Acquerello has been defining Italian fine dining in San Francisco since 1989. Located at the base of Nob Hill, the restaurant has held two Michelin stars since 2015.
Chef-owner Suzette Gresham has led the kitchen for 37 years, building a culinary identity inspired by Italian traditions. The menu follows the seasons and the best ingredients and products are sourced, such as Wolfe Ranch quail, Anderson Ranch lamb, and Rossotti Ranch veal. Over the decades, Acquerello has developed its own style, marrying classic flavors with innovative technique.
The wine program, developed over 37 years by Giancarlo and Gianpaolo Paterlini, focuses on Barolo and Barbaresco from Piemonte and includes the greatest wineries from every region of Italy.
The wine list has held a Grand Award from Wine Spectator since 2012 and is regularly a Global Finalist for awards from Star wine List and World of Fine Wine. Acquerello is home to one of the deepest cellars of Italian wine in the world and the largest collection of Champagne on the West Coast.
Acquerello's intimate main dining room seats 40 guests.
Private dining is available in the Gold Room, which accommodates up to 20 guests, and in the Wine Room, which seats 4 to 8. All theee rooms are available for milestone celebrations, corporate dinners, and romantic evenings.
