Description: Acquerello has been a tiny gem on the San Francisco dining scene for over a decade. Hailed as number two on its list of America's ten best Italian restaurants by Wine Spectator, the popular establishment is renowned for its superlative wine list and the Chef Suzette Gresham deft contemporary take on traditional Italian classics.

Entering the restaurant's dining room is like stepping into a painting. Pale yellow walls and original watercolors of Venetian scenes and Palladian villas are softly illuminated with Murano lamps, making patrons feel that they've been magically transportet to Tuscany.

Gresham's simple, elegant preparation of dishes from all regions of Italy have made her one of the most respected chefs in the city. She used to do the cooking at the acclaimed Donatello, but when she moved on to open Acquerello with partner and wine expert Giancarlo Paterlini, Donatello's promptly closed.
