Saturday night was girl's night out and four of my friends and I wanted nothing short of a fine-dining experience. Perbacco's was absolutely incredible - the food, the ambience, and the service! Brian was our very professional server and he did a tremendous job suggesting vegetarian options for us. The food at Perbacco's is a work of art and nothing short of perfection. We ordered the endive and shinko pear salad, savoy cabbage and apple salad, raviora, gnocchi di zucca, and risotto. The butternut squash (side dish) is like nothing we had eaten before...it should be in the dessert section of the menu! It was amazing!
We will be back!
From the minute we walked in we were greeted warmly what a great start. Helen was our waiter person. She did an outstanding job the watermelon and tomato salad which was excellent no it was perfect! The pasta was cooked perfect my wife had the gnocchi which I had a bite of again another perfect dish. Desert was strawberry panacotta wow best ever. We did have a suggested bottle of Barolo yummy.
Thank we will be back😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
I had an incredible dining experience at Perbaco. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made me feel welcomed and taken care of throughout the evening. I had such a wonderful time that I am already planning my next visit to Perbaco. It is definitely a restaurant that I highly recommend and will be returning to in the future.

Perbacco is a solid Italian establishment. Mid-high class, not too snooty, reasonably priced, and puts everything together like a tailored suite. Perfect for business meals, date nights, or a solid outing. And the best part is the food is "down-to-earth". It is home-style cooking presented in a professional way.
You have a clean cut, crisp yet cozy interior. Service is extremely friendly and professional. But most of all, the food is straight forward like a right angle. They are cooked with care, presented well, and tastes great. Make sure to go for the pastas that are hand-made fresh daily. You will understand the unique blend of flour the restaurant uses and at first taste, might even feel a it a bit out of place. Such a hearty, home-style pasta being served in a business-like environment. They also don't try to hide this and decorate it with just enough sauce.
ACME bread is obviously amazing with the sweet honey salt butter, ever so gently massaged. All appetizers were solid.
The fig-jam panna cotta was also perfect - creamy, soft, not-too-sweet with a hint of fig.
Perbacco has immediately become one of my favorite places for a great time in downtown SF. Will return.
The restaurant was beautiful and the atmosphere perfect. Food was pretty good. I had the pork chops, which were amazing! And the apple crisp was delicious! Another guest in my party ordered the tiramisu and said it was very soggy. Other than that, I really enjoyed my visit.
I've been to Perbacco several times and have enjoyed each meal there. The pastas are delicious and well done. Service is good. Wine list is extensive. I haven't had a hard time getting a reservation here, unlike some other places. We had the pear salad and the tortellini soup. For pastas, I highly recommend the TAJARIN22/27
handcut thin tagliatelle - 5 hour pork and porcini mushroom sugo and the short ribs in a packet. Can't remember what is was called, but I've had it twice and it is very good. For desserts, we've had the Gelato, which has been rich but not over the top. All in all, I think it is a good value for what you get. Enjoyed our meals here.
Excellent Italian food. We shared our dishes and each one was executed to perfection. The duck was soooooo delicious. Fresh ingredients and a great red pairing
We had a good business meal here with a wide range of small and large plates. The soup felt a bit too rustic for my liking but the pasta was superb. Booth seats are very tight so do ask for other seats if you like space. Overall good location to come back to!
PerbaccoSF, a restaurant known for its traditional Italian cuisine, exquisite design, and excellent service. It is a place that stands out among other premium-class restaurants, and there are many reasons why it is worth choosing for a special evening or celebratory event.
Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Can recommend the risotto, ravioli, and burrata, as well as the goat milk cheesecake!
Good food and crowded, lively atmosphere even for a nearly weeknight dinner. While Perbacco features pasta, we had the duck and halibut, which were both excellent. Service is friendly but a bit over-extended due to the packed crowd, they omitted items and were slow. But if you're not in a hurry it's a good site. Valet parking is back, despite its webset saying it is not.

We wandered here on a Wednesday night with no reservation. The restaurant definitely came off as upscale and cozy. However, we didn’t get any weird looks despite our super casual attire. Anyway, let’s get to the food!
Appetizers: We ordered the terrina and the piastra roasted octopus. The terrina had a different texture than expected. We thought it would be spreadable like pate. The octopus was good but wish there were more. Definitely not your value option here haha.
Mains: We ordered the tortelli con fegato d’anatra and the rigatonicini neri. The tortelli was easily the best we’ve had. Each one was filled with rich tasting pate. The rigatonicini paled in comparison. The pasta itself tasted bland despite being covered in squid ink. Maybe it’s the wheat used? That’s all I got from it but I did tasted the herbs and sauce. Highly recommend the tortellini though!
Desserts: There’s always room for desserts, right? We each got our own desserts: wildflower honey panna cotta and the pear crumble. Both were delicious. I don’t see it in their menu anymore. Hopefully they were replaced with equally tasting selections.
Drink: We’re both lightweights so we shared the parklet. We picked this because we have a thing for egg white in cocktails. The other selections look great as well so choose what looks best!
It’s hard to knock this restaurant down a star since we all have different tastes. Sometimes we order things that may not meet our expectations but we’re here to explore and try new things. The quality of food and service was consistent, and the atmosphere was great. I can comfortably and confidently say this is a 5 out of 5.
