Pulcinella (Toronto) Ristorante & Wine Bar (established 2010)

Neapolitan-style pizza

Thin, blistered crust with a light char around the cornicione — the kitchen's anchor dish and the reason many regulars keep coming back

House pasta

Traditional Italian pasta preparations executed cleanly — expect classic sauces rather than experimentation, which is exactly what the room calls for

Antipasto selection

Italian starters done in the ristorante tradition — charcuterie, bruschetta, and cured items that pair well with a glass from the wine list before the main event

Tiramisu

A house version of the Italian classic — worth finishing the meal with if you paced yourself on the pasta
