Pasta Da Pulcinella

Second time I’ve been here, the first time was an amazing experience. This time our server basically ignored us, she didn’t benne know our food had already been brought up and done with, she came by the table to tell us she would go “check on our ravioli” probably realizing what happen she came back up with desert menus. We sat here waiting to order desserts for over 15 minutes while we watched her drink her glass of wine behind the bar. When she finally came to get our order! Food was excellent!

This restaurant is located in midtown Atlanta in what appears to be a renovated home surrounded by tall buildings. There is a small parking lot in the back, as well as other parking options nearby. Seating is available on two floors inside, and there is outdoor seating out front. We chose to sit upstairs on a Saturday evening. It was very noisy and hard to hear others at our table. I also noticed that there is a separate room available for special occasions. The evening I was there a retirement party was going on. The menu is varied with signature Italian dishes (although no lasagna) and some very creative dishes such as the Pumpkin Ravioli which I enjoyed. Portion sizes are small here. My son ordered the Chicken Cannelloni and received three skinny cannelloni which he downed in two minutes and left wishing he had ordered something more filling like one of their flatbread pizzas. Same situation with the Lobster Ravioli. All-in-all a nice restaurant with good food but don't go when you're starving!

Very cute place very creative. Almost looks like a house and there wasn’t a spec of dirt on the floor. the employees were very nice the bread was amazing and they gave you all these sauces to mix and get the best taste. The pasta was very good tasted like the handmade pasta I ate in Italy. All in all the best pasta place in Atlanta.

TASTY ENCOUNTER This midtown Italian restaurant is housed in a two-story bungalow that gives you the immediate feel of a romantic hide-away. But to go to ambiance for just a second, the first floor was enhanced with background music that set the mood. Unfortunately, our dining experience was on the second floor, which for some reason, didn’t have the music piped in. Instead, the hardwood floors and high ceilings resulted in bad acoustics and a continuing array of background noises from people pulling out the chairs, plates being placed on tables, the clickety-clack of high heel shoes, etc. This evening’s delicacies were the fried calamari appetizer, Pulcinella salad, lobster ravioli entree, penne pasta with shrimp in a smoked salmon sauce, and 2 desserts: chocolate layered cake and the limoncello cake. The fried calamari was superb, well seasoned, and coupled with the tomato caper sauce. The Pulcinella salad met our expectations. The lobster ravioli, however, was a bit of a surprise. It looked delicious, but the lobster was minced so finely that you could barely taste it. The shrimp in the smoked salmon sauce was tasty, though we had to add some seasoning. Important note: Pulcinella prepares their pasta al dente, which delivers a fairly firm texture and is, as purists put it, the way pasta should be prepared. If you like your pasta less firm, be sure to request it “well done.” Overall, a tasty encounter, with some drawbacks as described.

This place offers a cozy atmosphere with stellar food! It’s located inside a converted house with a lovely outdoor patio. If you park at the Moxy Hotel you can get cheaper parking by validating your ticket at the restaurant and it’s only a short walk away. We got the crispy calamari and the tortelli di mele, I would highly recommend both dishes!

My daughter picked this restaurant on a Saturday the day before Mother's Day. Neither of us had been here before and wanted something new. We took an Uber to Midtown from East Point. We almost missed the place because it is nestled between office buildings on West Peachtree. We made the reservation same day with no problem. When we arrived we was given the choice of sitting inside or outside. It was a lovely day outside but I decided I wanted to sit inside as my first experience. Our server name was Joe and he was very pleasant and patient. This was our first time dining at this restaurant. The restaurant is very intimate which is a plus. Whether you bring a date or family, the atmosphere will work just fine. Our choices for dinner: Bruschetta: Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, shiitake mushrooms and eggplant componata on croutons. Crispy Calamari coated in egg white breading, served with tomato caper sauce. Caesar Salad Traditional Caesar dressing with shaved Reggiano and croutons. Chicken Parmigiana, Sauteed lightly breaded chicken cutlet with tomato basil sauce and fresh mozzarella, served with Tortellini Al Pesto. Pork Milanese, Pan roasted breaded bone-in pork chop with roasted potatoes, garlic spinach, grape tomatoes, caper berries and lemon butter sauce. Also we had cheesecake for dessert and Lemon Drop martinis. I will say I have never had capers like this before. They were a little sour but was a nice balance to the meal. The pork chop was nice and juicy. It was more than I could eat in one sitting. All in all the place was lovely and very accommodating. This is another place where you can local residents come here often. Very friendly spot.

This place is an amazing hole in the wall in Midtown. It’s in the corner of the area, a quiet quaint place. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is phenomenal, especially given the price. I highly recommend the Lobster ravioli, they do it in a way I’ve never tasted before. Dessert was delicious, and the overall ambiance is a great change of pace from the city area. Highly recommend as a nice dinner spot.
