Garbage taste for their pizza and they didn't even bother cutting it. I had to cut it myself in a hotel room which was super fun trying to figure out.

got the prosciutto and mushroom pizza. was delicious but the base couldve been cooked a bit longer. also got their arancini. food is good, no complaints here.UPDATE: downgrading from 4 to 2. I ordered from this place again and asked them to cook the bottom a bit longer since it was undercooked the last time. exact same thing, EXCEPT this time they put around half the amount of prosciutto. I even told them i gave them a good rating and i spoke politely with please and thank you.... and then they did the same thing, asked for it to be sliced but wasnt, AND they cut the meat portion into halfthis was an unpleasant experience. they can do better, especially when i told them the pizza was "phenomenal" aside from the undercooked base.FINAL VERDICT: Pizza is good, but could be better; base is undercooked. Dont ask for the base to be cooked a bit longer or you might, hopefully not, experience what i did.

Great food, great service, Meagan was a fantastic server!! Overall good experience but I must say it is WAY too hot in the restaurant which made dining in quite uncomfortable for us…

Decided to give this place a try and I was pleasantly surprised. My son and I just tried the pizzas but they were pretty good. Given that they have the traditional Napolitan wood burning oven , the pizzas are done in just minutes. They use San Marzano tomatoes and that makes a big difference in taste. I also liked the place it self. Chairs are comfortable and decor is nice. The little store is also a nice addition. Overall I really liked it.

Great food. The service was exceptional. The temperature inside seemed quite warm. The other people I was dinning with also agree.

Overall very good. I love the home made pasta. We had the pesto pasta a the noodles are delicious. I think it will be nice if they put a bit more capers to give it a better kick in taste. We also share the prime rib. It was very tasty but a bit on the tough side. We also share the Tiramisu in a cup. It was quite good and I prefer it to be in cake size. This is just personal preference. It was very nice and quiet and then they crank up the music around 6:30 and I think it was I bit too loud for conversation. However the music is great!!

We had a group of 5 and everyone enjoyed the food and wine. They have a huge wine selection, we shared salads appetizers and pizza - all was delicious. We never felt rushed or wanting. Highly recommend it

Food was so basic pasta uncooked not Al dente.So cramped and so loud, did not have a romantic valentines dinner. I was so disappointed with everything. I was there 8 years ago and it was amazing so I was expecting amazing and nothing was. Will not go again and told my friends not to go.

We have used Pulcinella to cater several events. They go above and beyond every time. The staff is professional, kind and interactive with the guests. The food is beautiful, creative and above all else DELICIOUS! Dom and Lisa take any and all stress out of an event with just one phone call. Amazing!

I really recommend that restaurant, I consider myself a lover of Italian food and gastronomy, I have tried the menu of many restaurants and I could say with certainty that Pulcinella is among the top of the tastiest meals I have tried. I recommend the spaghetti carbonara and the Arugula pizza.

Pretty good Italian food and very nice staff. The quality of the food has improved since last time I was there 7-8 years ago. One feedback to the restaurant is that the second floor doesn’t have much air circulation and gets a bit warm. The floor manager moved us to the main floor which was a lot more pleasant.

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Kensington . The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in our mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in a while .

Excellent Waiter and the food was really good. A great selection of wines and unique cocktails. Food tasted fresh and healthy and the dessert was very good. It is on the loud side but we still had a great time!
