Pearl Restaurant’s continued success rests with the dedication of father and son team Massimo and Massimiliano. Sicilian born Nonna Carmela offers a homemade influence to the menu. Her pastas are made on premise and fresh for every meal. The inventive, modern Italian cuisine is preparerd by Chef Marino. His roots in Rome, Italy are the source of inspiration and sophistication. At Pearl, locally sourced meats, fish, and vegetables assure freshness. Chefs do not use a microwave, fryer or a freezer. Thus, flavor nuances and complexity are never sacrificed.
