Perbacco
230 California (at Front)
San Francisco, CA 94111
Don't let the well-groomed, Armani-suited crowd at Perbacco's elegant bar intimidate you -- head to the back and you'll find plenty of nondescript SF 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, such as the excellent housemade salumi, salt cod puree, and seasonal salads and fritto misto, or to a multicourse Italian blowout. Chef Staffan Terje, formerly of Scala's Bistro, is a genius at braising -- carnivores, don't miss his luscious milk-braised pork or short rib stracotto. The dining room is closed mid-afternoon, but a large selection of appetizers is served at the bar.
