He spent the first part of the 2010–11 season on loan to Serie B club Siena, but he didn't find any occasion to play so in January 2011 he came back to Roma, where he trained with the first team.
In July 2011 he was sent on loan to Serie B club Crotone for the 2011–12 season. On 17 September 2011 he scored his first league goal in the home match won 2–1 against Empoli.

He played in 6 matches before being sent to Serie B club Ternana on loan in January 2017. He was a key figure in Ternana's team that managed to avoid relegation to Serie C.
Pettinari came back to Pescara at the start of the 2017–18 Serie B season and immediately gained a place in the starting line up. He scored 13 goals in 38 appearances in the Serie B and 1 goal in 2 appearances in the Coppa Italia.
