AWESOME PIZZA! AWESOME CUPCAKES! My wife was a Perrecas non-believer (She is from Seattle) and after the cupcake she is now a lifetime fan! read more

I went there this morning with a friend for breakfast, adorable place. Clean too. I had the french toast w/ sausage. The sausage looked homemade, the french toast was made with their Perrecas Italian bread. Delicious! The French toast was light and fluffy. My friend had a bacon, egg & cheese on a bagel, it was perfectly cooked and gone in 5 min flat. Will definitely visit again whenever in the area!! read more

This place is awesome. Great food and great service for a great price. Jeremy, our waiter, was terrific. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We love it here for breakfast or dinner. Lunch can be a bit noisy unless you are able to sit outside on the back patio. Of course, the bread is to die for. read more

Amazing chicken Marsala! Eat in or call ahead for take home meal. Nice staff and friendly service. Also, family friendly. Love the new space. read more

Eggs in purgatory! (Sunny side up eggs on a bed of spicy ragu with toasted Italian bread). Enjoyed it on More Perreca's sunny outside courtyard last weekend. Awesome. read more

Family friendly service! Would recommend! The food is crazy good. Try the bakery next door as well, as their bread is amazing.

Amazing authentic Italian food! I ordered the chicken parm and the portion was huge! Everything we ordered was delicious and our server Carol C was very quick and helpful read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time tonight - Restaurant Week 2017. I'm so happy I did! The food was absolutely fantastic and the service is on par with white glove service. They expertly handled a sensitive situation for me. I can't wait to return! If you go make reservations - it's a cozy space and I don't want to see anyone miss out on this delicious experience. read more

Wow! Incredible food, incredible atmosphere, incredible people. We just don't get this in DC. You must come here! Maria is a dream.

Most entrees at Perreca's are about a 3 or a 4, but the Chicken Marsala is a 5+++! It is TO DIE FOR. My boyfriend loves the lasagna, which is also fantastic. Enjoy the bread!!! read more

FINALLY! I've been to More Perecca's perhaps 6 times since they opened. Some of the food is good - other times, it is inconsistent, or the attention to detail isn't quite there, making the food not succeed as it should. However, they finally have their Pizza Oven and it is up and running and it is a very good thing for this restaurant. I went there the other day. My companion got a turkey sandwich (okay, but nothing to get excited about). For me, it was a no brainer to order the pizza. They are supposedly offering a pizza of the day. That day, it was caramelized onion and fontina cheese. All I can say is YUM. The pizza is a "personal" size - not too big, but since I have a dainty appetite, there was some to take home. The crust was flavorful, thing, with a nice texture that offered some crispiness (I don't like mushy crust) and some tooth. The pizza was nicely dressed, with a good balance of cheese and onions - just the right amount. It was served fairly quickly. In all, I'd say right now their pizzas are quick, delicious, and reasonably priced and a really good reason to visit More Perecca's. read more

I came here for lunch a few weeks ago on a whim (I was craving a healthy salad) and was not disappointed. I had a salad, BLT, and Iced coffee all of which I took to go. The salad on the lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes fresh, and the red onion fragrant. Perfectly dressed with a light Italian oil&vinegar dressing. The bread on the BLT was thick and perfectly toasted while the bacon was flavorful with the right amount of crisp. My iced coffee was large, strong, fresh tasting. While waiting for my order I saw numerous pizzas go by, all of which looked pretty amazing. Fast, inexpensive, delicious - what more can one ask for in a lunch spot. read more

Traveled to Schenectady from Saratoga for Father's Day. The stomping grounds of our youth. Hubby and I were born here, one street apart in beautiful Little Italy. Walking to Perracas for bread for Sunday dinner is a cherished memory. Recently back to New York after being away 15 years we needed just the right spot for breakfast for a large party including a spunky toddler. We were excited to hear of the expansion of our favorite of long ago and said why not? "More Perrecas" did not disappoint us. If I could give more stars I would. Clean, friendly, attentive, and delicious. They did not rush us instead let us linger before taking our order or clearing our table. To make it even sweeter the chef sent us over cannoli pancakes. Hospitality just how we remember around the old block. Now don't think because We are born and bread from this block We based our review on nostalgia. My husband and I are third generation restaurant owners ourselves and sometimes are considered restaurant snobs by our friends when it comes to quality, service and taste. None of which was lacking here. Well worth the trip from Saratoga to Schenectady. From one restaurateur to another you guys nailed it! Congratulations! We will be back SOON! read more

The food at the Café is wonderful! I Highly recommend any of the food, as its all made fresh everyday. The Bread is over the top as well as the cupcakes! read more

