Pulcinella

We arrived at the restaurant after lunch time. The place was packed! It took us a minute to find someone to get us seated however once we were at the pizza bar, the service was excellent. I had a glass of their house white blend. It was really nice. They have a lunch special that allows you to order to starters and a meal. I had the bruschetta the cucumber tomato salad. My main meal was the most delicious ravioli filled with butternut squash. The sauce was delicious, but the butternut filling made this meal truly outstanding! I have walked by many times before but I will never walk by it again 10 out of 10.

Upon the recommendation of a friend when we were visiting from out of town for a wedding, we ended up at Pulcinella. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive. Lindsay, our waitress, was absolutely incredible. She made us feel welcome, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything ran smoothly. The food was equally outstanding. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful, followed by a perfect margarita pizza. The lasagna was rich and comforting, and the butternut squash ravioli was a standout; delicately sweet and beautifully balanced. Every dish was clearly made with care and authentic Italian flair. Highly recommend Pulcinella for anyone looking for a cozy, delicious Italian meal with top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back next time we are in Calgary!

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Calgary. I come here every time I crave authentic Italian pizza. Staff is so friendly and welcoming…..and food is OMG!!!! Everything I’ve tried is amazing. My favorite is insalate caprese and Prosciutto E Rucola pizza and it has a mini market with Italian produce. Love this place and its vibe.

This is such a cute spot! It is cozy and full of life. I ordered the Fettuccine Al Pesto, it is delicious and absolutely worth the price. As for dessert, I got the tiramisu. I will come back again to try their pizza next time!

I was craving Italian food and after a quick search, came across Pulcinella and their menu. We were both intrigued by their use of grass-fed beef and pizza certification, so we stopped by for lunch. Service was great from the moment we stepped foot inside until we left. We were promptly greeted and a table was immediately setup for us. Our server was also friendly and made us feel welcomed. The gnocchi was the freshest and softest I've ever had and the tomato sauce paired well with it, though I would ask for the black pepper to be scaled back just a touch next time. The flavour of the chicken was pretty good, but we found the meat to be a bit dry. Our rib eye was fairly tender and was seasoned well. I was expecting it to be served sliced as we were sharing like steakhouses do, but it came to us whole. Potatoes and zucchinis were soft and flavourful. The big tongs provided for both proteins were unfortunately a bit cumbersome and awkward for the dishes. Overall, it was a good experience that will have us coming back to try more.

Great experience, we stopped in for a cocktail and app and left with manchego, large baguette, and a loaf of crusty sourdough! The whipped gorgonzola with prosciutto was absolutely amazing with perfect portions. We also enjoyed 2 cocktails and the total came out to about $100 including 20% tip and the take home groceries!!
