This cozy Mediterranean eatery in San Francisco serves up creatively crafted pastas and seafood, all complemented by delicious cocktails and a vibrant atmosphere.
"This Richmond restaurant works well for a catastrophe that requires a luxurious bowl of pasta, frosty glasses of wine, and a salad that’s about 75% fried prosciutto—a.k.a. the trifecta for feeling better after a Monday from hell. And the lights are turned down to a perpetual low, so no one will see if a little tear or two escapes." - julia chen 1
"Pearl 6101 in the Richmond feels like a cozy neighborhood bar crossed with the plant and light-filled apartment we wish we had. This place always makes us feel at home whenever we settle in for the night with some cocktails and a bunch of small plates for everyone to share—like the seasonal crudo with strawberry and nuoc cham, the chicory caesar showered in fried prosciutto, and the must-order handkerchief pasta with white bolognese." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"A San Francisco neighborhood favorite serving Mediterranean seafood and pasta dishes like saffron-laced mussels and lamb ragu." - Ty Gaskins
"Pearl 6101 is our favorite spot in the Richmond for a glass of wine and a cute evening meet-up, even if you have to cross six neighborhoods to get there. The bar and restaurant keeps its lights at a constant romantic dim, and the space is usually filled with dates splitting white bolognese or solo diners becoming friends at the bar. Get the crispy prosciutto-filled caesar, a salad MVP." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"This cozy neighborhood restaurant from alums of sister spot Pizzetta 211 has become a citywide favorite, serving bright crudos; gorgeous plates of seared scallops; and most importantly, some of the best handmade pasta dishes in town — rounded out by excellent cocktails and desserts. Can’t-miss specialties include the handkerchief pasta dish made with white bolognese and grana padano and the Pearl martini." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
