Lively Italian spot near Cirque Royal for generous pasta and solid Neapolitan-style pizzas; value is fair, but service warmth and consistency can vary.
Per Bacco delivers solid food quality with authentic Italian staples and premium ingredients—carbonara with guanciale, Agerola mozzarella pizzas, and reliable tiramisu earn consistent praise. However, inconsistent execution on pasta doneness and pizza bake during busy service prevents a higher grade, and service warmth varies at peak times. The cozy interior with wood oven charm and convenient pre-show location make it a solid neighborhood choice, though not a destination in its own right.
A cozy Italian corner near Cirque Royal where the room turns warm and bustling before showtime. Servers often switch between Italian and English, and more than a few guests rave about the first bite of pizza offered while you read the menu. One diner summed it up: friendly service with hearty plates, though peak-hour energy can feel a touch chaotic. The cooking leans classic with premium touches: guanciale in carbonara, Agerola mozzarella on pizzas, and seasonal freshly shaved truffle when available. Pastas come in generous portions and the tiramisu is a consistent crowd-pleaser. Most visits are satisfying, but a minority report off-nights—an over-baked pie here, a dry carbonara there—so expectations should target elevated traditional rather than culinary fireworks. Families do well here thanks to familiar favorites like Margherita pizza, penne ai 4 formaggi, and tiramisu. There is a vegan Marinara and several vegetarian options, but no dedicated kids menu. Sidewalk seating sits close to traffic, so inside tables are better for younger diners.
