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.

    My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine’s day and got their Valentine’s Day menu set. The zucchini salad and scallops was a delicious way to start the evening. The prime rib main course was delicious. And finally the chocolate crunch dessert was the best way to end our date. Will definitely be back!

    We really loved what we ordered: Caprese salad, Arancini, Veal Tortenelli and the Crudo (pizza with panceta). I had been coming to this place for personal and organization events and they had been consistently amazing. It was my gf's first time and she was impressed as well. Our server was excellent. She is the calm in a hectic surroundings (it was Valentine's when we were there). We always sat together so she moved all of the utensils on the opposite side for me.

    As always food was amazing. Portions are the right size and ingredients taste fresh. I would rather not be seated next to the bathroom... but it was Valenti es so we were lucky to find a table!

    Really enjoyed our first visit to Vero Bistro. The food was excellent, and our server was courteous and professional. Really appreciated the restaurant recommendations for our upcoming visit to Italy. Would have preferred to get our main courses a little quicker, but it was a busy night, so it wasn't a major issue. Looking forward to trying some of the other items on the menu on our next visit.
