He furthered his education by undergoing extensive culinary training in Italy and has been able to continue his parent's legacy of bringing unique and incredibly authentic Italian dining to Calgarians. One of the most revered of these ventures is Ristorante Pulcinella, where Domenic first earned distinction when his international training crossed borders and entered Calgary in the spring of 2006. One of the few APN (Associazione Pizzaioli Napolitani) certified pizzerias in the world, Domenic has been able to showcase his culinary skills, incredible wine knowledge, and passion for Italian cuisine to provide Calgary with a truly artistic, original and delicious experience not soon to be forgotten.

    Loved the evening,service and food. Exceptional food. It was was busy which I love. Close tables make it feel very European but means the noise level is loud. Could use some sound dampening materials or group larger tables together to leave a twosomes area. All I all … excellent.

    Delicious food and unique and fun atmosphere. John was a very attentive and friendly server. Rachel was very helpful and kind to try to accommodate our large party last minute on a busy Friday evening; even though she couldn’t make it work. My fault for forgetting to book a reservation. A bit on the pricey side, but the ice cream and birthday treat for my daughter’s birthday was a nice touch. We went at 4pm on a Saturday and, in my opinion, this was the best time as it was not super busy or loud. Wasn’t a fan of the stools (except for the neat aspect of storage) because they were quite small and low, which was not ideal for my elderly parents. Overall, all 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Korilla’s. Thank you.
