About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

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.

There was a rowdy table throughout dinner and the staff did nothing to stop it. All tables around us were annoyed.

We went twice to have dinner within one week. We loved the service, the food, the place, the ambiance, and we had the best recommendations from the very knowledgeable sommelier. We celebrated our anniversary and my boyfriend’s birthday, and we could not ask for a better place, staff, food and wine. We had an amazing and unforgettable experience. Cannot wait to be back again!!
