Pasta da Pulcinella Review

Pasta Da Pulcinella was known for years as a humble hole in the wall serving up great pasta at rock-bottom prices. Some things have changed since the restaurant moved into new digs. Now tucked away in a charming but crowded cottage, the interior is fancier, though still casual, with table service and a full bar. Prices are fancier, too, but still sensible. What has stayed the same is a commitment to excellent pastas, made from scratch and beautifully presented with a surprising and innovative combination of flavors in each concoction.

The most popular dish is tortelli di mele -- plump round pasta filled with sweet Italian sausage, browned Granny Smith apples, and Parmesan, then topped with browned butter and sage. You'll see nightly specials each day, but your best bet is to stick with the pastas or risottos. There is a small selection of Italian wines that changes often. Pulcinella is near a number of theaters and makes an easy pretheater stop.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
