Decided last minute to have some pizza with my wife! We read the reviews on this place so it was a no brainer that we dine here. It did not disappoint! When we arrived (on a Monday around 6:45pm) it was full so we had to wait a bit. I recommend making a reservation even if it’s a Monday. The manager was super awesome though and made our wait worth while!Once we sat down we ordered and I have no complaints! Flavours were great and the staff was so awesome and attentive.Only downfall was that the bottom of our pizza was quite burnt. But, I didn’t complain because they were so great and I’d feel bad. We got it boxed up and when the server came with the bill, she informed me that the manager noticed it was burnt and took it off the bill! I didn’t expect that! I didn’t even complain and they took it upon themselves to make it right. Not many places will do that. The reason for this mistake is that they had someone new bring it out, who didn’t check the bottom as they normally do.Wasn’t a problem at all though, everything was still great. I hope to visit Calgary again and try more off their menu.Great staff who have integrity and pride in their work!

Pretty decent Italian food - my fav dishes here are the caprese salad (served with buratta as the cheese) and the pizzas!!The diavola pizza is amazing and the portions here are quite large.No kids menus and don’t have pepperoni but have enough of a selection to find something for everyone.Have been here quite a few times but today was definitely the best meal I’ve had there.They are currently doing LOUD renovations downstairs - even on the weekend so keep that in mind if you are looking for a quiet or romantic experience.Looking forward to coming back after the Renos are complete.

Our experience could have been much better. The level of service and the overall treatment we received left much to be desired.To begin with, despite the fact that there were empty tables on the patio, the staff refused to seat us, claiming that they were busy and we would have to wait for 15-20 minutes. It was frustrating to see half of the patio unoccupied while we were made to wait unnecessarily.Once we were finally seated, the ordeal continued. We waited for an excruciatingly long time— a whole hour— for a single pizza. To make matters worse, when the pizza finally arrived, it was far from satisfactory. Not only was it not properly rounded, but it seemed like no effort was put into its preparation.Throughout our visit, we felt disrespected, underprioritized, and overall ignored. The excuse given for the delay was that they were understaffed. Still, with a half-empty restaurant and everyone else getting their food promptly, it's hard to believe that explanation. How come it is our problem? Give a notice that pizza will take one hour, or make a note at the entrance. Not just pass by, why there were literally only us and one more table, when we finally received some attention, yay.It is disappointing to have such an experience at a restaurant that claims to offer quality Italian cuisine. The lack of professionalism and the disregard for customers' satisfaction were unacceptable.Plenty of other establishments in the area provide better service and a more enjoyable dining experience. Save yourself the frustration and disappointment by seeking alternatives.

Went to Pulcinella after a long time and we were so glad to rediscover this amazing restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. Their Arancini’s are THE best! Our server Giovanni was very sweet and accommodating. Wanted to try the chicken but it takes 1 hour to cook. Was disappointed to see that was the ONLY chicken option. Otherwise would definitely visit again soon.

Great location. I know this is a popular spot but I wouldn't go back. I got the Margherita pizza, hardly any cheese and a couple of tiny pieces of basil. The waiter came, I showed him the pizza and the lack of basil and the picture below was the fix. He gave me a small dish of basil. I did mention to the waiter when he asked if anything was to be boxed up that I didn't really like the pizza and it wasn't flavorful and he just gave us the bill. Not great customer service or food.

Maybe we went on a bad day or perhaps our taste buds were off, but neither of us enjoyed our meal despite the raving reviews that convinced us to try this place. The food lacked flavour and didn’t have quite the right taste and arrived cold. My friend got the lunch special and had to wait quite a while before her gnocchi was brought out.The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was pleasant and quiet (we went at 3pm on a Sunday). It had an adjoining market which was cute.

We went as a rather large group tonight (10+). Paul was our server and he was amazing! Always attentive and there before we even realized we needed something. The food was exceptional. Have to say my favourite was the Grilled Radicchio. 10/10 and will absolutely be going back!!

We had their 3-courses deal and a pizza for lunch. The appetizer and salad were interesting and worth a try, but I won’t order them again, since they weren’t that special. But the pasta and pizza were great.

Very delicious pasta. The appetizer was okay. The staff were super kind and friendly. The drink was good. Would come again. Their lunch menu for 21$ is very good, it’s difficult to get that much food at this price anywhere, very filling. We got there around 1:30pm so it wasn’t too busy.
