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. Certainly not your classical North American pizza, it's definitely different, but definitely delicious.

    After today, this has officially become one of my favorite restaurants. The service was absolutely exceptional. For the first time in Canada, I tried French onion soup, and it was incredible—so flavorful and perfectly prepared. The steaks were melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the cheesecake? Pure perfection! Hands down the best I’ve ever had in Canada—just unreal. Highly, highly recommend! A special shoutout to our server, Dustin. He was beyond amazing—so attentive, kind, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience unforgettable. It was our wedding anniversary, and it was so important to us that everything went smoothly, and thanks to Dustin, it was perfect. We truly believe he is incredible at what he does, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. The restaurant and its team went above and beyond, and we are so impressed. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!
