[San Francisco, Financial District] Perbacco

From another recent meal at the bar:

Piastra Roasted Octopus ($16)
amorosa potatoes / fennel / poached veal tongue / ajioli verde

Off the appetizers section. The octopus was cooked perfectly - tender but still a little springy. Potatoes were fine, lacked salt but was good after putting some of the creamy aioli sauce on the outside on it. Don’t actually remember the veal tongue in this dish. Pretty rich - everything was sitting in a pool of butter.


Plin con Salciccia di Anatra ($22 for a large portion)
herb pasta filled with black truffle duck salsiccia / burro del pozzo / bonini 18 year balsamico

Duck sausage in agnolotti wrappers. The sausage inside was a little firm, had the consistency of potsticker filling. So this was like little mini truffle and duck flavored dumplings in a buttery rich gravy sauce, with a bit of sweet tangy aged balsamic vinegar drizzled on top to cut through the fat. Really delicious.
