Reviews
Food was good. I had arancini to start, perfectly cooked, crispy outside, soft melted cheese embedded in rice, yummy. Second course pizza Diavola, good but not special, could have been spicier. Food was let down by the service. I guess like so many other places they are suffering staff shortages. Took for ever to take order and then food was slow to arrive. We were late for a concert and had take away half eaten meals. The noise levels were above my threshold, which admittedly is low. Conclusion go for the food but allow plenty of time.
I dine at Osteria Pulcinella restaurant frequently, and it offers the best Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is superb and elegantly designed. The waiters are excellent, and Maria is simply exceptional.
As always, fantastic food, lovely people, great atmosphere. Always a reliable place for great food, thank you to Luca in particular for such a nice time :)
The ambience is very nice, reminiscent of a quaint, autumnal cottage. The food was nigh without fault. I had the octopus to start, which was perfectly cooked - practically glistening - and was paired with a lovely helping of hummus. For main course, I ordered the aubergine ravioli which was also incredible, the highlight being the cherry tomato sauce. Finally, the tiramisu was so tasty; the sponge was airy and didn't have too strong of an alcohol taste, and the mascarpone was perfectly creamy and light. The service was great; it was admittedly a tad slow as they were quite busy, but we never had to wait too long for the food, and the staff were really kind. Luca, our server, was very funny and approachably friendly. All in all, a very nice day out!
