Pulcinella (Toronto) Ristorante & Wine Bar (established 2010)

I would like to say...the special of the day...delicious and 2 glasses of Pinot Grigio an he charged me $100 on the credit card THEN he added a $15 tip!!! It was Sat November 15 - we sat downstairs and had the waiter with glasses and maybe a European accent...not sure about that part...I asked to see the wine list, because I couldn't believe 2 glasses of wine were $64!!! I stupidly paid before asking for the winelist.. then
I questioned him and he told me that he couldn't reverse the charge and start over again...he told me he accidentally charged me for another glass of wine that he gave to another person in our party. Then he said I should ask her to give me the money for the incorrectly charged glass of wine!!! I said I would not do that, how could he suggest i ask someone else in the group to pay me!!!
Anyway, at the end of it all, I ended up paying $115 for $62 worth of food and wine! He ripped me off!!!
I can't believe it!!! I don't even know what he did to the other people in the party....he is deplorable.
I want this charge reversed!!!
Adding to this review. The manager contacted me and reversed the over charge. Apologized and said he would speak to the waiter. I would go back again...just not have that waiter!

Very warm inviting atmosphere. Tony our waiter is always pleasant and engaging. He makes the experience even more enjoyable. Our food has always been top notch. Just like mamma would make it gives you that home cooking feeling like your mom is in the kitchen. I highly recommend Pulcinella for any occasion.

My friend and I had a wonderful experience tonight at Pulcinella Ristorante. The ambiance is intimate, elegant and spacious. Our server Tony was very helpful, welcoming and attentive to us. We enjoyed the Hugo Spritz, and we had the summerlicious menu which was fantastic! We chose the Como and Amalfi appetizers, the riviera main dish (chicken Milanese with a fresh salad topped with Parmesan cheese) and for dessert, we had the tiramisu and limoncello cheesecake. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our dinner and will definitely return soon. Thank you!

Ordered the Diavlo pizza and lobster ravioli. Food was average. The pizza was very cheesy and wet. I would not recommend. The crust was very soggy. The lobster ravioli was also average. The edges of the pasta were undercooked and the overall dish was salty.

We had a wonderful time here, with very good food, on an extremely busy Friday night. The service though, was truly amazing. All the staff seemed very caring and attentive. Our waiter, Antonio, really did an incredible job of turning such a busy and bussling dining area into a very comfortable dining experience. It really stuck with us - the way he carried himself with such warmth, professionalism, and ease. He made us feel genuinely welcome and taken care of, without ever seeming rushed, despite him being off of his feet! It really elevated the whole evening.
