Took a break from here after a few years of going regularly & returned a couple days ago to a disappointing experience. Consistency with service seems to be an ongoing challenge. A comfortable venue. The menus have lots of selection. They serve Napoleon style pizza, which we love, yet regret ordering when we do. The crust has an excellent texture but the sauce & toppings have little flavor. The pastas are much more balanced than the pizza & have a robust flavor. Once our food is ordered it usually comes out in good time. Waiter/ess who’ve served us are anywhere from efficient, attentive, friendly & engaging to abrupt, curt & avoidant. The service doesn’t seem to be impacted by how busy it is as we’ve had good experiences when it’s busy & poor ones when it’s slow. If the service was consistent we’d be happy to come here more often.
We had visitors from LA, so we took them to Pulcinella for dinner last night … biggest issue was finding a parking spot, for some reason the area was packed on a Thursday, night … anyway, to make a long story short, the food was great, altho a bit pricey … $24 for a plate of tortellini is a bit steep, but, they do give you a gigantic helping … their pizza is also exceptional, very good … in fact, the food is very good here and so is the service, staff were friendly and attentive … however — there is one big problem at this restaurant … the acoustics in the room, are horrendous … so bad, in fact, that if this place is busy, you will not be able to hear the person sitting across from you talk … the noise/din/echo, whatever you want to call it — the worst I’ve ever experienced in my life … they really need to call in an expert and address this … I dont know if it’s a combination of roof/ceiling, or what, but man, it is bad … now, I know that it is trendy to be in a place, where there is a din, and people are talking — it makes the experience more exciting … but this goes well beyond that … as a result, the discussions with our friends was a disaster … it felt like we were in a Jerry Seinfeld episode — it was that ridiculous … to conclude, if you dont mind the din, this place is OK … pasta dishes are pricey, so I’d probably stick with the pizza … good wine selection too …
