About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Sleek and modern with one foot firmly in the Old World is the feeling at Perbacco. The restaurant boasts a brick wall original to the historic 1913 Hind building, with other touches such as a bar top and floor tiles made from white Carrara marble. With 16 seats at the bar and 7 more intimate tables, Perbacco creates an atmosphere for a glass of wine or a light bite. Perbacco also features 2 dining rooms, one on the main floor and a smaller one on the Mezzanine, which has the added allure of serving as "theater", with windows to watch all the action in the kitchen below. Chef Staffan Terje strives to cook the finest food reflecting the Italian regions of Piemonte and Liguria. Handcrafted, house-made salumi, prosciutto and other charcuterie are not to be missed. Seasonal pastas, a tradition in Piemonte, range from the traditional ravioli to the more exotic agnolotti. Main courses feature dishes such as stuffed quail breast, a selection of seafood dishes, and vegetarian options.

    Frequent visitor ... always get what is expected ... great menu and impeccable, professional service. Today's visit included the octopus appetizer, two of their fabulous pastas, and assorted cookies with a cappuccino. Everything fantastic. We make the trip in from the East Bay enduring the traffic, and are never disappointed. Perbacco is a cut above.

    At least 7 different service members stopped by to ensure the entire experience was special. I’m a former GM of fine dining restaurants in Carmel and this was a throwback to professional old school service. The food impeccable with detailed attentive service!

    The food is excellent and the white table cloth service presents a special meal. The ambiance is upscale. I would appreciate that Perbacco would serve bread on the table for NO charge.

    We went during restaurant week and had a very good experience. Our waiter was outstanding, knowledgeable, & personable. He had a great knowledge of barolos and Barbaresco wines as he was from Italy. The food was excellently prepared and the portions were just right. Also not too much salt. The only bad experience was the waitstaff forgot to bring back our doggie bag and we didn’t realize it until we had walked out of the restaurant. Overall a very pleasant dinner.

    Food is delicious as always, I always bring my colleagues there when I’m over and never disappoints. The only issue is that everyone does that! Hahah so is a bit noisy to hold conversation.

    The food was exceptional! We had the salad with buratta and white and green asparagus. The hat shapped pasta with truffles and morel mushrooms was like a taste of Florence. Everything was perfect.
