Pulcinella Restaurant

The atmosphere at Pulcinella is festive and cheerful, a reflection of the philosophy behind this Glasgow restaurant, which is to be found on Hope Street. A brightly lit establishment with its checked tablecloths and colourful wall paintings depicting a fiesta, you could easily get in the mood for a wonderful celebration, even if there isn't any particular occasion. The style of the cuisine is rustic Italian with emphasis on freshness of ingredients, everything being procured locally and prepared directly in their kitchen.

A typical meal could start with meatballs cooked with fresh basil and garlic bread, followed by an escalope of veal topped with Parma ham, cooked in a white wine and sage sauce. Those who feel that fish should be a part of every meal will love their sole with garlic and prawns or the roast herbed salmon with grilled vegetables. They also have some delightful pizza and pasta dishes. Helping the meal along is their selection of wines which comes from origins as diverse as Italy and South Africa.
