I was in town visiting colleges from New Jersey, we were just looking for a good meal, when we got there we loved the way it looked from the outside, the inside was very cute, like the inside of someone’s house, food was out of this world, tasted the signature dish and never had anything like that before. I typically go out to dinner around six times a month, I have to tell you the service, my waiter , kayo he’s a five-star waiter. The whole family enjoyed it, very professional and also very laid-back, I would be surprised if this wasn’t a local favorite of many people from that area

We dined here last year after getting married at city hall, and I remember o UK r families commenting that all of their dishes were great. We visited here again for our anniversary and it was lackluster. While our server was great, the food left us disappointed. The risotto with veal was very watery...almost a stew kind of consistency and the rice was way too soft. The veal was cooked nicely but not too much flavor. My husband had the gnocchi and he commented that while the gnocchi itself was fine, the sauce tasted like it was frozen and reheated, but not reheated enough. Sadly, I doubt we'll be back.

Good thing we had reservations at 5:45pm because the place was busy, but we were seated right away. The restaurant filled up quickly. Loved the little table we were seated at near the kitchen. Our server was very friendly and had our drinks and food to us quickly. Parking was right across the street and an attendant was there to take our payment. I would recommend this restaurant especially before the theatre as the service was very efficient!

The food: We have been to Pasta da Pulcinella three times now and every meal was delicious and perfectly prepared. The flavors are to die for. The portions are perfectly sized. There are plenty of options - and many pasta dish options. Hands down this is the best pasta I've had in Midtown.

The service: Even when busy, the servers are attentive - you don't sit with empty glasses or dirty plates. If your waiter is busy, someone else will come by to see if you need anything. They set the standard in service.

The drinks: They have an excellent selection of cocktails and wine.

The ambiance: This quaint little restaurant is disguised as a cottage and at first glance, you wouldn't be able to tell that this is actually an upscale spot with fresh Italian fare. The entire restaurant is candlelit at night which makes for a perfect date spot. I highly recommend sitting on the outside deck or by a window.

The cost: Very reasonable. And definitely inexpensive for the quality.

In sum: Amazing food, many drink options, excellent service, beautiful ambiance.

Great find in midtown Atlanta! The little yellow house hidden among the skyscrapers. This locally owned and managed restaurant exceeded our expectations on every count. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent value!

I had the cannelloni and she had the house specialty tortelli de mele. Both entrees were expertly prepared and served at the perfect temperature for immediate enjoyment. The cannelloni was tasty with just the right amount of gravy. The tortelli de mele was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The portions were perfect, not too much not too little.

I finished off with an espresso and vanilla gelato while she enjoyed a slice of Grand Marnier cheesecake.

Last notes: The restaurant opens for dinner at 5PM Saturday despite what their website says. Kudos for offering Beck’s NA beer for those of us that what something non-intoxicating with our meal.

The ambiance and food was amazing I ordered the lobster ravioli and It was one of the best Italian meals I have ever eaten. The pasta was fresh and light and the champagne sauce was delicious. The restaurant is a converted house and is quite small. I went on a Wednesday evening and it was very crowded. We waited quite awhile to order and get our meal. I highly recommend you get reservations and plan on being there for several hours.

My husband and I were in Atlanta for the day and googled Italian restaurants near our hotel. I read all the reviews and decided we'd give it a try. Definately a great choice. Husband is a chicken parmesan snob but gave it a try and ate it all!!! I had a sausage apple ravioli that was out of this world. Staff and service were also great. I would recommend Pasta da Pulcinella to anyone.

This is one of our favorite go to places and we probably eat here 4 times a month. Food/service/ambiance are consistently wonderful. This last visit two of the parties at the table ordered the Salmon Risotto which was way to salty (and we like salt). Our waitress explained it was because it was smoked salmon, but to us it was 'over salted' regardless. Having said this, we will continue to patronize this restaurant, anybody can have an 'off' day and they ALWAYS MAKE THINGS RIGHT for the customer.

Arguably the best meal we’ve had in atlanta. We’ve been to 5 star restaurants here. This is the best- food, wine, service, price can’t be beat. Our waiter Cole recommended a couple things, we went with his recommendations, and everything was incredible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Our server, Cole was fantastic. Attentive but not overly so, which I love. He even treated me to a birthday dessert - Thanks Cole! The food was incredible, fresh and tasty. I had the seafood fettuccine and my son had the apple and sausage ravioli. Both were delicious along with caprese and Cesar salads. The peach sorbetto was creative and very refreshing. Will definitely go again.

Only had one pet peeve for the evening. We were sitting in front of the window and this one waitress kept checking her tables outside by hovering over our table to look out the window -- all evening! Very distracting and she didn't take the hint to stop.
