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.

    My wife and I came here for a date night and it was excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended an alteration to a menu on the drink that was excellent. We came for happy hour, and also ordered off the main menu, which is the best of both worlds from the tartare, to the oysters, to the duck breast, and the steak ribeye. Everything was delicious and we couldn't have asked for more!
