Perla di

Perla di is a seafood restaurant on the Vaniköy shore in Üsküdar, where Italian and Turkish plates face the Bosphorus from Vaniköy, Üsküdar, Istanbul.

The room keeps a low waterfront profile, tables angled so the strait stays the principal view; the kitchen moves between Italian coastal technique and Turkish fish traditions, working Marmara and Black Sea catch without theatrical garnish or borrowed drama from the avenue above.

Oggusto filed the opening, and the Instagram handle perladivanikoy is the live camera for hours and seasonal shifts. The room is why you go, and the street is why it feels like Istanbul.
