The announcement was made by Casa Pernoi founder and celebrated Michigan chef Luciano DelSignore.

“Lunch and Happy Hour at Casa Pernoi are both an exceptional, yet affordable experience - when you walk in you know you are someplace special,” DelSignore said. “I’m very excited about our expanded new menus and service hours. For lunch, Casa Pernoi is filling a void in Birmingham - it currently doesn’t have a stylish Italian lunchtime spot for the work crowd, corporate lunches, shoppers, and family and friends get togethers. For Happy Hour, we also anticipate becoming the Birminghamdestination.”
