"The Financial District isn’t usually the first neighborhood people think of for destination dining, but the old-school Italian Perbacco is just that. Their pasta leans more Northern Italian than bolognese and shredded parmesan, like gnocchi that melts on contact and meyer lemon spaghetti with Dungeness crab that's simultaneously bright, spicy, and briny. Be sure to order the red wine short ribs—they come with a side of incredible bone marrow gnocchi." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
