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.

    I celebrated my birthday at Orchard and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning — filled with greenery and warm lighting, it felt like dining in a luxurious indoor garden. The food was creative and delicious, and the service was attentive and kind. Perfect place for a special occasion. Highly recommend!

    Had a great evening with friends. Food really good especially the potatoes. We had lots of dishes and all was good. We had the steak, green beans, carpaccio, and caprese salad. The only complaint is the wine list. It’s just not great and everyone at the table had the same feelings. We do drink k a lot of wine.

    It was our first time in the restaurant. We made our reservation 2 months in advance. Outside the restaurant we were met with the delicious smell of grilled food over a wood fire. Everyone was professional, polite, and helpful. Our server Samantha was outstanding in helping us decide the dishes that would work best for us. As a party of 4 it 2 people had dietary restrictions. The most attention and detail working with the kitchen our server assisted us through the entire evening. Amazing food! Delicious and adapted to our diets perfectly. We can’t wait to go back
