Profile

The menu reads like a greatest-starchy-hits list of regional Italian cooking—from Sicilian rice balls to Emilian spinach pie—it's an anti-Atkins manifesto. There's an almost all-Italian wine list and several snacky proteins like grilled-lamb skewers to round things out.

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., 11am—4 p.m.

Fine food. Not outstanding. Cramped. On my list a long time. Went for my birthday. 90 min. after the time my reservation we were told of a 2 hour limit and that the meal was over b4 dessert. Had wine, 3 apps & 2 mains. When calmly questioned the manager we got a REAL unprofessional bad attitude. Nothing like this ever happened in 30+ years of fine dining.

The food at Perbacco is inventive and inspired. It's classic Italian somehow transferred into avant-guard. Even if you don't love one or two of the dishes, you'll be glad you ordered it anyway because it will be like nothing you have ever tried, and novelty is always fun for a foodie (especially at their relatively inexpensive prices!). I come here A LOT, and I have introduced over a dozen people (of all different palates), and everyone is ALWAYS more than pleased with Perbacco and has gone back on their own. The Crostini, the Parmesan crème Brule, deep friend risotto balls, the basil salad, the pumpkin ravioli, and most of the pastas are just to die for. Dishes I found more interesting than delicious were the deep fried Gorgonzola with mango gelato, the gnocchi with duck, and the fried pumpkin and goat cheese balls. And for desert, you just can't go wrong with anything. I have never ventured into the meat or fish portions of the menu because the pastas are just too irresistible, so I have no advice there.
