" The pizza was okay, but I've had better. It didn't wow me, just your average meal. It seems like a popular spot though. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. If I'm in the area again, I might give it another go but I wouldn't make a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to pick up takeout from Pulcinella's and was pleasantly surprised! The penne arrabbiata had the right kick of spice and the portion sizes were generous. The garlic bread was fresh and fluffy, complementing the pasta beautifully. Takeout was just as good as dining in, which is hard to find! Will definitely come back for more takeout in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Pulcinella's enough! The attention to detail in their dishes is impressive. The eggplant parmigiana was perfectly cooked, and the spaghetti had that homemade flavor. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I felt welcomed and would absolutely return for more delicious meals. Keep up the great work! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved dining at Pulcinella's! The gnocchi was heavenly, and the marinara sauce tasted like it was made from ripe tomatoes fresh from the garden. It felt like a little piece of Italy right here. Our server was friendly and made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a family meal. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Pulcinella’s after hearing good things, but honestly, I was a bit let down. The bruschetta lacked flavor, and my chicken piccata was just average. The service was friendly, but I felt rushed since it was quite busy. Maybe I will return to give it another shot and try the pizza which seemed popular among other diners. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Pulcinella's, but they fell short for me. My osso buco was tougher than anticipated, and the pasta was bland. The ambiance is nice, but when the food doesn't deliver, it overshadows other aspects. I appreciate that they were busy, but I left feeling dissatisfied. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong dishes.
