Perche' No - Tucson, Arizona

Bill S.

All of our food was delicious. Great salads and bread. The penne mango was yummy as was the lobster bisque with large chunks of lobster. We highly recommend the chocolate mousse: smooth and not too sweet topped with a generous portion of whipped cream. Reservations are recommended for dinner. We’ll definitely return for other dinner options.

🍽️✨ Birthday Celebrations at Perche No! ✨🎉
A few days ago, we celebrated not one, but *two* birthdays at the charming Perche No! This quaint restaurant boasts beautiful decor, but the cozy tables can make it a little crowded. While acoustic challenges made it tough to hear each other (Note to future visitors: prepare to repeat yourselves! 😅), the food more than made up for it!
🌟 The Highlights:
- Appetizer: The Bruschetta was pure heaven - a must-try! 🤤
- Fried Oysters: Unfortunately, a bit overcooked for our liking.
- Sea Bass: Absolutely delicious, a definite winner! 🎣
- Penne Positano: While it lacked the spicy kick we expected, the sauce was absolutely terrific! 🍝
- Spaghetti di Mare: My husband couldn't get enough of this dish! 🍤
- Caprese Sandwich: Our friend raved about it – the bread and mozzarella stole the show! ⛵️
Overall, it was a wonderful meal filled with laughter and good company. And here’s a little tip: definitely ask for a glass of 101 North Pinot Grigio to complement your feast! 🍷✨

This charming little bistro serves some of the best Italian food in all of Tucson. I’ve been for both a casual lunch and a romantic date night, and one thing I love about this place is that it’s simple and unfussy, yet warm and intimate. Although it is a smaller place, it doesn’t feel cramped at all. With that being said, it fills up quickly, so reservations are recommended. As others have mentioned, acoustics aren’t the best, but even with a nearly-full house it isn’t unbearably loud.

The food is truly delightful. It has the comfort and mastery of traditional Nonna cooking, but with bold, sometimes unexpected flavors and elevated presentation. Everything I’ve had has been delicious, but the Asiago crusted sea bass filet was outstanding. When I read that it was served with sweet chili sauce and tomatoes over a bed of linguine alfredo and grilled asparagus, I was dubious if the flavors would work together. Now I know in Chef Bruno we trust - this man knows what he is doing! The short rib tortellacci was also so, so good. Rich and complex with a great mouthfeel. Don’t sleep on their desserts, either. It nearly put me into a coma but the Mascarpone Limoncello cake was the perfect way to end the meal.

Service was impeccable. Every person we encountered was friendly and our server, Makinzie, was wonderful. Drinks were always full, food arrived quickly, and dishes were bussed promptly but we never felt rushed. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food, service and overall experience.

I highly recommend Perche’ No and I look forward to seeing what delicious specials they come up with next!

Great food, great service. The place was nice but I have to dock a point because there was a fairly bad smell that almost made us leave.
The food and service made up for the weird smell for the most part but I have to point it out

Tried the gin berry smash (but substituted vodka because I do not like gin) and raspberry cheesecake. Legitimately decadent and delicious. Wonderful atmosphere and pleasant service. No criticisms available at this time, minus difficulty finding parking, which is not this restaurant’s fault. I want to come here again.

Makenzie and the bartender are exceptional employees. Relaxing and prompt service was enjoyed :).

Great Italian food. Large pasta portions with plenty to share for 2. We had a nice time, but the acoustics are a little weird. We heard everyone's conversations. It's not a huge place. Metered street parking is all we saw. I recommend the goat cheese bruschetta and chicken parm.

We took a chance as a walk-in on a Friday evening and even being super busy with reservations full, were sat at a beautiful table. The food was beyond delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful, and prompt. I got the lobster gnocchi, I can't believe the amount of lobster in this dish!!! We walked away knowing we had the best Italian meal to date in Tucson! We will absolutely be returning and trying the other amazing dishes soon.

This was our first time here and it was a great experience. We came for lunch and our server, Emma, was very courteous and friendly. She recommended dishes and checked on us regularly. I had the Pollo Parmigiano and my wife had the Gnocchi with Lobster and both dishes were perfect. For dessert we had Limoncello cake, which was amazing! We will definitely be coming back.
