About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Executive Chef Domenic Tudda spent his childhood years learning of Italian cuisine while his family owned and operated Stromboli's restaurant in Calgary. He furthered his education by undergoing extensive culinary training in Italy and has been able to continue his parent's legacy of bringing unique and incredibly authentic Italian dining to Calgarians. One of the most revered of these ventures is Ristorante Pulcinella, where Domenic first earned distinction when his international training crossed borders and entered Calgary in the spring of 2006. One of the few APN (Associazione Pizzaioli Napolitani) certified pizzerias in the world, Domenic has been able to showcase his culinary skills, incredible wine knowledge, and passion for Italian cuisine to provide Calgary with a truly artistic, original and delicious experience not soon to be forgotten. Certainly not your classical North American pizza, it's definitely different, but definitely delicious.

    Been to this restaurant alot and have always enjoyed it. Was disappointed this evening. The food was good but took a long time to arrive and in the process the communication from the staff was poor. It started with the wine - our server had trouble opening the bottle and eventually said "I'll get another bottle" but returned to the table with the bottle uncorked. To us it did not appear that she came back with a "new bottle" as she arrived with it opened and no cork.... The wine was fine, but the process failed. If you are going to say you a bringing a new bottle - then do that. We then received our starters and a starter for another table... we had to flag down staff to let them know we received food that was not ours. - no explanation and we really did not get an apology. Then we waited for our main course that felt like an eternity.

    My mom was in from Toronto, and had never been! She said it was the best bruschetta she has ever had. Everything is super good, always.

    From the time we walked in the restaurant, we were treated so nice. Mike was awesome. It was refreshing to have an experience, attentive and likeable server. The food was fresh and tasty. This was one on the best dining experiences I've had in Calgary in months. I'm glad I went back, after all this time and next time, i wait wait as long to return.

    We would like to thank so much Josh E for going above and beyond for us on our special dinner. We haven’t met so caring, attentive and respectful personnel for so long in the city. All our respect and gratitude to this person! He made our birthday really special.
