Executive Chef Domenic Tudda spent his childhood years learning of Italian cuisine while his family owned and operated Stromboli's restaurant in Calgary. He furthered his education by undergoing extensive culinary training in Italy and has been able to continue his parent's legacy of bringing unique and incredibly authentic Italian dining to Calgarians. One of the most revered of these ventures is Ristorante Pulcinella, where Domenic first earned distinction when his international training crossed borders and entered Calgary in the spring of 2006. One of the few APN (Associazione Pizzaioli Napolitani) certified pizzerias in the world, Domenic has been able to showcase his culinary skills, incredible wine knowledge, and passion for Italian cuisine to provide Calgary with a truly artistic, original and delicious experience not soon to be forgotten. Certainly not your classical North American pizza, it's definitely different, but definitely delicious.

We had not been in since they renovated about 6 months ago. Very welcoming interior, well designed to break up noise. A mix of booths, tables, and bar seating. The chairs all have well padded seats. A nice repreive from the many places with minimalist metal/wood furniture. Our group of 4 all ordered different items off the happy hour and regular menu. The kitchen got them out quickly and they were all very tasty. Good value on the Happy Hour and Regular menu. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we stayed for "Trivia Night" which was well orchestrated and a lot of fun. Not as noisy as Earl's up the street and a better standard of servers.
