Perche' No Italian Bistro

Tucked into Tucson, Arizona, Perche' No Italian Bistro is an Italian restaurant that's become part of the everyday rhythm around University of Arizona. Owned and run locally, not by a chain headquartered somewhere else entirely. College towns like Tucson depend on independently owned restaurants like this one to keep their main streets interesting. No corporate test kitchen behind this one - just people cooking food they want to serve. No big ad budget behind this one - just word of mouth around Tucson. Worth adding to the rotation if you're building a list of Tucson favorites.
