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.

    The food and service are always consistently great. Knowledgable staff. The store is an extra special add-on which I’ve used and it’s great. Just trying the coffee for the first time and it’s delightful. Overall, absolutely divine

    Unfortunately we waited over 2 hours for our food. The server began avoiding eye contact with our table because the wait was so long. No one came to apologize for the wait. Tables that seated way after us were getting their food. While we waited the server didn’t ask my kids if they needed refills. When our food finally arrived (5 people) 3 of us ordered pasta and it was hot and tasted good. 2 ordered pizza. 1 pizza was burnt to a crisp. The other soggy. The server came to ask 1/2 way through us eating how the food was, we shared that the pizza was burnt but did not want to wait 2 more hours for a replacement. He did not return to our table again. We had no compensation on the bill for the pizza and zero acknowledgement from management that we had waited 2 hours or more for our food. We were there for a birthday celebration. This wasn’t acknowledged by the restaurant. Usually a nice touch when it’s stated on the reservation. Overall a very disappointing experience.

    Sat outside on the spacious patio with umbrellas for shade. All 3 of us had the 3-course lunch special where you pick 1of2 appies; 1of2 salads; and 2 of 5 or 6 pastas. Great value, and delicious 👍👍👍
