Description

Don't let the well-groomed, Armani-suited crowd at Perbacco's elegant bar in the Financial District 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 daily-changing menu is equally suited to grazing on small plates, or to a multicourse Italian blowout. Chef Staffan Terje, formerly of Scala's Bistro, is a genius at braising. 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... More »

  • 2008 | Best High-End Italian

    San Francisco is blessed with many excellent Italian restaurants (several of the best have opened in the past couple of years). They include neighborhood pizzerias, osterias, and trattorias. But for alta cucina, the full-on, high-end experience in a posh place offering everything from soup (minestra) to nocce (frutta secca), the ristorante of choice is Perbacco. The glamorous, two-story space can be noisy, but the extraordinarily exciting food, focusing on the Piemonte and Ligurian regions,... More »
