Pulcinella on the Green

"Went there last night after playing golf in Greenport at the suggestion of companion player. Nice ambience in private country club Rock. Our server D had an attitude and when fly fell in my wife’s rose wine(so many flies in the restaurant), he took the glass and joked that he won’t charge for fly… He did not bring replacement back nor deduct from the bill.(only found out today!) Food was mediocre at best.Rubbery octopus and clam in the pasta was not fresh. Calamari was stale.We spent over 400 for this lousy service and lousy food.Overall, it was a very disappointing dinner. We will not come back of course."

"Delicious food. Our waitress was fantastic and I was really impressed with her knowledge of the dishes & specials. Would definitely return and recommend!"

"My wife and I tried this restaurant for the first time last night and while I consider myself a foodie and a critic, let me detail why I was disappointed and could only muster up a two star review at best. Let me first highlight the one entree that was truly a five star dish. I asked if they offered the Agnolotti Pulcinella Pasta Dish as an appetizer and when they said no I ordered the entree as an appetizer because the photos on the website depicted small portions which they are. This dish was truly outstanding and spot on. Sadly that was the only food dish that deserved a five star rating. Before I detail the other appetizers and entree's let me say that the Host was cold and almost rude. Not a great way to great guests. I also need to point out the the prices are extremely high considering that they portray themselves as a high end restaurant. OK now for the food review. The Figs stuffed with Goat Cheese came out cold and because of this the goat cheese was firm. My wife ordered the Spaghetti Alle Vongole that was seriously lacking any flavor. She had to brake the cardinal rule about putting grated cheese on a seafood dish to garner some flavor. I ordered the Veal Pulcinella and while the Veal was very tender the dish was served with fresh mozzarella and cut up tomatoes. Sadly the tomatoes were all hard and far from fresh. A couple of pieces even had part if the stem attached and couldn't even be eaten. Very bad prep in the kitchen and to make it even worse my plate had a chip in in and for a high end restaurant that dish should have never been used to serve such an expensive dish. Don't get me wrong if I was eating at a local pizzeria restaurant I wouldn't even care. I am not the type of person to complain while out for dinner and maybe I should be, but since I never close the door on a restaurant after one visit I may elect to try Pulcinella's one more time hoping for a better dining experience."

"Dined here last Thursday with two others and we had an incredible experience. The absolute best part was our waiter, Dario. He was personable, funny, and just a fantastic overall waiter! Made great suggestions, and had us laughing all night! There was also a busser that took care of us that I didn’t catch a name of, but she did a great job as well. The restaurant itself was absolutely gorgeous, so open and bright and an amazing view of sunset. Also fresh flower arrangements everywhere. For appetizers we had the veal meatballs, the eggplant special, and the fig prosciutto special. All were incredible, but my favorite was the meatballs. For entrees we all split the 32oz Ribeye special, the orecchiette baresi, and the chicken Pulcinella. Each dish was amazing, the presentation on the ribeye was wonderful and was cooked perfectly. The pasta had so much flavor, and the chicken was nice and crispy with the perfect amount of toppings that didn’t make it soggy. For desert we had the pistachio cheesecake and the rainbow cake witch were both so tasty. I’ve seen other reviews of people complaining about the price but I was actually shocked how LOW our bill was for the amount of food we got. Three apps, three entrees, two desserts and 5 drinks total and the bill was just about $115 per person before tip. Also, spoiler alert, the prices are on the menu! Shocking I know, but seems silly to complain of things you know prior to ordering. To wrap it all up, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in some time. Thank you Dario for your incredible service, we will be back!"
