Pera comes with references: Owner Umit Ayyildiz was co-owner of Café Istanbul in Newport on the Levee. Like Café Istanbul, it has Persian carpet-upholstered booths and some beautiful carpets on the walls. If you have ever been to Café Istanbul, you will find the menu familiar - Turkish appetizers, kebabs, apricot chicken, some generically Mediterranean dishes and pasta.
