SPQR - San Francisco

A Northern California restaurant inspired by Italian cuisine and wine, SPQR is an acronym for Senatus Populusque Romanus and translates to “The People and Senate of Rome.” Led by Restaurant Director, Matthew Accarrino (2014 Food & Wine ‘Best New Chef’ and James Beard Foundation Award Nominee), SPQR is a culmination of hospitality, boundless creativity and classical training. The restaurant has earned a Michelin star every year since 2012.

The result is an intensely personal cuisine that is both technically polished and soulful; and which has garnered praise from publications such as Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Saveur, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times,  The San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco Magazine.
