Perso means “lost” in Italian. When I used to live in Rome, I would intentionally get lost in the middle of the city to learn my way around. Perso features a rotating seasonal menu, house made charcuteries and cheeses, and craft cocktails.

We get lost in the search for our professional goals and happiness. This city has given me the most joy doing what I love. 

As entrepreneurs/dreamers we all seek for a place, take risks, and hope things work out. I chose to move here for the opportunities available. When we opened, its purpose was to be a business where we could showcase things we believe in, and work hard to make it operational so that we can work on other things, and eventually become the restaurant group we want to be. We want to grow in this city. 

Choosing the place where you start a new journey is always uncertain. You never know how the people will react to your mission, if people will even like or support your ideas. We’ll never be grateful enough for the love and support this city has given us. It has given us a lot of understanding of what or who we want to be. The city has given us drive to do better, and appreciation for all the people who made us who we are as operators.

Perso has become a place where we tell our stories. It’s more than just a business for all of us. Its where we learn from listening to our patrons and recognizing what we have to improve. Perso will be continuing this commitment, to work hard, and to never stop educating ourselves, to be able to be part of this gastronomically growing city. 

Perso represents a mission to share our experiences and beliefs.
