After my work meeting, our client suggested this spot for lunch. It was a great suggestion. I ordered the Tagliatelle Verdi Alla Bolognese ($17), which consisted of House made spinach tagliatelle with a hearty ragú made with veal, beef, pork, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and a hint of cream. If you read that and started drooling, me too. This was delicious. Would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

I can not explain how disappointing it is to drive over an hour to celebrate our 19th anniversary at Pasta da Pulcinella only to pull up and see a sign tapes to the door "Closed for private event"... I checked the website and social media before we made the drive, nothing posted anywhere. I walk in, just to confirm, hoping maybe it was leftover from the night before. Nope. The lady at the front did not seem to care that we drove over an hour or that they gave customers no notice. Well we will be sure to never count on them again, for any anniversary or date night or family dinner. We do not know the midtown area well so we were frustrated and stuck scrambling to try and find somewhere to eat for what should have been a nice relaxing night. So if you value your time and sanity, do not bother coming here. read more

Fantastic food. Love the environment of the restaurant. We were originally sat upstairs but due to a very loud group, we moved to one of the downstairs dining rooms. Very nice servers that offer you a tour of the menu. We got the bruschetta, it was alright but a bit different as half were the standard tomato setup and the others were mushrooms and eggplant. The Cesar salad was fantastic, definitely the best I've had at a restaurant. Tortelli di Mele was fantastic and we will definitely get it again read more

Pasta Da Pulcinella - Crème Brûlée - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What a lovely space. The restaurant is a renovated home so it's immediately warm and welcoming when you enter. We were quickly greeted and sat in a room that was a little more tucked away, something I appreciate since it was a special occasion. We started with a bottle of Sancerre that was at a VERY approachable price point. I believe theirs was around $52. It was up there in term of quality with many $150+ bottles I've had. The charcuterie board was great, everything was fresh and flavorful. The fettuccine we did for dinner tastes like they just made the noodles before it hit the table, perfect texture. The star of the show was the lobster ravioli. Plenty of flavor, rich but not too heavy and a great portion. The service is something I wanted to highlight. Our server Isabella was great. I just wish she had some type of support. She was taking tables on the patio and inside. We noticed this upon entry so I got the entire order ready to make the flow of service easier for her. With her taking multiple tables in various spots throughout the restaurant, it would've been beneficial for management to step in and run her bottle of wine for her. Or have server assistants more present to clear the table for her. Again, I don't fault her. She truly did great with the insane amount of work she had going on, but that style of service isn't sustainable. It's unfair to staff and guests. I hope to either see more maintainable sections or more help on the floor for my next visit. read more

My friends and I had a 7:45 reservation, and we still had to wait 20-30 mins. We showed up on time as well. What's the point in having a reservation if it is not honored? Inside was cute & had a very romantic vibe. Dim lighting and loudish music. Was also very packed on a saturday night with friends and couples. We started off with the Bread ($3) comes with butter and oil/balsamic. It was just your regular bread. I got the classic linguini ($16) with Garlic Sauce. You can barely taste the garlic & it's more creamy than cheesy. Not much flavor & I wish I tried a different sauce instead. My friend got the Pizzocheri Coi Rapini ($19) which also tasted like nothing. The sauce was very liquidy, so the noodles weren't able to get much flavor. She asked for a garlic sauce on the side to make it taste like something. This mixed together was good. They also added the tip (20%) automatically. We were a group of 5 people, so maybe they do that for larger parties. The service was pretty standard. The bill was a total of $127.71. I probably wouldn't visit again. read more

You walk in and suddenly...you're not in Atlanta anymore. You're on a little patio somewhere in Florence, pretending you don't have emails waiting. It's cozy and charming. The lobster ravioli was rich, indulgent, and exactly what you came for! No notes, no regrets. It's giving neighborhood Italian spot that locals protect but still secretly love showing off. And yes, there's a weirdly comforting Midtown ATL energy to it. Adorable, delicious, and absolutely worth leaning all the way in. read more

The service started out a bit slow but once it got going, everything went smoothly. We walked by this place and it looked intriguing. We had a bottle of a lovely Super Tuscan wine. The caprese salad had huge tomato slices and the olive oil/balsamic was delicious. We had Il Capo pizza and it was perfect. The crust was just the right amount of crispy. The desserts were rasberry cheesecake and gelato. Everything was delish and we will back! Service from all was gracious and spot on. read more

