Ever since we have come to San francisco we have been looking for good italian food. I had no idea we would meet Dominico and enjoy such a wonderful and amazing Italian meal. Thank you for the food and laughs!

They prepared a very special and memorable dinner for my family. The staff’s attention is excellent, and it would be impossible not to highlight the outstanding service. On top of that, the food was exquisite. At first, we were hoping to find more options on the menu, but after taking Chef Tobias’s recommendations, I can trust that any of the dishes will be absolutely delicious. A truly great restaurant in every aspect.

Friends took me to Perbacco for lunch recently. Every dish was impeccable, but I was particularly impressed by the Triangoli ravioli one of my table mates ordered. The flavors were so complex and appealing. The Baba Al Rum dessert was as scrumptious as it looks!

Perbacco is a fantastic lunch spot in the Financial District if you’re craving classic, authentic Italian food. You can’t go wrong with the burrata plate. I don’t often finish a plate of pasta, but I enjoyed every last bite of the pesto pasta here. Of course, a meal isn’t complete without dessert, so the sorbetto was a perfect, refreshing finish.

Fun/busy atmosphere - but that makes it really loud when busy inside. EXCELLENT service/host staff. Food is good but not particularly special. Appetizers are a highlight over the mains and not a great dessert spread. Fair/reasonable pricing, including cocktails/wine.

The pesto gnocchi was delicious as well as the fingerling potatoes. I had one of their non-alcoholic drinks but can't remember the name but it was very good!

We had Fritto Misto, Crispy mushroom risotto croquettes and truffle aioli, Tomato soup, Plin al funghi and Pan-roasted roasted Cauliflower. The shrimp in the Fritto Misto were so fresh and delicious, the veggies were pretty good too, I wasn't a fan of the calamari though. The mushroom risotto croquettes (arancini) were very moist and creamy. The tomato soup was the best dish of the night, it had pesto oil which elevated the dish to a whole another level. The Pan-roasted roasted Cauliflower was pretty good as well. The Plin al funghi was a bit of a let down :/ We were too full so didn't order dessert. But our server gave us Brutti ma Buoni on the house which we ended up taking to go, but these meringue hazelnut cookies were delicious and light. Service was good. Overall it was a good meal. Would definitely go again :)

Food was great, ambience was mid. We were traveling from the east coast and came here on a date night to celebrate a promotion. I made reservations, but still had a bit of a wait, which is fine. In the past, at other restaurants, anytime I've put that we were celebrating something on the reservation, they show up in some way to celebrate. Whether that's a dessert or champagne. Perhaps I've grown a little spoiled, but I thought it was a bit of a miss to not even mention this note on the reservation. Our waitress seemed a bit disconnected / unenthusiastic entirely. The food was really good overall. This spot definitely attracts an older crowd, which might be why the lights were brighter, but for a 8:30pm reservation, I was surprised by how bright the restaurant was. We probably would've lingered longer for more drinks or dessert if the vibes were better.

This is touted as an upscale Italian restaurant. I went after work and so did everyone else it seems. The crowd was dressed business casual to casual. The bar was lively and crowded. The lighting was dim/moody. There were table cloths and linen napkins. Our waiter spoke in Italian. He was very over the top and engaging. I ordered the amichi mocktail. Sweeter than I like but I enjoyed it. I ordered the Rabaton gnocchi for my entree. The gnocchi was cheesy and tender but the sauce was a bit too flat/ bland for me. You get a pretty good helping. I only ate half and was too full for dessert. I'd give the place another try. Maybe next time try a meat dish.

The meal was very nice. We ordered a few appetizers, wine, and mains. The bread was stellar. I went for traditional specials and everyone was happy with our orders. My only gripe is how busy and loud the venue is. Many tables cramped into a small space. Large parties of 10 sat between small parties of 2 and 4. It really takes away from conversations and ability to hear. The server got busy and forgot about us. I didn't care too much but it was very warm when you cram many people close together and my companions were chugging water to stay cool.

Visited the restaurant for our anniversary, such a disappointment on a number of fronts 1. Very small martini’s 2. Champaign (although French) was served barely chilled 3. Arancini was the biggest failure, not even close to being authentic flat out bad, small little balls tasteless no peas in the middle, served warm. 4. Octopus was just ok, not much taste, served warm not hot. Pappardelle was excellent, duck quacked when pinched, very tough ! My review comes from an East Coast 1st Gen Sicilian so needless to say I am spoiled, but “Perbacco” translated to I’m amazed in English, I am so amazingly disappointed.
