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.

    Great food! Everything we had was exceptional, like the burrata, Brussels sprouts, tajarin, and paparadelle. Appetizers have gotten a LOT smaller than they used to be and the cocktails were incredible small- almost like samples. Overall, service was excellent and the environment is nice. Will I go back? Absolutely but I’ll stop somewhere else to have my cocktail!

    Perbacco has been consistently great for years now. Not sure how they do it, but the food is just always great, year after year. I can always take a friend or client there with confidence that they will love it. Noise level is a little high, but probably because it's so popular!

    Everything was perfectly prepared & served, and delicious. Our server, Denise, is a true professional. From appetizers through salad and pasta entrees, it was all great.

    Food is generally good from a quality and taste perspective but portions are really small. I had the lentil; and italian sausage dish and the sausage slices were rather thin and there were only two of them. I was expecting a meatier sausage dish.
