Where should I start from? The worst welcoming, or the bad behavior of the owner?

Ok let me start off by saying I am not one to share a review…but this is completely necessary. Tonight was my first time dining here & I can’t wait to come back. The ambiance was beautiful…we sat outside and it’s such a nice area for outdoor seating. The staff is wonderful. And the food was AMAZING. This is hands down the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to.

Celebrated one of my good friends birthdays here and we had a pleasant time. The interior is very warm and intimate. The expo kitchen is very small but adds to the intimate feel

We booked this place a few months in advance. On the day of, they call and say “we are offering you an OPPORTUNITY to sit outside this evening” and we declined. When we get there, they sat us outside!! They were out of most of the items. The heater was broken apparently and some of the foods were cold!

Amazing, adorable hole in the wall! Apparently they’ve been open for 24 years and I feel like I’ve driven by a million times and never knew it was there! A really attentive and sweet person attended to us and everything was delicious. It’s a small menu, and I don’t think it’s posted anywhere, but they have a lot of good seafood, pasta, and meat dishes with a wine list. Highly recommended!

Rudest staff and one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Apparently not a one off experience unfortunately, many of my peers have had a similar or worse experience. If you were planning to go, you would be better off eating a bag of chips or a can of beans from the dollar store.

I cannot express how this is my favorite restaurant ever. The food is extremely fresh and i highly recommend trying their amazing desserts, especially the pistachio cake! Our server, I forgot her name, is an older woman with black hair, glasses, and an amazing loud personality that comes out vibrant, was marvelous. The menu is smaller than other restaurants, but is so much better. When first being seated you will be given a basket of bread with a side of oil oil and chilis, now this was so delicious. You cannot go wrong here! I cannot wait to come back.

This is not $$ restaurant. This should be $$$. Their calamari from starters and lobster ravioli from main course is top notch. Perfect wine glasses with the tasty wine. Dessert – cannoli at its best. The chicken main course could have been better, did not like it. But can not complain after tasting the seafood menu. A must try restaurant.

My company had a holiday dinner at Trattoria Pulcinella this evening and it was simply perfect. The atmosphere couldn’t have better. Perfect lighting and gorgeous dining room. The service was excellent and one of the owners, who was present, was phenomenal. Truly made us feel right at home. The food was excellent, from appetizers to my filet mignon, to the perfect cannoli for dessert. The wine, also excellent. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you!