This is such a cute little Italian restaurant tucked away in midtown. The outside is such a charming house and walking inside makes you feel as if you just stepped into an Italian family home. The lighting and vibes inside were also really nice. I came here for lunch, and their menu is small but everything looked good. I really enjoyed my pasta, and I tried a bit of the sandwich as well, which was also really good. They also gave me a free birthday dessert, which I really appreciated. I would love to come back here for dinner sometime to try out their dinner menu! read more

Wow. Can I just say, ask for Jose. :) I'm really picky with my fancyish restaurants (and that's how I would clasify this). I was here before 5 years ago. I haven't been to the new location but I will tell you from the moment I arrived the moment I left I felt completely immersed in a family experience but also given enough space to just enjoy and into that time with my partner. This was our first date night since we married and we were celebrating our first time apart and Jose you made it super special but also gave us the space so just enjoy our time together. More importantly, you're probably wondering about food. We have the chicken ravioli which I've had twice now in the sauce has a little bit of spice and spunk and it is one of the best dishes I've ever tried. Aside from that, we just got their traditional pasta with garlic cream and veggies and it was a perfect addition to the chicken ravioli. We ended with the lemons sorbetto and oh my gosh, it was perfect. Mostly I really enjoyed that. It was a great light refreshing dessert for lunch, but I've also had it for dinner and it's just such a cool concept. I won't tell you too much because I want it to be a surprise. I hate it but this is restaurant became a little bit more modern but considering the circumstances that they have to redo and that they've kept that intimate Family feel, I would definitely give five stars again and again and I look forward to the opportunity of coming back. read more

Pasta Da Pulcinella - Lemon Sorbetto - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have been coming to this restaurant for 20 years as a favorite of mine in the Midtown area. Recently, I had my first visit to their new location. The new place is stunning, classy, and spacious. I miss the small, quaint vibe of the previous location, but I don't think it's really fair to compare the two buildings. I'm happy to see the restaurant still thriving. My service was fantastic, the highlight of my visit. Even the valet was great! My server was friendly and just the right amount of attentive. He was able to give detailed advice on the menu, including the wine and he was spot on. I really appreciate it when a server knows the menu. I enjoyed a dish of Bolognese pasta, a lovely bottle of red wine, sorbetto, and espresso. Honestly, the sorbetto was the star of the show. not only was the presentation lovely, but it was absolutely delicious. The wine that my waiter suggested was a perfect pairing to my pasta and I was very happy with the recommendation. I enjoyed my pasta, but I was a bit disappointed that it did not come out piping hot. Pasta tends to cool down quickly and I wasn't able to enjoy even one bite really hot. For the amount of times I have frequented this restaurant over the years, I'm going to chalk it up to them potentially being really busy this evening as it was New Year's Eve. However, it took away from the meal just a bit. Also, I loved my server, but when he asked if I wanted bread, I second guessed myself and said yes. He never ended up bringing the bread, and I didn't ask again. Will these missteps keep me from coming back to a place that I love? No, however, it makes me question the new location just a bit. read more

We came here to celebrate my friends graduation- all of us went to college in the area so we were coming to relive old memories.

Absolutely wonderful! I would come back here time and time again! Talk about a gem. I came from out of town so I was just looking up places to go and this popped up. Very cute and quaint the ambiance just felt very at home from the cups in the windows to the pictures and stairs in the entryway it felt like I stepped into someone's home. This place has been around for many years so it felt special it felt like I was getting a taste of family tradition. I went with the bolognese which was recommended by the server and boy was he right. It was absolutely delicious I savored each bite as best as I could. Surprisingly, I even ordered dessert, and I never make it to dessert, but I made sure to save room for this. I got the chocolate cake which I was hesitant at first because it's very easy to overdo a chocolate cake. But this was PERFECT!! light airy, and just the right amount of sweet. All of this and combination with the perfect weather this experience felt like a dream. I can't wait to come back. read more

What a lovely cute Italian restaurant! Tortellini with chicken - yummy but I think it was not so incredible that I couldn't make it at home Linguini with cream sauce and sausage - they are GENEROUS with the sausage! Boyfriend loved it.

