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.

    Excellent Pizza well served with an efficient friendly waiter. The place was buzzing so it could be described as noisy.

    Though the dessert was fantastic (tiramisu and the pudding), the meal was just okay. I had pesto fettuccine, nothing special and my daughter had marghereta pizza which was very blackened. Service was great, but not sure if we’ll return.

    The server didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. 100% disinterested. Service was very slow.

    Great food. Huge portions and reasonable price compared to other good Italian restaurants. Pizza was very good but the Arancini stole the show!

    We booked a family dinner here, last minute on a cold Tuesday evening. The staff is always warm and welcoming, the appetizer meatballs arrived in record time to keep our grandson happy as we sat down and gathered. Jamie was an exceptional server and we enjoyed all our choices of pizza and wine. Thanks!!

    We had the lasagna which was delicious. The service was a bit slow, but it was a busy night so thst’s understandable. Our server was very good and apologized for the delay. It was noisy, again because it was busy, so I would have preferred a little less noise to facilitate having a conversation. Overall, it was very good and I’ll go back again.

    Such good italian, awesome place for valentine’s day! Only critic would be the bruschetta - I bit into mine and had a mouthful of flour from the outside of the bread so I just took the toppings off and ate those (which were delicious!) The pesto pasta was so good but we were stuffed so I took it home and it was the best midnight snack!

    We really loved what we ordered: Caprese salad, Arancini, Veal Tortenelli and the Crudo (pizza with panceta). I had been coming to this place for personal and organization events and they had been consistently amazing. It was my gf's first time and she was impressed as well. Our server was excellent. She is the calm in a hectic surroundings (it was Valentine's when we were there). We always sat together so she moved all of the utensils on the opposite side for me.
