I went for my friend's birthday. It was my first time ever. I love Italian food. The food is amazing and very authentic. I got the lunch special for $17 you can get a 3 course meal (including an appetizer I got arracini, a salad I got the arugula and fennel salad and a pasta I got the pappardelle di bosoco - its a broad fettucine pasta with wild mushrooms). I would highly recommend this place for anyone that wants to try authentic Italian food.
We had visitors from LA, so we took them to Pulcinella for dinner last night ... biggest issue was finding a parking spot, for some reason the area was packed on a Thursday, night ... anyway, to make a long story short, the food was great, altho a bit pricey ... $24 for a plate of tortellini is a bit steep, but, they do give you a gigantic helping ... their pizza is also exceptional, very good ... in fact, the food is very good here and so is the service, staff were friendly and attentive ... however -- there is one big problem at this restaurant ... the acoustics in the room, are horrendous ... so bad, in fact, that if this place is busy, you will not be able to hear the person sitting across from you talk ... the noise/din/echo, whatever you want to call it -- the worst I've ever experienced in my life ... they really need to call in an expert and address this ... I dont know if it's a combination of roof/ceiling, or what, but man, it is bad ... now, I know that it is trendy to be in a place, where there is a din, and people are talking -- it makes the experience more exciting ... but this goes well beyond that ... as a result, the discussions with our friends was a disaster ... it felt like we were in a Jerry Seinfeld episode -- it was that ridiculous ... to conclude, if you dont mind the din, this place is OK ... pasta dishes are pricey, so I'd probably stick with the pizza ... good wine selection too ...
The pasta is very fresh and tasty. Salads are also excellent. I found the service to be attentive and the atmosphere was perfect, not too loud.
