While exploring a small shopping area just outside of Playacar we discovered this little gem. The service is excellent and the food is delicious and plentiful and you can’t beat the prices. Our favorite dish is Tagliatelle Alla Norcina which is homemade Tagliatelle in a Sausage, Porcini Mushroom and truffle cream sauce. (210 pesos/$11.25 usd) My husband tried Ravioli Braccio De Ferro which is ravioli in a spinach & ricotta cream sauce. It was delicious but he too prefers the Tagliatelle. So many delicious pasta dishes on the menu that we’d like to try but we always end up ordering the tagliatelle. We highly recommend Perche No if you are ever in Mexico near Playa Del Carmen.

We stopped for lunch after a long walk downtown playa del carmen.
The Cesar salad was crispy and well balanced and the pizza with a tin crust was delicious. The service was efficient and attentive they answered all our questions on the menu and offered us a chocolate with the bill. Eating in Mexique is cheap compared to our restaurants in Canada. No sales taxes good quality food at good price. We will be back.

What a fantastic place, it has got it all!
Delicious food (thin pizzas, homemade pasta rightly cooked “al dente” with tasty salsas, a real Italian tiramisu and my chocolate panna cotta was awesome), the right ingredients...Service by Aurelio was friendly, genuine and efficient. I requested a very unusual change on my pizza and in no time they accepted it and made it happen the perfect way. Owner is visible, in his restaurant checking on service, too rare to forget to mention it!
We will definitely come back! Forza Italia and indeed: perche no?!

Good food, horrible and rude owner - Christian, the “manager” would not honour our local discount, which we are entitled to as residents of Playa. He was rude, dismissive and an outright jackass. To come out of our way, in the middle of no where to eat at their restaurant a and be treated like we were... very disappointing. As an avid diner and foodie - I know my stuff. Never again. We used to come here all the time, but never again. The ones is undeserving of former regular patrons who were there to celebrate a birthday (but often came for just a regular dinner).

This is supposed to be an outhentic italien restaurant; however it is not.
Pizza is very good and probably one of the best in Playa del Carmen. However, we had Beringela al Parmesana followed by fish. The Beringela was average and not Italian style at all. The fish was bland, overcooked and smelled as at it came out of his element two weeks ago. Due to Covid we avoided the very crowded inside of the restaurant. The outside seating lacked charm all together. Eating at a strip mall close to a main thorough fare in a parking lot is not what we expected from a charming italian restaurant.

Outstanding Italian food and service. Ate here 3x in a row! I really cannot say enough good things about this fantastic Italian restaurant in Playa Del Carmen. Located in a very nice shopping center Xaman-Ha, and has a very European feel to it.
After our first dinner we fell in love with his place. Freshly made tagliatelle alla norcina, spaghetti with fresh crab, huge fresh salad, and very reasonably priced Italian wines made for a fantastic first dinner. Our second and third visits were even better! The pizza da Vinci and fresh shrimp Caesar were especially amazing, as well as spaghetti with clams and casarrece pasta with broccoli and ham. Eggplant Parmesan was delectable and bubbling hot, fantastic with their delicious fresh baked bread. Also a special mention for their dreamy panna cotta with fresh mango sauce. This was by far the best dinner experience I’ve had in a long time
I feel like we stumbled on a hidden gem in Playa and can’t wait to return and dine here again with more family and friends. Bravo!

The title is saying it all. My wife and I ask for pastas to be delivered at our home....two hours later the delivery man showed up....a bit late no? starting eating these delicious pasta and then we found our pastas a bit crunchy... then my wife stopped eating and saw a half cockroach in her pasta, the other half was already eaten. I peronnally had also some crunchy bites but did not really pay attention to it. We can understand the late delivery and also the insect in our plates but we do not understand the very poor recovery service after such incident. The front desk guy did not care at all about this situation and just hanged up the phone, I tried again to call him and he was just hanging up the phone over and over. This is very embarrassing for us as we love to go to this place since more than a year, with family and friends. This guy at the front desk just left us so frustrated to not be able to explain ourselves that we had to write this review right after in order to relieve our anger. I am so sad people like that guy are working there, I think the manager should just fire him for the disrespect and poor quality of just talking to people which is the base of his tasks. Well, if you eat from there it is 50 / 50, you can have a good experience or just be so pissed due to many bad factors that has this restaurant.

