Review Summary

Pulcinella is described as a cozy, authentic Italian spot in Montreal with a welcoming atmosphere and a lively street-side terrace, where fresh handmade pasta and bold comforting flavors shine. Reviewers praise pistachio rigatoni, pappardelle champignons sauvages, seafood pasta, octopus, braised beef, and rabbit, along with a pistachio tiramisu and other desserts, highlighting that the menu offers generous portions and strong value. Service is consistently attentive and friendly, with staff guiding allergies and preferences and contributing to a warm, homey vibe. The open kitchen and casual elegance add to the experience, while the space can feel small and a bit noisy when crowded. Pulcinella is repeatedly recommended for a memorable night out, a great spot for groups or dates, and a reliable haven for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine near the Jean Talon Market, delivering both quality and hospitality.

Went there last night. We had not been here before & went entirely by the website reviews. Got there early (first ones). The reception was so friendly & staff were eating at the counter - which is a good sign & it smelled delicious. Everything was fantastic we felt like we had come across a hidden jewel & will definitely be back!!

Absolutely loved this place. The food was outstanding from start to finish, & the service was just as impressive-attentive, friendly, & never rushed.
We started with a beautiful Italisn antipasto & a tuna tartare that was fresh, well-balanced, & perfectly seasoned. For the main, the lamb shank was the star of the night-fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, & comforting, served on the creamiest mashed potatoes with perfectly cooked vegetables. You could tell it was slow-cooked with care.
& the dessert… wow. Hands down the best carrot cake I've ever had. Moist, flavorful, not overly sweet, & just indulgent enough to end the meal on a high note.
Overall, an amazing dining experience with high-quality food & excellent service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to-& recommending to everyone.

What a lovely surprise! We ended up there after searching on Google Maps, & we absolutely loved this restaurant. The dishes are amazing, & the service is top-notch. I had the gorgonzola gnocchi, & my boyfriend had the fettuccine with vegetables- we tried also the tiramisu pistacho :) Everything was excellent! I will definitely go back again soon

Excellent restaurant. La qualité de la nourriture en vaut le détour. Le Service est très agréable. L'ambiance est décontracté & chaleureuse. Le seul petit bémol est le bruit & la petite superficie du restaurant . Autrement rien à dire.

We had such an amazing experience at Pulcinella. We started with the charcuterie & cheese platter, & the second I saw the merlot cheese on the board, I knew we were in for something special. Everything was delicious. For mains, I had the braised beef & it was incredible - tender, juicy, & literally falling off the bone. My friend had the pesto pasta, cooked to perfection & super creamy. The service was just as impressive. The staff had great energy, were friendly & inviting, & our server was so sweet & knew the menu inside out. Overall, what an amazing spot. Definitely a hidden gem in Montréal. I'd go back in a heartbeat & would recommend. Thank you for having me :)

There is a reason why they have 5 stars in Google map. When I sat down, there is another customer, who is a friendly old lady, telling me the Pappardelle Champignons is OUT OF THIS WORLD, & YES it IS!!!!!! It is literally the best pasta I have ever had!
