Overall good, but the day that we went, it was raining and it was a little cold inside, especially since we were sitting by the door. The chef table experience was excellent. Some of the best food we have ever ever had in Louisville. Continue that!
The food was amazing as always! Love the chefs table family style! BUT the highlight of our dining experience this time was our server Marla! She was attentive and made our anniversary celebration that much more memorable. Thank you!

Perso is my first recommendation to anyone looking for a place to eat in Louisville. At least once a season, I make sure to stop by and try the new items on their menu. I have taken friends, family, and coworkers here and everyone has been impressed. Even if the ingredients listed for a dish are not foods I traditionally gravitate towards, I am always impressed by Chef Emil’s intentionality, creativity, and skill in putting together an amazing dish and I have never ordered something here that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. They are good at navigating dietary restrictions and their cocktail menu is fantastic too.

I had the opportunity to try Perso during 502 Restaurant Week and I was so glad I did. From the moment I was seated to the impeccable attention I received from wait staff was great. The restaurant was very cozy, lively, and inviting. I had the branzino dish made with European Sea bass which was cooked to perfection and a favorite dish of mine. I also appreciated the wine suggestion that I enjoyed along with my dinner of Sauvignon Blanc crisp and refreshing. I would highly recommend a visit to Perso for date night or time spent with friends and/or family. I highly recommend you visit Perso if in the Louisville area.

We returned to Perso inspired by Resturant Week fixed-price offer...and memories of previous dining experiences. The table for two in kitchen area was perfect! Truly felt like we were dining in Italy. Staff are awesome...and food is creatively constructed and so tasty.

From the exceptional staff to the cocktails, starters & entrees. Everything is always elevated! Chef David & crew are amazing & provide a culinary experience rivaled in Louisville which is no easy feat due to the ever growing food scene. We appreciate it all! Can't wait to return again! Janice & Barry PS Jennifer is & was over the top w/service as were her colleagues.

Horrid "food" that we spent the rest of the night laughing about. The "seabass" was a sliver, paper thin and so full of bones, its a wonder we didn't choke. The side was inedible with a weird flavor. The "beef" must've been the last option in the kitchen, big bone and grisly, tough meat. The place itself and the staff are lovely. Unfortunately, the food was vile.
Fantastic date spot. Food was incredible. We happened to have our reservation at 8pm as a snow front was moving through, we were sat by the window and it made for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back.
Food was overpriced and our meal was sub par at best. The tables were too close and to get up you had to bump the person behind you. We were very disappointed. The only positive was the server was pleasant.

Very creative menu that is unlike any other in this area. The presentation is outstanding and the flavors are bold. There is a very upbeat ambiance that has a positive feel. The server was great and she was very knowledgeable . Look forward to coming back soon!!
This was my third visit to Perso. It was a Tuesday night and there only 2 other tables occupied. Our service was fabulous! My only complaint was the Chefs choice dessert with the meal. I know Perso has wonderful desserts. This evening, however, I received a cookie and a squirt of whipped cream. The cookie was boring, honestly. I was just surprised given the other options on the menu.

My all time favorite restaurant in all of Louisville. Not that it matters but I'm a chef and hard to 100% please. Truly a delightful place with phenomenal food. I recommend the Chefs tasting (coursed meal). I was almost in tears with how delicious the food was. Served tapas and family style. Love. Love. Love this place. Cocktails are phenomenal as well.Dietary restrictions: Let your server know your allergies and dietary restrictions

Everyone working there was helpful and friendly. The food and cocktails were amazing. We shared an assortment of charcuterie and appetizers and left satisfied. Will definitely return.
Perso is a cute restaurant with a plentiful menu and many Italian options. The noise level was not too loud, but not too quiet, and would be perfect for a small group celebrating a special occasion. I dined solo, and got the delicata squash prepared vegan. I am not vegan but am lactose intolerant, so I prefer to avoid dairy as much as possible and was excited to try this vegan offering. Unfortunately, the squash was far too spicy for my taste. The non-vegan dish does not have cheese, which would help dull the spicy flavor, but the amount of spice on my squash was simply overwhelming. Otherwise, the decor was beautiful with the perfect mood lighting. The service was also amazing, and my server was very polite and welcoming. I would come back, but I next time try another dish or ask for less spice if I ordered the delicata squash again.
