Perbacco is my #1 choice for an old-school, white-tablecloth meal with comfortable seats and correct service, the kind of place that’s an endangered species thanks to changing tastes. Traditional Italian food doesn’t get better around here. Great salumi, great pastas, great wine list, exceptional cheese plate. It always seems quiet to me.
La Ciccia is wonderful and $150 would go farther.
Flour + Water seems to me like a hipster bar with great food.
