I've been a regular at this restaurant since they opened, and if this isn't one of Raleigh's best-kept secrets, I don't know what is.
This is real New York-style Italian. If you need more detail than that, just go to Pulcinella's, order a lot of food, and pay attention. Repeat as necessary.
The prices are very reasonable, the food is fresh and well-prepared, the specials are always worth recommending, and I've never had a single bad meal there in years and years and dozens of visits.
If you want real New York Italian food, served in the real-deal northeastern style (I came here 25 years ago from a NYC bedroom community in CT and know what I'm talking about) you simply should not miss Pulcinella's.
Highly recommended.
Pros: Authenticity, Flavor, Value
Cons: Location