Hola que tal,
Lamentamos el inconveniente que se pudo haber causado, hubo muchos factores ese día de su pedido, pues las aplicaciones que normalmente entregan a domicilio (ubereats, rappi) no estaban funcionando esa noche por la lluvia intensa que había, nosotros solo contábamos con nuestro repartidor quien por motivos de la lluvia se demoró en la entrega, respecto a lo que paso con su pasta, nuestras cocinas están fumigadas y sanitizadas, lamentamos el inconveniente los invitamos a visitarnos para que puedan disfrutar nuevamente de nuestro sazón Perché No.

I booked a table for 12 for a Monday evening. Everything was lovely,staff was great, special thanks to our server,very sorry I didn’t get his name but it was January 6th. Service was perfect, food came out together,hot and absolutely no problems with separate bills for six couples. Everyone was happy with their food,I loved my salmon with asparagus,excellent. Really reasonable prices,not a big increase since last year when I was there especially compared to most restaurants downtown. I definitely won’t wait as long to go again. Have mentioned it to a few people and will definitely let other’s know. Have to give them credit for 12 happy diners. Also one person wanted mussels which weren’t really on the menu and they did a mussel pasta dish for her which she she really enjoyed.

We have ordered few times, and today was the last order we ll ever make.
I have ordered a caprese with burrata. Toamatoes were almost green with absolutely no test and the burrata discusting.
Pasta al pomodoro are very fade.
Pizza when reheated was okay.

I have been happily visiting this restaurant with friends for over 3 years. It is my local “go to” because it is consistently excellent. The servers, bar and kitchen staff are very well trained and it clearly shows in the running of this business. I love that I am always greeted with a familiar smile as if I’m a friend and it makes me feel special.
The food is excellent, beautifully presented, and served in a timely manner.
I can’t say enough good about this restaurant.
Well done Perche No.

I've been to this restaurant on many occasions since it opened and I keep returning as it is the best Italian restaurant in Playa de Carmen. The staff are very friendly and the food is excellent and the menu has great variety. So if you are looking for a GREAT local place to enjoy with friends or family, don't hesitate to check this place out.

My wife and I have been in PDC for about 3-4 months now and we find ourselves going to Perché No about once a week. The food is delicious and the service is always quick and friendly. We've tried the pizzas, various pasta dishes, and even the steaks and it never disappoints. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Their signature star shaped pizza was so nice, it was gone by the time I sat down to eat! Their four cheese pizza, not so much! The other vegetarian pizza was good enough. The desserts were ok and were very small in portions, we felt. No delivery here and we are less than a mile away in the local Marriott Residence Inn! No Uber eats here either. So anyway, we went to pick it up and that is a pain due to one ways and the highway, so it is several miles and tricky turns in some places.

We were brought to Perche No by a local Playa del Carmen friend who knows good food. Excellent menu, I think I changes my mind 10 times. I chose the Penne Puttanesca and is was excellent.. Salads were fresh, carpaccio thin as paper. We had excellent service and got there just before the rush. Steaks were perfectly cookd.
We will definitely keep this restaurant on our list.

Sometimes you need a break from Mexican food when dining in Mexico! We found this place near our hotel so decided to give it a try and we were glad we did. Hand stretched and thrown pizza with thin crust, reminded me of our trip to Venice. Cooked in a wood fired oven the pizza was ready in minutes and had great flavor and just rather right amount of char. Their menu has over a dozen varieties of pizza, as well as several variations of pasta and gnocchi, all made in house. This is another recommended place in Playa del Carmen