Wow, we were so pleased with this small and wonderful menu. Flavors are amazing, fresh and satisfying. Not your cookie cutter Italian fare. We loved it and recommend it highly. read more

Amazing for brunch amazing for dinner. The place is just the best. It can get a little busy Sunday morning but the service is still excellent and the food is never short of perfect. Best place in Schenectady for brunch read more

I really enjoy More Pereccas. I was only of the many schenectadians that were super excited when Pereccas opened up a restaurant. Breakfast and lunch are definitely the best here- the sandwiches are amazing! Love the service always. I only have one main complaint- the lighting is too bright for dinner, they need lights on a dimmer. But, the prices are so good!!! read more

Food is always good. The waiter when we were there last was awful. For some reason o ly 1 there that night and he could not handle it. We walked out read more

You can't go wrong with this place, and you will get enough food for dinner to take home and have another meal. Lunch is lighter with sandwiches or smaller dishes. Haven't had breakfast there but I'm sure it's delish...very authentic Italian read more

I had the gnocchi with a lamb bolognese sauce about 2 weeks ago. It knocked my socks off. Taste was impeccable. Portion was perfect. Quality was above expected and the price was on point. Tiramisu for dessert wasn't too sweet. A perfect ending to dinner. I've had brunch here before and it was delicious too. It's my new favorite restaurant. read more

Oof, well that was a horrible experience. Their new chef and menu are terrible/pathetic/useless. Went with fiancé for dinner. We were advised the "shareable" salads were good for 2 people.....this was not the case, ordered a Caesar salad.. the salad was served in a large plate but there was a small amount of it definitely not enough for 2 people. The Caesar dressing was too acid for a creamy Caesar dressing. Next the "Large Plates" title would lead one to believe you are getting a large portion particularly at the price listed. I ordered the Chicken Parm ($21 overpriced much?) which I have always ordered. Well ...... I was served a tiny piece of chicken (about 1/3 the size of the old menu portion) AND MY CHICKEN WAS RAW. Not only was it RAW but it was also HARD, most likely old chicken sitting in the fridge for days. It was served on a tiny plate (funny since it's under the LARGE PLATES section) the salad was served on a bigger plate. The chicken came with a very small scoop of Spaghetti. The spaghetti was undercooked(hard and chewy) and over salty, it was served with a weird marinaraish sauce that tasted like metal and was extremely salty rendering the Spaghetti inedible. The spaghetti reminded me of Chef Boyardee canned spaghetti. I obviously alerted the waiter to my raw chicken and declined his offer to have the chef remake it obviously being put off on the chefs lack of basic cooking skills. Overall it was a pretty crap experience and will not be going back. It's a shame as Perreca's used to be such a wonderful place. Get you act together. read more

The visits to More Perreca's are as satisfying as the visits to Perreca's Bakery on the other side of the wall! The menu is concise and delicious with enough variety to please everyone's palette. Their specialties are indeed special; whether it's the breakfast, lunch or dinner menu. The pricing is very reasonable and the proportions generous. I love the staff who are professional and efficient, yet warm and friendly. The Chefs are accommodating to special requests and Wait Staff cheerful and prompt. Thank you Rachel B! Satiated appetite, friendly banter...yup, I like it! read more

I had dinner with my wife and both of us were extremely pleased with our meals. I had the lasagna which was fantastic and the meatiest I've ever had. My wife had the chicken marsala and she thought it was awesome. Only one minor complaint, they didn't serve the bread with butter or olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The waitress was excellent as well. Definitely would recommend. read more

We were working in Schenectady and needed a nice meal. The place was packed but they fit us in and seated us, and we had amazing service. They were respectful and wonderful to us. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome. :) thank you Perreca's!!!! read more

I had heard mixed things about Perreca's sandwiches. I did a taste test today, btwn F. Cappeli's and Perreca's (after already having Gershons and Capri) and I must say that although the Muffeletta was just OK, the Italian Mix sandwich was SPECTACULAR. The bread is undeniably fantastic. However the big surprise was how good the Italian Mix sandwich was. I was expecting less as it looked a little dry, however it was wonderful. In regards to where it fits on the best sandwiches of Schenectady, definitely better then F. Cappellis, which looked like it had some great cheeses and salads, but the sandwich was not good. Gershon's is definitely my vote for top all around deli in the area. However, Capri without question had the best italian mix sandwich and is a MUST if you are in the area. read more

Amazing place to eat! I love Perreca's! Their bread is to die for, as well as the brunch. The service is quick and friendly. I 100% recommend! read more

