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.

    The kaisandon was amazing - the variety of fish slices (perfectly layered on top) were so fresh. The house-made pickles and soy sauce were a perfect complement to the rice dish too. My friends ordered a salmon rice dish with a unique tea broth which they loved too. We went on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy. Parking was a little bit of a challenge though. Will be back one day to try the popular Omakase menu!

    We did the 7 course chefs tasting menu and we were not disappointed! The serving were just the perfect size so you didn’t leave stuffed but yet filling. Our host was extremely good and took care of the entire restaurant with grace and attention. We were constantly amazed with each course ! Our favourites were the lobster bisque, beef tartar which was served with a smoking glass vessel that gave it that extra flavour we’ve never experienced before as well as our final entree which was a perfectly done beef tenderloin! We were looking for a dessert wine and they had some incredible Port and a gorgeous French dessert wine. We will most definitely be back !!!
