The Executive Chef
Chef Anthony Rinaldi’s culinary odyssey began the day he decided to leave the mean streets of his youth in Brooklyn and make his way into the temples of Manhattan's fine dining. Maintaining a daunting seven-day-a-week schedule that he still holds to, Rinadli attended the New York Restaurant School by day and spent his nights as a garde-manger at the fabled St. Moritz hotel. He then went to Windows of the World, learning new concepts and techniques and moving up the line. Never content to stay in one place, the ambitious young sous chef continued his ascent, first at Danny Meyer’s swank Eleven Madison Park, where he absorbed the nuances of new American cuisine, and then mastered the fine art of fusion cooking. After a stint at downtown Soho’s shrine to seafood, Aquagrill, he was recruited by the Midtown Executive Club to be their executive chef. In the three years he was there, he was twice awarded first place at the Roosevelt Hotel Culinary Awards.
Completing his journey, Chef Rinaldi has returned home to Brooklyn, where he’s pitched his tent as executive chef at popular The Pearl Room in Bay Ridge. Bringing all his experience to the table, he dazzles his clientele with such superb dishes as pan-seared Nova Scotia halibut with lobster / mascarpone risotto, slow-cooked osso bucco of lamb in a decadent balsamic / au jus demi-glace, and succulent French breast of chicken with orange / cranberry chutney.
The very best that Manhattan’s fine dining has to offer is now at The Pearl Room, and the proof is in the tasting.
Reviews
Zagat Review
The Bay Ridge “in crowd” favor this Manhattan-type “seafooder” which proffers ”excellent” food, “eager-to-please” service & “swanky” setting with fireplace & garden, it’s a great singles spot that also works for romantic dates and should things progress further, family gatherings.

Allen’s 5* Corner
Five stars is an injustice to Bay Ridge’s number one restaurant. The Pearl Room offers spacious seating areas, including a beautiful bright enclosed garden area. Now for the food! As an appetizer, we selected the Cold Antipasto Platter: an enormous helping of olives, roasted peppers, Genoa salami and chunks of fresh provolone with artichoke hearts and a delightful eggplant salad.
Now for the entrees! At the suggestion of our waitress, we opted for the seafood linguini. The pasta was topped with mussels, calamari, half a lobster, scallops and shrimp in a light tomato sauce. My dining companion, not a big seafood lover, was not disappointed in the least with his selection, the Pork Chops. As the name indicates, the Pearl Room is noted for its seafood, but it offers a tempting list of veal, chicken, steak, as well as a vast array of pasta dishes. With such enormous portions, dessert may seem like a chore, but one well undertaken. The pastry chef has created a Fried Ice Cream - a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream the size of a softball covered with banana bread and topped with swirls of caramel sauce….a decadently delicious conclusion to a delectable meal
The Pearl room is open 7 days a week for lunch, and I can’t think of a better place in Bay Ridge - or all of Brooklyn, for that matter - to enjoy a business lunch. Ask to take home a catering menu for that special event. Truly, five stars doesn’t do the Pearl Room justice!
