Description

Don't let the well-groomed, Armani-suited crowd at Perbacco's elegant bar intimidate you - head to the back and you'll find plenty of nondescript S.F. foodies chowing down on unusual dishes from the regions of Liguria, Piemonte, and the Veneto.

The dining room is closed midafternoon, but a large selection of appetizers is served at the bar.

    Instant Italian

    By Robert Lauriston | Wed, November 22, 2006

    What accounts for a restaurant's success? The conventional wisdom is that location is paramount, but while Tadich Grill has had a line out the door since it moved to California Street in 1967, its next-door neighbor the Gold Coast Restaurant faile... More »
