" Pulcinella is a delightful Italian restaurant. The seafood dishes are fresh and flavorful, particularly the shrimp scampi! The environment is intimate and perfect for date nights. Although the wait staff was a bit busy, they still provided great service. I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulcinella is hands down the best Italian place I’ve ever eaten at! I’ve been coming here for years, and their consistency is remarkable. Recently, I had their signature pizza, which had a perfect crust and mouthwatering toppings. The garlic knots as an appetizer were a crowd-pleaser. The staff also remember my name, which adds a personal touch to the dining experience. I can't sing enough praises for Pulcinella! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulcinella offers an authentic Italian experience. The pastas are always fresh and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the bolognese sauce! The restaurant itself is charming and very well-kept. The service is friendly and warm, making every visit special. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I didn’t have the best experience at Pulcinella, I appreciate their effort. The service was friendly and accommodating, yet the food didn’t impress me as I expected. My seafood pasta was underwhelming; it could’ve used more seasoning and a generous helping of the seafood. Although others seem to rave about it, my visit felt very average. I’m open to giving it another try to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been meaning to visit Pulcinella for ages, and I finally did! It did not disappoint! The bruschetta was incredibly fresh, and the margherita pizza reminded me of summer in Italy! The ambiance was truly Italian, making me feel like I was dining in a rustic villa. The staff’s enthusiasm and prompt service definitely enhanced my experience. This place has become my new favorite spot for Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulcinella has become our go-to Italian restaurant! The flavors are authentic and remind me of my travels in Italy. The gnocchi melts in your mouth and the tiramisu is heavenly. We’ve been multiple times, and the service is consistently top-notch. There’s something special about the homely feeling when dining here, it’s a real gem in the heart of the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is certainly homemade and Italian-inspired, but I felt it could have been better. My experience at Pulcinella was good, but not exceptional. The ravioli was tasty, though a bit too heavy for my liking. Service was solid, but not outstanding. I think I expected something more authentic given that they focus on traditional recipes. Overall, a decent spot but not my top choice. " (*Curated Review*)
