I recently had one of the best dining experiences of my life at Pulcinella Toronto, located on Lake Shore Blvd., just east of Brown's Line.
The decor was beautiful, the atmosphere was amazing, the service was top notch, and the food was delicious. Music was provided by a dude with an acoustic guitar, singing softly in Italian.
We ordered a 20 oz rib eye steak (it was the special) and butternut squash ravioli with pancetta and maple syrup sauce. The ravioli and mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had. The steak was incredible. Everything was meticulously plated. Even the little pieces of ravioli were arranged perfectly.
The chef came out ask how we liked the food, which was a nice touch.
The drinks were also great, as was the dessert.
About the place... They now occupy two storefronts. One side is the main dining room. The other is a new, upscale bar. There is another dining area downstairs for private functions. It has it's own bar. There is also a patio.
I can't recommend it enough.
The only downside is I forgot the leftover steak that we had wrapped up for our dog. Next time...
Awesome food. The atmosphere is fantastic with the soft guitar strumming and Italian singing. Service was excellent, highly recommend for everyone.
Best restaurant in the area.. Best place around Long Branch and Mimico. Great italian food. Great service and the room is classy. I highly recommend
Summerlicious. Great vibe in this restaurant, excellent quality Italian and reasonably priced. Service was great, a bit of a wait for food but you're not at Boston Pizza.. This area needs more restaurants like Pulcinella.
Working the restaurant buisness is my job. I have done professional reviews for over 170 restaurants in the gta. After having a so so first experience at pulcinella my second visit was truly wonderful. Even though we had a rocky start in regards to our food the manager Salvatore (adored himt see how with a little guidance anyone could not be marveled at such a wonderful place. Thank you again Salvatore, ciao;)
Nice Dining Experience for a Date. I took my girlfriend to Pulcinella based on a recommendation from a neighbour. I believe the owner was playing the guitar and singing in Italian in the background while the patrons enjoyed their dinner.
Overall we had a good time and what we ordered was good. We'd go back for another dinner date.
Gem. Pulcinella never disappoints. We have been there a dozen times and the food and service are always excellent. Romantic, yet homey. Absolutely love the entertainment. The guitar player always brings us a smile when he serenades our table.
Great Date Spot. From the moment we walked in the service was great. They were friendly and prompt. We were suggested a great white wine and the meal was excellent. The ambiance was amazing, they even had a guitar player stroll through the restaurant which I thought was great atmosphere for a date. The decorum is fancy but you dont feel out of place in any attire, it has a warm, homey feel to it. Highly suggest it for any couples first date.
Great Food .... We've been to Pulcinella several times and have always tried their specials; never disappointed.
Great service and ambience!
On this last occasion we over indulged; the only eye opener was the price of the gamed meat (ostrich) - if we knew upfront, we may have passed.

Mario and Fredico - thank you for the warm greeting and service, as always!
Great atmosphere and food to match. Been there twice recently and the food and service were excellent both times. Reminds me of a typical trattoria you'd find in Italy.

Great food, service and decor!. Went to Pulcinella a week ago with a group of friends and loved it. Greeting was prompt and friendly. The waitress greeted our table of 6 with bread and antipasto immediately and assisted my husband with picking out a couple of fantastic wines for the table.
We started off with antipasto for 4 (a great selection of Italian meats and cheese) along with the calamari and the non traditional caprese salad. Appetizers were beautifully presented and tasted even better! My husband and I loved our main courses of the pasta special bolognese and the bison tenderloin. Both were very different dishes, but melted in our mouthes! Our guests loved their selections as well. For dessert, we tried the platter of several different desserts for the table which included mini creme brulees and pannacottas: delectable!
Service was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. You can tell there is a lot of care and detail that goes into this place from the food, service and decor. We can't wait to go back!
