Great food at reasonable prices. Elegant but not too formal. Wonderful dinner with my family.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Fairly small, but vibrant setting. Excellent service. But, the food was even better - caprese salad was very good (excellent tomatoes); had the tortelli de mele as the main course - truly outstanding. Tiramisu to top it off which was great. Split meal with wife and there was plenty. Prices are extremely reasonable. All things considered, one of the best meals I've had in quite a while.

One of my favorite restaurants anywhere. The pasta dishes are amazing. The service is always excellent.

Food was excellent. Lobster ravioli was amazing. Our server Francisco did a wonderful job.

Excellent service! Our server was excellent. Food and drinks arrived in a timely manner. The calamari breading was crunchy but lacked flavor. I had the chefs special Bolognese made with Italian sausage and spinach pasta. It was very good and was a filling serving. My date had a chicken gnocchi dish which they didn't rave about. I tasted it and found it to be just ok. I wished for a bit more flavor. Our two cocktails (II Capitano and Flaminia) were excellent. I'd try it again. Valet parking available. Outdoor seating available.

Overall, I would recommend Pasta da Pulcinella. The atmosphere is warm and like being in someone's home. I had the Caesar salad and the lobster ravioli. The salad had more character than the usual Caesar salad, a good thing. The lobster ravioli was rich and yummy with a portion size that satisfied but did not overwhelm. I was too full for dessert. I took a star off because the service was a bit off. I told our server that we had an 8 pm show (our reservation was for 6 pm). Despite that, there were long pauses after we asked for the bill and after we put out our credit cards. We ended up leaving at 7:50pm, late for the show. Also, each time something was brought to the table--the drinks, salads, entrees--the items were given to the incorrect person.

The food was amazing. The service was amazing when you get to a table. Even with reservations you wait 20+ mins

Pasta da Pulcinella is our favorite restaurant in Atlanta. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.
Jill
The food and service was outstanding! My daughter and I enjoyed a girls night dinner. We had the complete experience with appetizers, entrees, desserts and coffee afterwards. Not one dish disappointed. Highly recommend for fabulous Italian food, amazing ambiance and phenomenal, attentive, and knowledgeable service. Will definitely be returning.

I absolutely enjoyed dining with my Partner, at Pasta da Pulcinella. Walking in the door, the host staff was friendly and well-spoken. For me, the dining experience begins at the door. The ambiance was very welcoming and our waitress was attentive, friendly, not overbearing with her check-ins and easy to converse with. My Partner and I were impressed with her remembering out orders. Both appetizers: my Calamari and his Mezzaluna Ravioli, were both very tasty and well-seasoned. Our dinner: my Risotto with Sauteed Shrimp and his Tortelli di Mele, were both highly enjoyable as well. Our overall dining experience was a 9.5/10. The only reason I scored a 9.5, is just wishing there were more gluten free versions of the dishes on the menu, due to living with Celiac Disease. I was able to enjoy the Calamari due to the egg white "breading." Otherwise, we had a wonderful time and will be returning very soon. I recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for great Italian food, in a great atmosphere, surrounded by Midtown's beautiful architecture. Looking forward to our return.
We had a fabulous meal! The only problem we had while dining on the porch, was the blinding reflection of the sun off the Google building. It was so bad that a stranger came over to give my husband his sunglasses. Need those see through shades that roll up.

Great food, great staff.. Shout out to Jackson at the bar that makes an awesome Movktail. And attentive, fun service from KO, our server. I can recommend the Raviolis Di Funghi and.Lobster Raviolis.with cream sauce. We'll be back soon. I just don't want to be seated in the smaller dining room upstairs. It was noisy and the AC vent was aimed right on our table. It was frigid. Try to get a table downstairs. It's got a warmer ambiance.

The Lunch Wine, salads and meals were absolutely delicious! Cole is an awesome person and we enjoyed talking with him also.

Hadn't been back since they relocated and unfortunately was quite disappointed in our Saturday night visit. Food timing was way off. We were seated and ordered before both our neighbors, yet they received their appetizers first. When we asked where ours was, our entrees were just coming out - and the waiter still insisted we eat the appetizer last (but didn't offer to comp us for it...seemed like a missed opportunity for guest recovery). Piccata was thin as paper and quite bland. I also found it highly annoying that when my wife asked to sub her side of pasta with grilled veggies, they charged us another $4 on an already overpriced plate. Is zucchini really more expensive than specialty pasta? Acoustics upstairs furthermore lead to a lot of unnecessary eavesdropping, especially if there is a loud table. Cocktails were great and the hostesses were very welcoming.
This visit was furthermore our chance to visit the restaurant in our consideration of hosting a private event there for 30 in a few months. I emailed the contact on their website. No response. Then I left a message. No response. Needless to say after our experience this place is off our list anyway. I miss the homey and personal restaurant it was before.

Maybe an off night, but the evening started with the hostess chowing down on a cheese plate and checking us in with a mouthful of food which really set the stage for an unfortunate experience. The food was unimpressive, and particularly the risotto was quite possibly the worst rendition I've ever tasted (it was basically porridge). The pear salad had massive slices of unripe pear with overly thick and chewy slices of prosciutto. The menus were worn out and dirty, and the wait staff was unprofessional (though friendly and accommodating). I've had better experiences here, but based on this most recent experience I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. For the price you can absolutely find better options.
Management needs to provide better training to the restaurant staff and the quality of food really needs to be stepped up if this place wants to stay in business.
