which I had mixed feelings about. For one, it's an open-faced sandwich on baguette bread, which presented challenges with actually cutting into it. I'm also just not a big fan of open-faced sandwiches in general. They also replaced the traditional ham on a croque madame with turkey, and I couldn't help thinking while I was eating how much better it would be with ham. The turkey was somehow overpowering of other flavors and underwhelming. The baguette bread was delicious, as was the gruyere cheesiness with perfectly cooked eggs on top. It's unfortunate I couldn't quite get past the turkey and strange serving method to fully enjoy the meal. Overall my impression is that it's a solid brunch restaurant with variations on traditional themes, with some working together better than others.

Tasty brunch albeit with small portions. We stopped by for a brunch on a Saturdau and we had about a 15 minute wait. We ordered coffee, two servings of grilled cheese/tomato soup($20 each). It was good, but the portion of tomato soup was rather small. A member of our party ordered duck confit and they enjoyed it. Overall, nothing remarkable but a solid choice for a casual brunch if you aren't terribly hungry.
