"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

The menu is available for pick up or delivery on April 3rd or 4th, and all orders must be placed here by April 1st." - julia chen 1
"Perbacco is one of the rare old-school Italian spots that isn’t in North Beach. And it has a lot of the tell-tale signs of the genre: white tablecloths, tie-clad servers, and no music—but the food is anything but red sauce spaghetti and meatballs. Cal-Ital takes on pasta are why you’re here. Get the pillowy gnocchi topped with a tangy tomato sugo and the Dungeness spaghetti that’s tart, spicy, and briny all at once. It’s a good choice when you have family visiting from out of town or for a small group dinner before hopping on BART or Muni to extend the night with drinks elsewhere." - patrick wong, julia chen 1, lani conway
"Perbacco’s three-course Passover dinner is $78, serves two, and comes with roasted beets, matzo ball soup, and roasted chicken. Pick up days are March 27th and 28th. If you want one, you’ll have to pre-order here by March 25th at 5pm. Items off their a la carte Passover menu are also available for pick up or dine-in March 27th to April 3rd." - julia chen 1
