Fast service, incredible food. Love the pizza here. One of the better gluten free crusts I’ve had and I’m a big fan of the Caesar Salad. I’m an adventurous eater, but when I’m in the mood for comfort food I want familiar dishes. Some of the pizza places that try to be more “authentic” are so far removed from the American palate that I am left unsatisfied. This place does a great job working in a more old world style, while still satisfying my pizza cravings.

Hidden Italian gem. Visiting the DMV, I was referred here from a local. Pulicinella differentiates from any other restaurant I’ve been to as I was welcomed/greeted by the owner and staff. Theres limited seating capacity but it allows the staff to provide essential customer service to the guests. A great lunch date sitting on the patio with shade.

This is the second time I’ve been to this restaurant and it just gets better every time. I had the Chicken Marsala and Brad had the Chicken Parmigiana. The Marsala was the best I have ever had and if it wasn’t rude to do so I would have licked the plate! The sauce was perfectly prepared, the spaghetti that came with the dish was amazing and the spaghetti sauce was perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend!!

Service was fast and the folks there were really nice! You can tell they use quality ingredients and give you decent size portions. Got two appetizers. Unfortunately, I didn’t like their take on bruschetta but the bread was good. The meatballs weren’t bad either. We also got the lasagna and the Tuscan chicken over pasta. They were ok. However, I did really like the meat sauce and warm bread.

Tucked away for a wonderful Italian experience!! The food was amazing! Got the Tuscan Style Chicken & Ravioli Marinara. Sauce on the chicken was delicious. Service is fantastic. Although dining is a little tight it just makes for a cozier experience. Five stars for Pulcinella! I can’t wait until I’m back in town to go back!
