We celebrated my husband's 65th birthday with our son and his family. The service was wonderful and the grandkids were treated so well by our waiters. It was an excellent experience for all of us.

Fabulous! We had no expectations other than reviews posted. Service, attention to detail, visual food presentation, overall ambiance, courtesy, friendless and quality of food for price paid is definitely two thumbs up! I recommend this restaurant!

I met with two friends from a former job in the Financial District for dinner. We hadn't seen each other for five years. Perbacco was perfect. We enjoyed a 3 hour dinner with great hospitality.
About the restaurant: Owner Umberto Gibin's razor-sharp tie and impeccable suit match the precision of this two-tiered restaurant's expansive charm and style. The unique, warm-yet-luxe setting soars with exposed brick, deep red-padded booths, comfortable dining areas and an exhibition kitchen. Carrara marble floors glisten throughout the front-of-house bar area while details such as a restored, antique meat slicer atop the bar and a rough-hewn chef's table lend notes of rustic authenticity.Food & Drinks: Simple, regional Piedmontese and Ligurian flavors are well invoked by chef/owner Staffan Terje. Try all of the house-cured salumi at once and revel in the joys of rich salame al barolo, fatty and fennel-infused lonza, and the memorable ramekin of smooth, shredded ciccioli (pork pâté). House-made pastas are elevated with their gravy-like sugos --- the pappardelle with braised short rib ragù and roasted chanterelles makes a person wonder how other places get it wrong. A pork shoulder al latte (in milk) served with salty polenta and Savoy cabbage smells and tastes like somebody's nonna came, cooked and left. A separate bar menu and a short but well-chosen list of Italian wines and cocktails draws a lively after-work crowd. Expense-account lunches are also sure to please.
