 Named for the watercolors that line the walls, Acquerello's food is anything but delicate. Instead come here for rich representations of Italy's finest cuisine. The menu changes often, but if available, begin with a delicate Parmesan budino, a custard-like dish studded with spinach and zucchini, then move on to the warm salad of frisée and pancetta topped with a seared squab breast. Among the many pasta dishes is the Swiss chard and ricotta gnocchi tossed in brown butter and sage---the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine on a chilly evening. Filet of branzino served with a warm artichoke and potato salad thrills with its balance of delicate and savory. The 500-bottle wine list features a notable selection of Italian options as well as a number of premium California entries. Flummoxed? Co-owner Giancarlo Paterlini and the accommodating staff will help you choose. For dessert, the gold-dusted chocolate cake with toasted almond praline cream is a royal end to the evening.
