Pernoi Opens in Downtown Birmingham
P

ernoi, a contemporary 
restaurant owned by 
chefs Luciano DelSignore 
and Takashi Yagihashi, opened 
last month at 310 E. Maple 
Road in Birmingham.
The 2,700-square-foot 
restaurant, designed by Kyle 
Evans Design, offers seating for 
65 guests within three unique 
dining experiences. Those 
include the Maple Room, a 
formal, jacket-required dining 
room with a la carte and prix 
fixe menu options; and the 

Port Room, a more casual bar 
and lounge adjacent to the 
Terrace, a 35-seat outdoor 
courtyard. Both offer a la carte 
menus, which include saffron 
capellini tossed in fish fumet 
and mascarpone, and sashimi 
tuna in onion vinaigrette and 
seaweed.
“We wanted to provide three 
unique dining experiences to 
meet varying occasions and 
preferences,” said DelSignore, 
chef and co-owner of Pernoi. 
“The Maple Room offers 

a formal, jacket-required 
atmosphere while the Port 
Room and Terrace will serve 
more casual, yet upscale 
crowds seeking high-end 
cuisine.”
With the space designed to 
look and feel as if one is on 
a luxury yacht, DelSignore 
and Yagihashi commissioned 
original art by acclaimed 
painter and Metro Detroit 
resident, Dominic Pangborn, 
which is displayed throughout 
the restaurant.
