- diana chowOctober 3, 2015the bellissimo cocktail is fantastic. then get appetizer portions of as many pastas as you and your company can handle. we had the garganelli, coujette (gnocchi), and tajarin (tagliatelle). all 👍🏻👍
- Chris MessinaNovember 23, 2017From 2-6PM in the bar on Mon-Fri, wine specials and cocktails (like a negroni spritz) are $9, beer is $5, and snacks range from $2-$9 ea, including deviled eggs, chicken wings, and fried green beans.
- Mike WiseDecember 28, 2014This is a gem. Wines served by the glass without uncorking? Great appetizers And perfect pasta that even comes in half portions. Scallops and Black Sea bass; great chef in a seaport.
- Natalie MJanuary 23, 2017Literally the best meal I've ever had. Went here for an anniversary dinner and it was perfect. Service was impeccable. Food was amazing and the rolls they give you, I crave them all the time.
- Christian FengAugust 31, 2018If you aren't sure what to get, go for the Fritto Misto (Crispy Fried Shrimp) for starters and any of the pastas for dinner. Personally I recommend the Pappardelle, or Tajarin.
- Daniel PearsonAugust 11, 2014I live in North Beach (Little Italy) and this is the best Italian I've had in San Francisco. It is the perfect mixture of old school Italian flavored and new school chef technique.
- Phoebe VenkatFebruary 2, 2014I recommend the salumi misti plate (share as an appy), ginger cocktail, tagliatelle and brown sugar gelato for dessert (comes w/ some excellent brown sugar cookies)
- Lisa EDecember 30, 2012The burrata is just about the only thing that isn't house made, but don't let that stop you; it's divine. Follow it up with an appetizer portion of pasta so you'll have room for dessert.
- Marc SDecember 30, 2019Everything is of top quality. Among the mains (“secondi”), the beef cheek is amazing.
- Irina LeonidovnaMay 8, 2015The hazelnut cookies are amazing! :-) so were the fettuccini and tajarin pasta , they were excellent! Even by the standards of my Italian friend
- AthenaJanuary 5, 2014Sea salted caramel gelato, ridiculous. Also, the dessert with pears. Short rib or sea bass for an entree. Trust me, There were 10 of us, I tried everything.
- Gilt CityJune 2, 2011This is Northern Italian food inspired by the Piedmont region, known for progressive ways and rich dishes (i.e. cream and fresh truffles). Don't miss the Chef's Table and see the magic firsthand.
- Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011Upstairs mezzanine seating is a bit more peaceful than the bustling ground floor, that is, until your taste buds start singing from the likes of house-made salumi and fresh pastas. - Inspector
- Filipe FortesJanuary 31, 2013Paleo Options - Apps: Ceviche, Slow Roasted Veal, Beef Tartare, others; Mains: Seared Sea Scallops, Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder; Sides: Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Turnips
- Ray HartjenDecember 6, 2015Menu changes daily. Great food, great value, and great service. Wines are better than specialty cocktails.
- Helen BraithwaiteDecember 9, 2015Just had a wonderful meal there! Good menu, food and wine. If you want a simple mix green salad they will do that for you
- ScottJanuary 25, 2013This is my favorite SF restaurant. Perfect risotto, amazing veal & pork meatballs. Wonderful atmosphere & service. Impressive wine list.
- @EmelercetinnAugust 10, 2015Our hotels concierge recommend us this place but It is not so good place to regular italian pasta... If you like different kind pasta then you can try. I think it is over priced for what you get it!
- Paulina My PaulinaAugust 17, 2010I had the Roasted Octopus and Wagyu beef lengua to start with, we split a plate of Tajarin and opted for the Roasted Duck, Halibut and the seared Scallops.Who skips dessert? We had the caramel gelato
- Tasting TableMay 9, 2012Gluten free? Chef Staffan Terje at Perbacco now stocks gluten-free pasta made entirely with organic corn and available in spaghetti and fusilli: Read more
- Andy WangJune 4, 2018Great octopus appetizer and pasta. Food is definitely worthy of 1 Michelin Star.
- James UrsiniAugust 29, 2012Best italian restaurant in the city. Classic Italian dishes. Definitely try the soup its always made fresh an changes daily!
- Tobias KemperOctober 31, 2013Brussel sprouts should be a MUST side order. (double take after the first bite, "These are so good!")
- Sophyan JulioJuly 25, 2015Sneaking in a romantic lunch date during work the work week? You will not be alone here.
- Peg ChampionMay 14, 2011La prima: smoked Liberty Farms goose with dried fruits. Il secondo: two pasta tastings - rabbit agnolotti & duck ragu gnocchi. La terza: scallops with baby fennel & blood orange. Qui ho mangiato bene!
- Barb NissAugust 23, 2012The veal and pork meatballs and the hanger steak were both amazing, but the burnt caramel gelato was to-die-for!
- Desiree MsCaliDecember 31, 2013Great Ambiance. If you're a seafood Iover, definitely try the Local Squid Alla Piastrak
- JJ VenturiniJanuary 23, 2015Manhattan with brandied cherries. 2nd to none. Constantly changing menu worth going multiple times
- Luiz Felipe Morgado da SilvsMay 22, 2015I recommend the tagliatelle with pork and porcini sauce, its delicious
- Manuel RuizJune 25, 2015I tried the meat ravioli and some meat tartar as a starter. The ravioli were out of this world
- Andrew 👀 WongNovember 14, 2012Great, classy atmosphere and good food. I tried the sole entree this time and it was exceptional.
- The salumi misti plate of house cured meats was fantastic and great as a starter to share. Raviolo with ricotta, spinach and truffles was excellent.
- Alex BradleySeptember 4, 2010If they have the "Raviolo filled with ricotta,spinach and farm egg; with grated summer truffles and melted butted" order it, in fact, order two! Awesome dish.
- Stewart AlsopOctober 12, 2011Try the Brussel sprouts - Fried in duck fat! With capers, anchovy, and red wine vinaigrette. F---ing incredible!
- Really good pastas. Good wine selection. Upscale crowd. Def go.
- Tim HurtJune 26, 2011Umberto is the man. Small party ask for upstairs seating, more intimate. Larger party try to get captains table right by kitchen.
- Julie WithersJune 11, 2013Great bartenders. Ask them to go off the normal list and give you their own creations.
- Paul VousdenMarch 8, 2012Stunning food you really can't go wrong but make sure you save some room for a dessert
- Juan DiezOctober 26, 2013If you are having a cocktail before dinner I highly suggest the Perbacco (drink named after the place).
- Andrew 👀 WongNovember 2, 2012Tried the lamb stew for lunch and the chocolate custard... both were excellent.
