"Perbacco" means many things in Italian: it can refer to pleasure, surprise, or "good times," and we experienced all three on our visit to this downtown restaurant. The large and airy dining space allows groups to gather and share stories over exceptional food. Perbacco's menu focuses on seasonal ingredients that have been crafted with enthusiasm and love for Northern Italian fare. Don't leave without sampling the five-hour Pork Sugo or the house cured salumi; both are standouts on a menu bursting with rich options.
