By far the best Italian restaurant in the city, if not outside of
Italy. I had the honor to work and learn from Chef Staffan Terje and I
owe my passion & knowledge for food and fine dining to this very
talented man! His passion for food and his pride of honoring the
culinary traditions of Italy have named Perbacco the best fine dining
Italian restaurant in San Francisco.
Staffan travels to Italy 4 times a year to seek out new recipes and
discover traditional Italian methods of cooking. The menu changes
seasonally and you will never find chicken with pasta- so don't even
ask!
Some of the items you just can't miss there are the breadsticks,
house-cured charcuterie platter, any of the house-made pastas,
the dried-aged steak and the panna cotta.
The wine list is impeccable and can be intimidating if you are not
familiar with European wines, but do not fear! The ever-knowledgeable
Sommelier and service staff will be more than happy to guide you
through your wine experience.
"Staffan Terje, who
worked many years at Scala's Bistro, has created a breakout restaurant
in the Financial District where he makes stunning house-cured meats,
incredible pastas and the world's best breadsticks, brought to the
table soon after guests are seated.
Old meets new in the
two-level interior that incorporates a large open kitchen and various
dining areas, some with majestically high ceilings and others with a
more intimate, private atmosphere. Co-owner Umberto Gibin, who has
worked at many of the city's best places, aptly orchestrates the
front-of-the-house staff."

Michael Mina, This chef-named,
American cuisine restaurant has a complicated and highly personal menu.
"Each course highlights a
different ingredient, such as tai snapper or quail, and he creates up
to six preparations displayed on the same plate. Leaving nothing to
chance, he also designed much of his own china. Both the seamless
service and the extensive wine list are as carefully orchestrated as
the food and the decor." Michael Bauer, Food Critic

Range, "There's a reason this restaurant owned by
chef Phil West and his wife, Cameron, has moved to the top of
everyone's dining list: The interior is comfortable and stylish, the
food is sensational, and the prices are a bargain.
The restaurant has a very personal feel, and much of the interior
design was done by the couple using elements found in nearby Mission
District shops. Open-beamed ceilings and a pristine glassed-in kitchen
complete the look. The constantly changing menu is concise, but
everything's a winner. Pay special attention to the interesting
cocktails and some of the best desserts in the city." Michael

restaurants in the Bay Area!
Fleur de Lys has been around for over 50 years and still delivers one
of the BEST fine dining experiences in not only the city but in the

and natural ingredients. Being the first four-star chef to make a

Ozumo, Is the Japanese restaurant to
go to if you are wanting an incredible sushi dinner & to impress
your company! Not only is the sushi the best quality in the city; the
ambiance, the bay views, the sake list and the service make this a
dining experience to never forget!
The sake bar in the front is a common after-work hangout for the local
financial district crowd; which is a good mixture of lawyers, stock
brokers & corporate heads. My favorite spot is the sushi counter-
you always get taken care of there and the chefs are extra nice if you
buy them a drink!
Lunch 11:30am-2pm Monday-Friday; Dinner 5:30-10pm
Sunday-Wednesday, until 10:30pm Thursday and until 11 pm
Friday-Saturday. Sushi bar open until midnight

talents behind this vibrant South of Market hotspot.
