Pulcinella - Calgary

I went for my friend's birthday. It was my first time ever. I love Italian food. The food is amazing and very authentic. I got the lunch special for $17 you can get a 3 course meal (including an appetizer I got arracini, a salad I got the arugula and fennel salad and a pasta I got the pappardelle di bosoco its a broad fettucine pasta with wild mushrooms). I would highly recommend this place for anyone that wants to try authentic Italian food.

We had guests from Los Angeles, so we brought them to Pulcinella for dinner last night. The main issue we encountered was finding a parking spot, as the area was surprisingly busy on a Thursday night. Despite this, the food was excellent, although slightly expensive. $24 for a plate of tortellini may seem steep, but the portion size was very generous. The pizza was also exceptional. Overall, the food and service were great, with friendly and attentive staff. However, the major downside of this restaurant is the poor acoustics in the dining area. The noise level was so high that it was difficult to hold a conversation with someone sitting across from you. The echo and din were the worst I have ever experienced. This issue needs to be addressed by a sound expert. While some may enjoy the lively atmosphere, the noise level at Pulcinella was excessive, making it a challenge to communicate with friends. In conclusion, if you can overlook the noise, this restaurant is decent. The pasta dishes are on the pricier side, so sticking with the pizza may be a better choice. They also have a good selection of wines available.

The pasta is very fresh and tasty. Salads are also excellent. I found the service to be attentive and the atmosphere was perfect, not too loud.

This was our second visit here and had another great experience! The staff, ambiance and food here is wonderful. They have many vegetarian options for those who are looking! We ordered the Pulcinella pizza and the Spaghetti Pomodoro both were delicious! We shared both between two people and had to get some packed to go (the serving size is great! . Our waitress was attentive and very friendly during our visit which made the experience even better.

Came here for my sisters birthday we had a large party of 20 ppl including an infant and a toddler. Server was super organized and knew the menu well. Food came out pretty fast considering we had a large party on a busy Saturday evening. We did family style with a few of us as we wanted to try a variety of food. My favourite dishes were the portobello mushrooms, Arancini with cheesy mozzarella stuffed inside, gnocchi cotto e funghi pizza. Mussels were calamari were also good. It was hard finding parking but we managed to get a spot at the parkade across from modern steak. Great pizza spot for a night out with a large selection of cocktails and wine menu.
