As you can see here http://www.gens.labo.net/en/cognomi/gen ... =PETTINATO the surname is present in many parts of Italy.

If you can tell us when your grandfather was born and approximately when he arrived in the US, we may be able to locate a passenger manifest or other document which states his birthplace.

Also, where (what state) did he reside in the US?

This is an old thread, I realize, but we must be related. My ancestor, Salvatore Pettinato, was born in Carlopoli as well. He came to this country in.. 1908 or 1912, I believe.
