Larger Margherita pizza- came out cold. Eggplant Parmesan - Surely didn't taste homemade. A very sad outcome for an experience we had looked forward to. We'll wait a bit before we come back. So many other consistently good choices for Italian food in Sputh Bend and Elkhart IN.

I am so sad to see what is happening here. This used to be my favorite place in Elkhart, but our…read morelast visit was so disappointing. All the things that made me fall in love with Per Bacco are gone. The roasted garlic and oil with delicious bread, the amazing house salad with candied nuts and strawberries, the goat cheese crostinis, the impeccable service and the reasonable prices. I know they don't cater to me, and I hope they have continued success, but we will probably not be visiting any more.

The homemade bread and the olive oil plate were both amazing! I would buy both of them for our…read morehome. Jake made great drinks for us. I had the tropical fruit mocktail that was very good. My husband quite enjoyed his Black Manhattan. They seemed to really know their wines and have a grand list to choose from. Jordan was our server. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. Helped us with the specials and the menu, since it was our first time dining with them. The meatball appetizer was a solid choice. Authentic Italian meatballs. The Chicken parmesan was a daily special item and the chicken melts in your mouth. Don't forget to ask for parmesan cheese for your entrees! My husband had the bolagnese and it was superb! The serving portions are generous. We brought home to-go boxes, each with at least enough food for another full meal. Sadly, no room for dessert this trip... The inside was warm and inviting. They do take reservations and if you like to dine at 6 p.m. or later, you may want to make a reservation. We walked in at 4 p.m. on a Friday, the first customers of their day. I prefer eating ahead of the crowds. You get to spend more time with the staff, you don't feel rushed and or guilty if you want to stay in your booth for a few extra minutes and just enjoy the experience. Per Bacco, "good heavens", it is a lovely place to enjoy a good meal. Don't forget to ask for more bread!! Oct. 2025

Fresh motzarella basil and tomatoes. I chose the Kalamata olive martini. It was very different but good. My friend had a basil lavender concoction which rated as expensive. The service was friendly but not intrusive. We sat on the sidewalk and it was fun being out and watching traffic and people. The only disappointment was the lack of gelato. Out server explained that it had come in damaged and so they decided not to serve it. Would recommend Venturi to anyone seeking a little different type of Italian goof

The beer arrived and that was the last contact we had with the bartender. She never came to take our order and after 15 minutes, we asked about our onion rings. She brought out 5 cold onion rings which cost $7.95 and still didn't offer to take our order. At that point, we left. They obviously didn't want our business. We will never return.
