Wonderful atmosphere and service. You do not need to be dressed up. We didn't care for the oyster artichoke soup too much because we mainly tasted dill, although the fried oyster were perfect in it. The cannelloni was AMAZING but small portion if you have a big appetite. The chicken cutlet and mushrooms was sooo incredible, HUGE portion. We shared everything so we were very very full. I will definitely go back!

Exquisite! My 1st time here, & the food was spectacular 😋 I had 3 courses, caesar salad was SOOO fresh, very different, w the shaved breadcrumbs, YUM. Seafood cannelloni was so delicate, light, just thin, fresh crepes with fresh crab inside, no heavy cream or cheese, topped w wood fired shrimp, a light sauce....OH MY STARS! 🤩 Tiramisu tasted like I was back in Venice, eating my fave tiramisu. Zen at the bar gave great service, great advice on menu....Everything was amazing! I'll be back!

Update! We dined again, this time for the special Brunch and we were blown away yet again by the ambiance, food, drinks and now the performance by Bella Blue! We enjoyed every single dish (we had a party of 7). You know the food is great when everyone excitedly passes around sample of their dish. Bella & Andy made us feel right at home with their casual hospitality. Our server (apologies that I forgot her name!) was wonderful & attentive without being overbearing. We cannot wait to return! I dined at Pulcinella with a friend and had the absolute best meal experience! The staff is so welcoming & made us feel right at home. We enjoyed sharing the small cheese board, bread service with warm & fluffy slices of focaccia dipped in olive oil. I had the seafood cannelloni stuffed with crab & topped with shrimp. Every bite was superb. We also were delighted by the featured special dessert pana cotta. Truly every bite of everything was full of flavor & fresh ingredients. I cannot say enough great things about this dining experience ❤️.

After asking a group of New Orleans natives about this and two other restaurants, this restaurant got hands down multiple thumbs up. My partner and my friend and I were visiting for the weekend and we decided to treat ourselves to a meal here on our first night. This place is lick the plate clean delicious. The service was incredible including helping us decide wine and drink orders to go with the food. My partner was encouraged to walk around the restaurant and check out all the clown stuff as he's slightly obsessed. One of the owners was at the door and was so friendly and welcoming and this restaurant definitely lived up to the friendly New Orleans vibe. Every time I visit New Orleans I like to try a new place and if it's worthy I will add it to my regular list. Pulcinella! is definitely on that list now.

The staff here are awesome. They go out of their way to ensure that your experience will be one to remember. The ambiance and the setting are amazing. The staff make you feel like you're attending a family meal. The cocktails were excellent. Now the food. My steak was slightly overcooked and over salted.
