Meh - Decent food, stinky chef  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

The food was okay. Got attacked by bees on the patio. The Chef had the worse B.O. I've smelled in a while.

It's not the same as the Italian food I'm use to coming from the East Coast with many more Italian families.

A memorable dinner experience with great food and great service 5 Star Rating - World class

The other night we had the good fortune to Perche'No Pasta &Vino. We had very personable and good service and the food was absolutely wonderful. We let the chef choose the selection and we were not dissapointed.

We started with an antipasta selection or fresh olives, perfectly cooked portabella mushoom, artichoke hearts and marinated cucumber. We then proceed to wonderful and very large raviolis with wonderful flavor. Then 3 different kinds of beautifully tender and cooked meats...pork, beef steak and venison. Also a terrific mixed salad with a wonderful ceasar type dressing but very mild. Lastly was a selection of 3 types of desserts including a chocolate 'lasagna' in rasperry sauce that was a house original, also tiramasu and gelato

I think all in the party would recommend this restaurant to others who want a very special italian dinner. We will be back!

Our Family Fave! 5 Star Rating - World class

This establishment is our family's "special place". Want to get the family together for mass-birthdays? Perfect! Meet with friends you haven't seen in a while and enjoy the company, wine and food? Ideal!

The word "friendly" doesn't do justice to the feeling you get as a diner. Yes, it's noisy (when busy) and yes,
it's a tight fit (also when busy), but for great food and a good warm and fuzzy, Perche yes! My favorite is
the squid ink risotto and the chocolate lasagna is as tasty as it is beautiful.

Pros: Food and friendship
Cons: none

Low end Italian 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I second Dixie11's review. Four of us dined here this week, after a long hiatus from the time before when I decided to give the place a chance to improve. The service was....well.....back in the day when I was waiting tables, if I was that stone-faced and non-conversational I would have made no tips. The service seemed mostly canned. The kitchen very loud. The important thing is the the food was very so so and the experience just devoid of fun. As stated before, with all the restaurants to go to, why not spend your money someplace better? Once again, another disappointment.

Pros: not enough to return
Cons: don't have to drive downtown

Overall not a place I would recommend to anyone 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Just returned from dinner at this restaurant. Not quite sure what to say or where to start. .. it was like going to a bad italian restaurant in the old days - service was lazy and not an ounce of charm from the waiter. SImply dropped off the dishes with not the least of interest. Dirty tablecloth and a miss mash of dishes/cutlery on the table. The food was marginal at best, and there were 5 of us, so we has a good sampling.
Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone - especially nowadays when people have been
exposed to a certain degree of finesse in cooking - especially in italian dining.
With the cost of dining out these days, they have a long way to go to make anyone want to eat here.

Pros: can't think of any really

A Magical Meal 5 Star Rating - World class

We just can't say enough about the meal we had there last night. The service was prompt and friendly without being invasive. We were treated like family. The food was as good as anything we have had in Italy. The pasta was phenomenal, the risotto with squid ink was the best ever!! Everything was fresh and fabulous!!!!

Pros: Great food and service!!!!!!!! A++
Cons: none