So, as a one time resident of Schenectady, I was very familiar with Perecca's bakery. The bakery alone is an excellent bakery; however, the restaurant next door, is NOT. Long story short, my companion and I were intrigued by the sign in the window that said "coal fired pizza". Unfortunately, we had the misfortune of watching the pizza being prepared. The staff pulled out a pre-made cracker like crust from a plastic bag. 7 minutes later our 'well done' requested pizza arrived with soggy and undercooked toppings/cheese and a burnt crust. With tax, tip and 1 beer we left $29. Both of us felt ripped off. How can a restaurant that is physically attached to a bakery and shares the same name, not use fresh dough? read more

We were there for brunch on Saturday and everything was perfection. I had eggs in purgatory and a glass of prosecco and mmm was it all delicious. Perreca s bread made it all even better. The service was great too. I can't wait to go back. read more

Waited an hour for a mediocre meal. Waitress was non apologetic and never offered to refill our drinks. Pizza crust is pre made, not authentic wood fired . Little to no cheese on hot meatball sandwich. Soup was weak. Only redeeming food was the bread .... read more

I give this place 1 star only because I can't go lower.. Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant.. The people are unfriendly at best, the service is bad even for Schenectady, the food is better at Olive Garden (sorry Olive Garden)... Fortunately the portion size is smaller than a Jenny Craig snack... As for the prices...if you compare the value....no you can't do that....if you compare the restaurant itself...no you can't do that either... I can't compare the prices with anything near reasonable... My advice...find someplace else...there seem to be a lot of reasonable restaurants in this area with great food and nice people....unfortunately this is NOT one of them.. read more

It's tasty. It's been a while since I been there I can't give real honest review the only thing that sticks out is the smell of the eggs in puragtory my cousin had. I wanted it so bad. read more

Love this place! Their homemade bread is absolutely amazing! Great service, casual, old school atmosphere. In the "little Italy" of Schenectady. Everything is great on the menu but 2 favorites are the tomato pie and eggs in purgatory. read more

After hearing from many people how good the food was - I was disappointed after trying for myself. Husband and I ordered spaghetti and meatballs to share with our daughter. Spaghetti was not cooked well and meatballs were cool. Sauce wasn't what I was hoping for either. Bread served wasn't fresh and the crusts were hard to chew. Overall a fine dinner, but something I could have made at home... read more

I wouldn't even give Perreca's restaurant one star. By far the worst breakfast and breakfast experience I've ever had. First we wait 35 minutes AFTER we get our coffee to even place an order. Then after another 30 minute wait we received our "food." The french toast was soggy, as if they dunked it in water before cooking. The "fritatta" was simply scrambled eggs with cheese and enough grease to fill a hybrid vehicle. The under seasoned (or not at all seasoned) display of "italian home-fries" had an enjoyable piece of HAIR that came with it. Coffee was nice and luke warm, if you enjoy that. Lastly the "home-made muffin" was as good and moist as a Jiffy box muffin. Do yourself a favor in the morning and make your own breakfast or even Denny's would have a more enjoyable meal. read more

Delicious food, wonderful service, great prices. A little gem in Schenectady. Better than homemade.

Stick with breakfast/brunch. It's pretty good if they don't burn your toast. Dinner was awful. Slow service caused by poor management, small portions for the price, really limited menu, my side of pasta tasted like it had boiled for 5 minutes tops, and the marinara is bad. The sauce pretty much ruined my otherwise decent eggplant parm. read more

It's sad when the waiter serves you cold bread and has never heard of bolognese sauce. Not very impressed but I would be willing to give it another chance. read more

It's a place I should love, a place I want to love. But I can't We had a bad experience here a few years ago, enough to swear us off for good. But being in the area last week, and needing a place for dinner, we decided at the last minute to give it another try. Big Mistake. The restaurant is like going back in time. Black and white tile floor, wooden booths, a really low key atmosphere perfect for a neighborhood place. Our meals started off promising enough, a small crisp salad for me, passable soup for my husband. The server forgot our drinks, after 3 times asking and 15 minutes had passed, they arrived. It went downhill from there. I had ordered Veal Milanese, which is typically a fried veal cutlet topped with fresh tomatoes and arugula. The menu said something like that. What I got was a cutlet, more breading than veal, burned and bitter. And instead of topped with fresh diced tomatoes, it was topped with tomato sauce. It had torn basil on it, no arugula. It was really like a bad version of Veal Parm. My husband didnt fare much better. He ordered a pizza, which was cold in the center. We had to flag down our server, and ask for it to be heated. By the time it returned, he and I had already finished my veal. We were clearly displeased, and asked for it to go. No apology, no offer to bring him something while he waited. Nothing. Three strikes and they are out; read more
