Executive Chef Domenic Tudda spent his childhood years learning of Italian cuisine while his family owned and operated Stromboli's restaurant in Calgary. 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. Certainly not your classical North American pizza, it's definitely different, but definitely delicious.

    Go again going to try out the patio in the summer. I fely our waitress could have been more attentive I don't like when I have to mostly pour my own wine. We sat with empty glasses and no wine near end of meal she could have made more of a sale had she been around more often. Nice touch of the bday card for my husband.

    This was an excellent choice for our annual tradition of going out to a nice restaurant on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious and the service was attentive without being overly done. We will definitely return in the future for special occasions.
