Pulcinella

Had an amazing experience at Pulcinella! Went as a couple and the ambience was perfect — slightly old-school, but that’s exactly what gives it character and charm. The vintage vibe, especially the motorbike displayed inside, makes the place feel unique and interesting.The food was absolutely delicious. If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine, this is the spot. They serve true Neapolitan-style pizza, and you can really taste the authenticity in every bite.Our server was exceptional — he took the time to explain the menu in detail, which genuinely helped us choose the right dishes. That level of attention made the whole dining experience even better.They also have a small in-house store section that’s worth checking out. It features homemade cheeses and a selection of Italian produce, wh

After hearing this place had a stromboli Inn pizza pop up I was very excited to try it out. I've waited since it closed down years ago only to be disappointed by the pizza. Okay so the good news first, Lindsay the server was very good at her job and helping me select a wine to go with my pizza and it paired nicely. The one thing I came for was the biggest let down. I seen people all over enjoying there pizza and when I started into mine the dough was very soft, raw and uncooked. The toppings and sauce tasted good but undercooked soggy raw dough wasn't what I was expecting. I did send it back to get it cooked more but ended up giving the rest to my son as I'd had enough disappointment for one night. For a $40 pizza and $111 bill was expecting it to be much better or at lea

This place exceeded our expectations! Wonderful vibe and their service is very thoughtful so that you can just focus on having a good time. Great seating, attentive check-ins, and a good balance of professionalism and fun.The food was amazing! We could see a bit into what the chefs were making through the glass which made it feel authentic. I ordered Spaghetti alla Carbonara and my boyfriend ordered Crudo pizza and they both tasted so good. They were so well balanced and delicious.I also ordered the Carpano Negroni and it was very well-made. My boyfriend ordered the Cappuccino Aromatico and I have never tasted something like it, it was so great.5/5 experience overall and we will be coming back and recommend you give them a shot if you haven’t! They have a lunch special if that suits you.

Strolled in on a Friday evening and was immediately greeted and seated promptly, making me feel welcomed into the busy environment.I sat at the bar and ordered some calamari, it had a nice blend of spice which really brought out the flavours of the dish, would recommend as a starter or to share.The drink menu was extensive and unique so if you are looking some something different, this would be the place to go.

Orderer this floppy uncut pizza from Pubinella (as in pubic hair), it was great it showed up not even cut. You think a notable restaurant in Calgary would be able to manage to cut the pizza before boxing it. Not to mention that it was undercooked and floppier than a wet noodle. The chef probably can’t even cook those too. 0/10 wouldn’t even feed it to my dog.

Pucinella is easily my favourite restaurant in Calgary, and I keep finding excuses to come back. If you're looking for pizza that's as close to authentic Neapolitan as you'll get, this is the place. My usual order is the margherita pizza (make sure you ask for the fior di latte cheese—it makes all the difference), arancini, meatballs, calamari, and if you still have room somehow, finish with the Nutella pizza.

I am 50.years old have traveled around the globe. I have eaten in many restaurants in Italy and have been to Napoli and eaten the original pizza. This was a recommendation by a close friend and I can not be happier. The appetizer of bruschetta and calamari were fresh and light. The pizzas and ravioli were next level. Light fresh full of flavor and definitely hit the spot.

Pulcinella in Kensington is a great place for outstanding pizza and authentic Italian treats. Their pizzas are truly top-notch—crispy, flavorful, and just the way they should be. The ricotta cannoli are just as impressive: fresh, creamy, and always satisfying. An added delight is their charming shop stocked with Italian specialties—cheese, pasta, and more—making it impossible to leave empty-handed.

We go to Pulcinella fairly often and have never been disappointed. The staff is welcoming, accommodating and friendly. Our pizzas were awesome as usual! We chased them down with a cold beer but sometimes we choose wine from the great wine list. The restaurant has been beautifully renovated with new tables, chairs and recovered banquettes.

Our first experience in this fine Italian restaurant was quite enjoyable. The Portabella mushroom antipasti was excellent, so were the Cotto pizza and the Gnocchi! We concluded with an amazing Tiramisu and Cannoli. Only drawback, on a Friday, it was quite noisy - but that's to be expected of pretty much any popular restaurant!
