I went to Pasta Da Pulcinella with about 7 others before a show at Atlantic Station. We had made a reservation because we went on a Friday night around 6pm. I had always heard about this place, but I've never been.
We all shared a few appetizers and then each of us got our main course. We also got a bottle of wine to share (only a few of us drank at the table.)
For appetizers we got the calamari and bruschetta to share. I am personally not the biggest fan of calamari, but based on how fast it went at the table, it was really good. The bruschetta was quite good as well. It tasted fresh and the bread was pretty crispy, so that was perfect.
For the main entrée, I got the chicken ravioli. My girlfriend and her brother shared the cheese tortellini with grilled chicken, and then they made their own pasta, the classic linguini with garlic cream sauce and grilled chicken. My chicken ravioli was excellent. I love a pasta with a red sauce, and I love ravioli even more, so this dish was perfect. It was quite a good portion size too. I tried the other two dishes as well, and I was a bigger fan of the linguini. It tasted creamy and the pasta had a nice bite to it. The tortellini was very dry and I'm not a fan of pesto, so I wasn't too big of a fan. My girlfriend and her brother are big fans of pesto, but they both agreed with the fact that it was way too cold, and also mentioned that it was too cold and hard to the bite, so they didn't enjoy it at all. The ravioli, in my opinion, was by far the best dish.
The server recommended this great bottle of a red wine called Lucente. It was really good. It had a perfect balance. It was so good in fact, that my girlfriend's dad ended up buying a few bottles at the local package store. Highly recommend this wine!
The service was excellent. Everyone kept checking on us throughout the entirety of our stay and the manager even came by to ask us how we were doing. I very much enjoyed my stay here, and I would love to come back.
