SPQR, the second venture from the people behind A16, started off as a rustic trattoria. Then Matthew Accarino took over the kitchen and has veered off in a completely different direction. As fashion-forward as it is respectful of Italian traditions, Accarino roasts baby carrots in ash and turns whole pigs into crispy ears, rolled pork belly, and blood pudding. His pastas range from whole-wheat bigoli with duck and kale to nettle tagliatelle with pancetta and chicken livers. And his signature rabbit roulade with stone fruits and mustards is exquisite -- and not rustic at all.

    SPQR, the smaller and more casual (no reservation, no tablecloths) Roman-style osteria on Fillmore opened by the folks who own the excellent A16 in the Marina, offers a half-dozen fried options. All are delicious, but our favorites are the chewy little sweetbreads flavored with garlic and oregano and served with cooling chopped celery and lemon wedges; the iconic Brussels sprouts with garlic, capers, lemon, and parsley, ordered by just about everybody; and chicken livers still meltingly tender under their crisp crust. Dishes rotate on and off the list: We also recommend potatoes fried with pancetta, chiles, and pecorino; cauliflower with chiles and lemon; and tiny balls of mozzarella treated to a bath of spicy tomato sauce.
