" A lovely experience at Pulcinella! The pasta was beautifully made and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was both cozy and romantic, perfect for a night out. I appreciated that our server was attentive without being intrusive. My only wish is for a larger dessert menu! Otherwise, it's a fantastic destination for Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" After numerous visits, my heart is still set on Pulcinella! The pizza is a must-try. The crust is just the right amount of crispiness, and the tomato sauce is so rich! The last time I visited, I tried the lasagna, and I was blown away. It might just be the best in town! Highly recommend for both families and couples. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried Pulcinella for the first time last week, and we were impressed! The service was friendly, and the ambiance cozy. My son loved the cheese pizza, while my pasta dish was rich and flavorful. We also indulged in dessert, which was the cherry on top of a delightful meal. We will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked into Pulcinella, we felt a wave of warmth. The decor was simple yet inviting, and the staff greeted us with enthusiasm. Our meal was incredible—from the fresh bread and olive oil to the exquisite eggplant parmesan. Each dish was carefully crafted and tasted as if it came straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen. I was particularly impressed by their homemade pasta. I've been to many Italian restaurants, but Pulcinella stands out as a true treasure! " (*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*)
