We love eating at Pero's! And the specials are great! Your special are so great, that we would love seeing them (or some specials Fri-Sun). - 04/18/2012 @ Pero's on the Hill
Thanks for the freshness of the food you server. We can tell that you make food to order. - 04/18/2012 @ Pero's on the Hill
Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food choices and was helpful in making suggestions on what to order. We tried sitting on the patio but it was a little cool so we relunctanly returned to the back sitting area. The patio was lovely but we enjoyed sitting near the bar area as well. Great ambiance and interior design! - 04/11/2012 @ Pero's on the Hill
WHY EAT LOCAL?
Local, independently operated restaurants provide the soul and distinctive flavors of food that help define a sense of place. We create unique menu items that are original to Knoxville.
The restaurant business is our passion. Our restaurants vary from white tablecloth and upscale casual to sandwich shops and pizza parlors. We live our business, breathe it, work in it and play in it. We love the art of presentation and the look of surprise on your face when our plates come to your table. We strive for perfection in every recipe, every dish and every table setting. We feel it's our duty to support sustainable agriculture and incorporate the freshest local ingredients into our offerings.
The next time someone asks you "where should we eat?", consider this: Independent restaurateurs are a vital part of every community. They live and work in your neighborhood and strive to make a difference through contributions of time, jobs and financial support. They expose our families to unique cultures through the art of food and help to make Knoxville a great place to live and work. You don't have to look far or drive out of your way to find them, you just have to think about them and answer "someplace local!"
