Italian eatery serving house-baked bread, fresh pasta & entrees


























"I enjoyed a transition from high-end Japanese-Italian to a more casual Italian format featuring dishes such as ricotta ravioli, charred octopus and veal chop parmigiano." - Brenna Houck

"After collaborator Takashi Yagihashi moved on and following a pivot to carryout during the novel coronavirus pandemic, I note that the high-end Japanese-Italian restaurant Pernoi is transitioning into a casual Italian restaurant called Casa Pernoi; owner Luciano Del Signore is reopening the rebranded restaurant for dine-in service on Tuesday, June 16, with menu options that include ricotta ravioli, charred octopus, and veal chop parmigiano." - Brenna Houck

"A high-end collaborative restaurant featuring globally influenced tasting-menu dishes such as rabbit agnolotti, tuna sashimi, Jerusalem artichoke soup, and Moroccan-glazed squab from noted chefs." - Brenna Houck

"I initially balked at the $75 price tag for the Osetra Caviar, but the dish set the tone for an excellent meal at Pernoi." - Brenna Houck

"A three-month-old joint-venture restaurant created with chef Luciano DelSignore is losing one of its high-profile partners because the commute between Chicago and Birmingham proved unsustainable. The departing chef, who previously relinquished a stake in an Ann Arbor ramen and sushi concept, had returned to Southeast Michigan with this project but will finish his time at the restaurant through the holidays before severing ties." - Brenna Houck
