From the Restaurant

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 salami, prosciutto and other meats are featured at the salumi bar. Filled pastas, a tradition in Piemonte, range from the traditional ravioli to the more exotic agnolotti. Main courses feature traditional dishes such as Bollito Misto and milk-braised pork shoulder with Savoy cabbage.

Ridiculously good food at ridiculously affordable prices

We ordered two of everything on the menu, and couldn’t get enough. Man, Chef Terje has something AWESOME going on in this kitchen.

The space is awesome. It looks like a decent sized hallway from the entranceway, but a staircase opens up into several spacious upstairs rooms, one of which is a private room that can be booked for private parties. This isn’t one of those restaurants that crams as many tables as possible into a tiny location; the space feels comfortable.

We all converged on three pasta dishes that we all wanted to eat, but we also wanted to try as many other dishes as possible, so we ordered multiples of everything to share. Be warned that these are generous portions, so you really don’t need to order that much. We were just being dumb Americans.

Some highlights that are not to be missed: agnolotti, tajarin, and papardelle. They were simply fabulous. Skip the Carne Crudo as well as the Coppa di Testa—both had great consistency and texture, but lacked in seasoning.

Wine list is amazing. Waiter was also very accommodating and picked a wonderful barrolo for us.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Share this or get the small portion. It’s wonderful, but flavors can become overwhelmingly rich.

  • *****

    I could eat this every meal every day for a week and not get bored.

  • *****

    Our table of five ordered 7 pasta dishes. Of the seven, three were these. Enough said.
