Review Pearl - Torquay

Cosy, modern decor seating around 25 and serving Italian inspired pasta dishes. Great service and food. Rich and hearty flavours prepared in an open kitchen by a single, obviously talented, chef. Worth booking ahead to ensure you can get a table. The owners apparently also own "The Stoop", another nearby restaurant.

Amazing authentic Italian restaurant in Torquay. I have dined in Italy and this would have to be the best pasta in Australia by far and a very close second to Rome! The Oysters were divine and the olives too. We had Fettucini with Roasted pumpkin and Pappardelle with beef. The meals were so fresh, very filling but didn't leave us feeling heavy like some pastas can. Great service, a real gem in Torquay!

If they had option more that 5 that’s what they deserve. These chef is like an artist....every single food we ordered is better than the other one.....best Italian place across Australia hands-down

Outstanding Italian. I would travel quite a distance to experience that Lamb Gnocchi again. Menu changes weekly, but it wouldn't matter, the food is superb. Service is excellent, nice wines. Wish this place was my local.

In the first instance I was unsure if I would enjoy my meal at Pearl. The menu obviously changes regularly and did not have a huge selection. But Wow! Seriously good food. I am a trained cook and did not expect to eat some of the best Italian food I have ever had in Torquay. Perfectly balanced flavours accompanying beautiful fresh pasta and allowing the pasta to be the hero of the dish. Garlic bread was faultless. This is what garlic bread should be. This restaurant is a perfect example of putting forward a modest menu with a handful of varied dishes, but where every dish is exceptional. Nice ambience, prompt and friendly service and a very good Chef. Thankyou for the experience.

Awesome lamb pasta & garlic bread with fresh herbs & local garlic. So good had to get it 2 nights in a row. Highly recommend if you like great pasta

This pasta place is amazing!! Great service, great drinks, perfect pasta (with a veggie and vegan option). We had such a lovely evening, what a little gem of a place ⭐️

Great local Italian restaurant. They cook with passion and it shows through in the food. Took my two kids there and they were very invested. Will be telling others about this place for sure. The gnocchi was special.