Firstly, the outside of this place is a cute southern looking home. When you enter, it also feels like you're in someone's house. The ambiance is nice and cozy inside, which is how I felt when I also tasted the food. We tried the bolognese pasta and one of their flatbreads. Delicious!! Attentive staff in the right amount. Place gets busy so make sure to call ahead and make reservations. I know pasta wouldn't necessarily be the obvious choice when you think of ATL but I highly recommend this place and I will for sure be back! read more

First, valet parking is $15 but with a small walk you can park at the Moxy Hotel for $6 if you get the restaurant hostess to validate the parking ticket. Now on to the important things. This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. Prior to COVID I would visit anytime I was in Midtown for business. I hadn't been to the new location until recently. I've been back twice in the last month. Both times met my expectations and memories of those meals from the past. This was the first time I've been able to introduce my wife to the restaurant. I miss the quaintness of the "old house," but this new house is lovely. The interior is fresh, clean, inviting and comfortable. There is ample patio seating also. I consider it an unpretentious quasi-upscale restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful and on top of things. For example, we ordered a Caesar salad to share and Kayla (our server) had the salad divided into two bowls for us. I usually get the Tortelli di Mele (side note, I'm normally a red sauce guy but this ranks up there as one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had). I ventured out tonight and had the Tagliatelle Verde Alla Bolognese. I added mushrooms to the meaty ragu for a small up-charge. They added a nice touch to the hearty ragu. The sauce was a little watery but I did not find it off putting and chalked it up to the large portion of pasta. The spinach tagliatelle was cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the chicken ravioli with spicy cream sauce, which had a hint of spice. The chicken stuffing mixture is soft and tasty. My observation after this latest visit is that you probably can't go wrong with any pasta / entree selection. However, their ravioli are divine pillows of pasta goodness that are unmatched anywhere I know of. I may never venture away from their ravioli again. To put it simply, if a place is known for particular dishes, eat them. Finally my wife was able to experience the place I've been raving about for years, I think it is one of her favorites now too. read more

I went to the old location several times, and was delighted by the food, service, and ambiance. Last week I went to the new location with some people I wanted to get to know, but the noise level was outrageous. Totally ruined the experience. The service was also terrible. A waiter came to out table after a long wait and asked is we needed anything, and I waved my empty wine glass in his face (because it was too loud to actually talk), and he ignored me and walked away. I've had better food in chain restaurants. I won't be going back. read more

I came here on a first date, and waiter totally ruined the occasion. He for some reason thought it was appropriate to kiss my date on the hand and proceeded to bother us the whole time talking about his own love life and astrology. Never really had the chance to even talk to the person I was presumably here to talk to because we kept being interrupted. Food was nothing to write home about either. You probably have a better option near you. read more

Food was delicious, atmosphere very cozy and relaxing (though if it's cold outside, the tables beside the windows upstairs will also be cold) Service was phenomenal! read more

I really like Pasta De Pulcinella! I have gone three times and have consistently had great service and delicious food and drinks. The wait time is steep and even with a reservation you may have to wait sometimes, but we've liked it enough to wait still. The menu offers a lovely array of different options and each course is fantastic, I recommend the crème brûlée for dessert!! read more

Had lunch there (again) today, was excellent (again), dined outside, weather cooperated. The lunch specials are always awesome, under $20, including a great salad. Service is terrific, outside dining is wonderful, the place inside is gorgeous. Best Italian food in Atlanta. read more

I loved the atmosphere here and was happy we had a table outside. Our server was awesome, always attentive but not intrusive. We started out with a glass of Pinot Noir, which was a nice pour. The menu has a lot of choices, but a lot of entrees had mushrooms which I don't like. I started with a Caesar salad. We also ordered bread for the table at $3, which was good. What I really liked was that the server didn't take our entree order until we were done with our salads. I don't like when my entree is brought while I am still eating my salad so this was perfect. The Caesar salad was very good. For my entree I got the tagliatelle bolognese. The food came quickly and looked great. Was it the best I ever had? No.....but it was ok. I think the noodles were a little over done and I would have liked more sauce. I am the sauce queen. Overall, nice experience with good service. read more

I recently came here on a Saturday evening to treat my friend for her birthday. We made a reservation but were late, and the hostess still understood. We were seated within 20 mins, but only after reminding her we were waiting. We were seated on a 4-person table (there were 3 of us) in their first floor dining room. It felt very tight, since we were so close to neighboring customers. Surprisingly the conversation level was not a problem, probably because everyone treats this as a nice place. I got the apple martini and cheese tortellini with grilled chicken. We shared the bruschetta as a starter, and the other 2 girls got the lobster ravioli they shared with me. The mains definitely exceeded my expectations. The appletini was delicious and strong, as well. The bruschetta wasn't amazing, but I saw other starters on the menu I'd love to try next time. read more

From the moment we walked in, the experience felt warm and inviting. The space strikes a great balance -- stylish without being intimidating, and comfortable enough to settle in and enjoy a long meal. What truly impressed me was the quality of the food. Each dish we tried had its own character, prepared with care and full of flavor. The pasta stood out most -- perfectly cooked, rich in taste, and served in portions that left us satisfied but still wanting to try more. The sauces complemented the dishes beautifully, adding depth without overpowering.Service was attentive and thoughtful throughout the evening. Everything moved at a nice pace, never rushed, and we felt genuinely looked after the entire time. It's the kind of hospitality that makes a good meal even better. Overall, this restaurant delivers on every level -- atmosphere, service, and exceptional food. It's the kind of place that makes you want to return, knowing that each visit will be just as enjoyable as the last. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates pasta at its best. read more

