Reviews for Trattoria Pulcinella in Cambridge, MA
I cannot express how this is my favorite restaurant ever. The food is extremely fresh and i highly recommend trying their... amazing desserts, especially the pistachio cake! Our server, I forgot her name, is an older woman with black hair, glasses, andan amazing loud personality that comes out vibrant, was marvelous. The menu is smaller than other restaurants, but is so muchbetter. When first being seated you will be given a basket of bread with a side of oil oil and chilis, now this was sodelicious. You cannot go wrong here! I cannot wait to come back. Read more

Had a very tasty meal here with my nieces. We had the artichoke appetizer which was very good. I had the swordfish special which... came with green beans and pasta. Perfectly done and had great flavor. My nieces each had pasta and both were happy with theirdishes. All food came out steaming hot which I very much appreciate. The chocolate lava cake for dessert was warm and yummy.Nice wine selection! We had a nice bottle of falanghina that we all enjoyed. Would definitely go back. Great atmosphere too. Read more
Celebrated one of my good friends birthdays here and we had a pleasant time. The interior is very warm and intimate. The expo... kitchen is very small but adds to the intimate feel The menu is small and straight forward. They serve only beer and wine. Asan appetizer I had the Octopus. I'm into grilled octopus and this one was more or less steamed with a tomato based sauce. A bittoo chewy for my liking and the sauce did not provide enough flavor for me. As a main meal I had the Bolognese with a red wine,which I'll be honest, I forgot the name of it (sorry!) Regardless the wine tasted well and paired well with the Bolognese. Themeal had some spice to it and it was flavorful. I would prefer some extra cheer on top next time. The gem of the night was thetiramisu. It was so good, I forgot to take a picture of it lol. An ok spot I do appreciate their intentions of providingauthentic Italian cuisine and experience. Read more
Amazing, adorable hole in the wall! Apparently they've been open for 24 years and I feel like I've driven by a million times and... never knew it was there! A really attentive and sweet person attended to us and everything was delicious. It's a small menu, andI don't think it's posted anywhere, but they have a lot of good seafood, pasta, and meat dishes with a wine list. Highlyrecommended! Read more
My company had a holiday dinner at Trattoria Pulcinella this evening and it was simply perfect. The atmosphere couldn’t have... better. Perfect lighting and gorgeous dining room. The service was excellent and one of the owners, who was present, wasphenomenal. Truly made us feel right at home. The food was excellent, from appetizers to my filet mignon, to the perfect cannolifor dessert. The wine, also excellent. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you! Read more
