A charming church converted to the best Italian restaurant in San Francisco . We were here for the Novemenber white truffle menu which George had it 3 times in one month. He loves it so much and had to take us here.
Acquerello has warm and family-like service. No wonder George kept coming back.Blood Orange Soda
Beef Carpaccio
Black Truffle Potato Ball
high acidity, typical of 1996 vintage. It was too cold and open up 1/2 hour later, Caramel nose showed up. After another hour, the nose turn sweet basil. Best Paul Pernot we've tasted.
2000 Leflaive, unfortunately it was corked. George's last bottle.
Grilled Walu over braised celery
clams and mussels in 'Acqua Pazza'
A wonderful butter fish with just the right thickness to bring out Walu's texture. Hint of acidity went well with Ramonet. Definitely avoid the ragu base though.
White truffle budino al parmigiano
White truffle tajarin
White truffle gnocchi
I love gnocchi and made my own special white truffle gnocchi.
Veal loin over creamy polenta
chanterelles and veal sweetbreads

Anise, cassis, jammy berry. Haut-Brion is warmer than Medoc. With 40% merlot, a smooth wine indeed.
We were adventurous and ordered a great bottle of Barolo.
Five months later, I still remember the experience. The nose of Band-Aid got stronger. We felt like back to high school at nurse station after a PE accident. Very interesting.