**Heads up*** The restaurante changed locations. No longer in the small house. I learned the hard way. This was our second time in a few years and WOWzers!!! The food is still awesome. We went at 5pm on a Sat night and it was perfect. Whatever you do, ask for Ingrid the server. She is outstanding. She knew the menu and made great recommendations. I had the mushroom ravioli with Susan had the pesto linguini. We wont talk about the caprese, bread, and cocktails. Yum yum. Just go. Enjoy. Ask for Ingrid. Sit outside. You're welcome. read more

A very solid Italian spot in Atlanta! I made a reservation and the staff were super helpful to accommodate our party and we sat upstairs. The drink menu was big and the waiter was knowledge. To start, we got the prosciutto and fig flat bread and the charcuteries board. I though the flat bread was awesome but for the charcuterie for $30 fell flat for me as it was smaller. For my main, I got the lobster ravioli which was DIVINE!! And an amazing price truly the star of the show. We also enjoyed the bread service for $3. We were celebrating a birthday so we got a free slice of cheesecake with a candle which was awesome!! Overall, my experience was very positive!

Pasta Da Pulcinella - Tagliatelle Verdi Alla Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place has been on my list for a while, especially as it's in the heart of Midtown! We made reservations for a Friday birthday dinner for a friend and it was easy to make reservations online. I also appreciated that they allowed us to call and add an additional person to the reservation. Parking is a bit tricky at this spot. You can park at the Moxy hotel and get validation to bring it down to $6, however, it's still a decent walk from the restaurant. Additionally, there was construction the night we came, and it was difficult to find a way to the parking deck. The inside of the restaurant is pretty cool. It's basically a converted home and I loved the upstairs and downstairs seating. We were seated pretty quickly and they were super accommodating as some of our party was late with the parking situation. Our waiter Kayo was super friendly and awesome. He gave a great wine recommendation and walked us through the entire menu. For appetizers, we ordered the charcuterie board, bread service, and a prosciutto and fig flatbread. The bread was delicious and the flatbread might actually be one of the best flatbreads I've had! Their balsamic vinegar and the combination with the figs and prosciutto was beautiful. The charcuterie board was really small (2 meats, a couple slices of cheese, some miniature pickles, jam) and for $30, I was expecting a larger board with more accompaniments. For my main, I decided to order the Lobster Ravioli since it was one of the recommended dishes + a favorite here on Yelp. Unfortunately, it just really fell flat for me. The dish felt cold to me and the cream sauce had started to congeal a little bit. The raviolis themselves you could tell were beautifully handmade, however, the filling felt like just plain lobster and not a lot of other flavor. The cream sauce too was really bland for me. We shared a cheesecake for dessert which was pretty good and a sweet cap to the night. Overall, this place was pretty ok to me and I think there are better Italian restaurants in Atlanta for sure. read more

My daughter picked this restaurant on a Saturday the day before Mother's Day. Neither of us had been here before and wanted something new. We took an Uber to Midtown from East Point. We almost missed the place because it is nestled between office buildings on West Peachtree. We made the reservation same day with no problem. When we arrived we was given the choice of sitting inside or outside. It was a lovely day outside but I decided I wanted to sit inside as my first experience. Our server name was Joe and he was very pleasant and patient. This was our first time dining at this restaurant. The restaurant is very intimate which is a plus. Whether you bring a date or family, the atmosphere will work just fine. Our choices for dinner: Bruschetta: Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, shiitake mushrooms and eggplant componata on croutons. Crispy Calamari coated in egg white breading, served with tomato caper sauce. Caesar Salad Traditional Caesar dressing with shaved Reggiano and croutons. Chicken Parmigiana, Sauteed lightly breaded chicken cutlet with tomato basil sauce and fresh mozzarella, served with Tortellini Al Pesto. Pork Milanese, Pan roasted breaded bone-in pork chop with roasted potatoes, garlic spinach, grape tomatoes, caper berries and lemon butter sauce. Also we had cheesecake for dessert and Lemon Drop martinis. I will say I have never had capers like this before. They were a little sour but was a nice balance to the meal. The pork chop was nice and juicy. It was more than I could eat in one sitting. All in all the place was lovely and very accommodating. This is another place where you can local residents come here often. Very friendly spot. read more
