SPQR
Italian
A slender Fillmore Street room where skylights and an open kitchen keep things bright despite how tightly packed the tables run. SPQR is a fine dining Italian with a California accent, meaning the handmade pastas get dyed with squid ink and cocoa and the menu shifts with whatever the season is showing off. Chef Matthew Accarrino has been here long enough that regulars treat the bartender like an old friend on reunion night.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Crespelle with pork belly
“The meal might begin with a crespelle with pork belly, fennel and persimmon, or a chicken liver terrina with rhubarb and wood sorrel.”
Michelin Guide -
Squid ink perciatelli
“Of course, choosing between house-made pastas like squid ink perciatelli with octopus cream and chili pequin or spinach pappardelle with mushroom and fried egg might seem challenging, but it's difficult to go wrong.”
Michelin Guide -
Lasagna
“Handmade pastas are pigmented and flavored with squid ink, herbs and cocoa, the latter worked into lasagna sheets layered with mushrooms, ricotta and black garlic ($33).”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Polenta custard
“The only downside would be missing out on an appetizer of polenta custard, wrapped in homemade filo pastry with pickled ramps and morels ($22).”
