One of the best Italian restaurants! We’ve both eaten here several times through the years but just now adding a review.

Had wanted to try this place for a while but was underwhelmed. The pizza was a bland and the dough was a bit undercooked. The meatballs were also under seasoned and had a weird texture like frozen meatballs. The fried ravioli and marinara were delicious, but probably not enough for me to order again. We did order this as take out… maybe in house is better?

A great little Italian restaurant off the beaten path with excellent food and exceptional service. We thought we would try something new and this was a pleasant surprise. Harrison was a great waiter and was knowledgeable about the menu. It was a pleasure to see a young person that genuinely loved his job and it showed. He was cracking jokes and singing out loud, just making the most of his work and that’s something you don’t see with this younger generation these days! The selections he recommended were fabulous. My wife had the baked zitti and I had vegetables pasta with meat sauce and peanut butter chocolate cake for dessert. I enjoy finding places like this because I feel like we stumbled across a well kept secret. But now that we know about it we will return.

Love the food here. Cute Italian family style restaurant. There’s plenty of seating and parking. You are greeted with a smile as soon as you walk in and sat promptly. I love the vodka sauce here and my son likes the variety of pizza.

Pulcinella’s used to be wonderful, but now there is a new owner as of 1-2 years ago, and the quality and cleanliness has really gone down. They serve leftovers of pasta dishes until they are all sold before making fresh ones. The same thing is done with the bread. It’s hit or miss because you never know if your food will be fresh that day. All along the windows is very dirty. It’s just not appetizing or pleasant to look at it. I pointed it out to the owner, and he became very angry. He was terribly rude. I no longer recommend this restaurant.

This place was amazing. It’s the best bread I’ve ever had. The gnocchi in pink sauce was delicious. I’ve been craving it since.

The food is excellent! I was definitely skeptical at first but I am impressed. Staff is very friendly and polite. I would have liked to have a proper cloth napkin or updated cups. Overall would order here again.
