Review Summary

Pulcinella is celebrated for handmade pasta and bold flavors, with pistachio pesto rigatoni, pappardelle with wild mushrooms, and a braised beef rib that melts in the mouth. The seafood shines in creamy linguine with clams and shrimp, while octopus and tuna tartare start meals with elegance. Antipasti boards, burrata, and other starters are frequently highlighted for freshness and balance, and pistachio tiramisu provides a memorable finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an open kitchen and attentive service that makes guests feel at home. Located in Little Italy, it is a beloved stop for locals and visitors alike and is often described as a must visit for authentic Italian cooking and homemade pasta.

Found this place randomly on Google Maps & noticed it had a 5.0 rating - had to check it out. We came for an early dinner & ordered the Caesar salad & octopus to start, then had the seafood pasta & beef pasta. Both were tasty, but we especially liked the seafood pasta - super refreshing & perfect for summer. Service was friendly, & the place has a nice cozy vibe. Glad we stumbled upon it!

The food was phenomenal, when you go make sure to not be in a rush & enjoy the food & service, we had the grilled octopus, antipasto, burrata & Cesar salad to start with a couple of bottles of Pinot Grigio of the month, then had braised beef, rigatoni pistachio, pappardelle mushrooms & cassarecce with braised beef. Finished off with a few coffees & Ferrero rocher cake. We wanted the tiramisu pistachio but they ran out, pre-order with your reservation if you like tiramisu!! Great restaurant, the service was great & the food perfectly cooked with explosive flavours.

An Italian restaurant like no other in Montreal! Every dish was prepared with utmost attention from the appetizers to the mains to the sides on the plate. Octopus, one the best I have had! Signature Pistachio Pasta is one of a kind! Rabbit absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back & try the surf & turf & their meats from their Master Griller.

The food was amazing! Eddy & Ralph make you feel right at home. They always accommodate my food preferences. Highly recommend this gem. Try the seafood pasta, octopus & / or salmon tartare are my favorites. I love that as you sit down they bring you some foods to snack on. Finally, I've never had trouble with parking!

Discovered this utter gem near Jean Talon Market last night. Exquisite entrée of grilled octopus followed by a fresh pasta dish of mushroom tagliatelle that I cannot stop raving about! Dessert was probably the best tiramisu I've ever had & a perfect cappuccino. Wine list is lovely & not too contrived or confusing. & service? Absolutely hands-down spot-on. Highly recommend this little eatery, but make reservations because it was -understandably- packed on a Friday evening.

Took my fiancé for dinner here on a Friday night. Each & every plate was excellent; had 2 appetizers (octopus & the tuna tartare) & 2 main plates (braised beef on the bone & a white fish). I also tried their pasta & it was amazing; a classic Italian dish. Ended the evening with a wonderful tartufo! The service was top notch & the ambiance was quite nice. It's located in a cute little neighbourhood right near the Jean-Talon market. Finding parking was fairly simple too. Definitely going to return.
