Your restaurant sounds lovely. That's why I booked it on your website. And I got a confirmation email from you the day before to "let us know you're coming." I responded. I showed up on time. And your restaurant was closed for vacation. Surely you need time off, but how hard is it to update the website so that patrons are not inconvenienced, as I was?! I planned the weekend around this reservation... and you were closed. Thoughtless and clueless on your part. I wish I had gotten to sample what many reviews rave about. I

Superb, authentic Italian cuisine with great pasta entrees and delicious appetizers. Especially enjoyed the warm artichoke hearts in lemon butter and the cacio e pepe. Servers were welcoming and professional. One of our best Italian meals in a long time.

Wonderful to be back after such a long time. So glad this little trattoria is still there! The food was very good, the wine excellent, and the service was exceptional.

We came at 5:30 with a small child, so the place was empty when we arrived. The food was great, and service was very accommodating. If you come with a child, bring a sippy cup — the restaurant doesn't have plastic cups with straws.

My favorite neighborhood restaurant. I had another superb meal. The ambience was great and I had a steak cooked to perfection. I am lucky to have many wonderful restaurants very near my home but Pulcinella is my favorite.

I love this little place. It feels like a family restaurant and it is, run by a woman and her daughter. The food is absolutely delicious, made from prime, very fresh ingredients that are worth tasting, and prepared in such a way that the tastes shine through. Trattoria Pulcinella feels like a beloved neighborhood spot, where people come to talk and take a break from the battles of the day. For me -- because it's pricey -- a meal there is a great treat, to be looked forward to and then remembered.

We have enjoyed eating at Pulcinella for over 30 years and hope to continue to do so. From the friendly welcome on through antipasti, primo and/or secondo while offering a nice selection of wines keeps us coming back.

Got immediately ill while eating here on Valentine’s Day years ago. The owner was rude and defensive. I’m not surprised to see the continued complaints about service here. Never going back.

Highly recommend this lovely restaurant. From the start, it was a very positive experience. The service and food were excellent and we would definitely return.
Nancy
A real gem! Excellent food in a quiet garden-like setting even in cold winter! We love this place.
The fiod was delicious. Always a wonderful presentation. Service was lovely and very attentive. It is a gem to have this place in the neighborhood.
Andrea
Everything is made to order and is delicious, the staff make you feel like you're invited guests in their home, the restaurant is cozy and beautiful. A perfect place for a great dinner with friends.

Family owned for 30 years, and Amanda has been there for 20. Perfect local spot (but tough parking for the non-local). The picata style artichoke hearts were a revelation.

Trattoria Pulcinella is my favorite local restaurant. This was a great meal. I had a guest and I wanted to please her. She had pasta with an amaretto cookie crunble, followed by profiteroles, and she told me afterwards that this was the best meal she had ever had. I had a steak cooked to perfection, Nick

A friend and I walked into the restaurant by chance really but I now understand why some reviews call it a hidden gem. We had been kicked out of La royal next door for taking too much time at the table. We wanted to finish our dinner and conversation. This is a family owned restaurant with a lovely owner and daughter. They were both super nice and welcoming. The black truffle risotto was delicious and the tiramisu authentic. Thank you for the lovely evening!
