Sleek and modern with one foot firmly in the Old World is the feeling at Perbacco. The restaurant boasts a brick wall original to the historic 1913 Hind building, with other touches such as a bar top and floor tiles made from white Carrara marble. With 16 seats at the bar and 7 more intimate tables, Perbacco creates an atmosphere for a glass of wine or a light bite. Perbacco also features 2 dining rooms, one on the main floor and a smaller one on the Mezzanine, which has the added allure of serving as "theater", with windows to watch all the action in the kitchen below. Chef Staffan Terje strives to cook the finest food reflecting the Italian regions of Piemonte and Liguria. Handcrafted, house-made salumi, prosciutto and other charcuterie are not to be missed. Seasonal pastas, a tradition in Piemonte, range from the traditional ravioli to the more exotic agnolotti. Main courses feature dishes such as stuffed quail breast, a selection of seafood dishes, and vegetarian options.

    We have dined at Perbacco pretty much since it opened way back when. Always enjoyed their food and service. They are by no means a Michelin 3 star restaurant, but their menu is always well thought out and their dishes are consistently well prepared. We picked back up our visits to Perbacco after a long COVID pandemic induced hiatus and are very glad it is still there to serve us a “modrrn” version of Italian food we really like. Service is always professional and depending on the server, very warm and welcoming. We always feel relaxed and at home there.

    Crispy Brussels sprouts not crispy, halibut had more cauliflower than fish, crudo overpowered by a sweet sauce, and I had the smallest martini ever. $10 for two rolls is absurd. The service was very good.

    Came here for anniversary lunch on a rainy day in SF. We loved the vibe from the get go. Service was on point with good recommendations on wine options. Burrata appetizer was very nice! We followed it triangular pasta and roast chicken. Make sure to get reservations as the place gets packed quickly. Overall great experience! Good options for vegetarian wife and decently priced for dates!

    We were the last table of the night, and our waiter Eddy was our friend til the end. He properly managed big parties vs. small, and last moment food modifications after the kitchen closed. Very grateful for him and the staff. Restaurant week menu was superb and an OUTSTANDING value.

    We totally enjoyed the 2-course lunch offerings for restaurant week. The main course of Lasagna or Trout was very delicious. The portion was generous. Great value at $35./person. Best deal in town!!
