New York style pizza....the one with the thin crust

What a quaint restaurant! This was the perfect spot to enjoy the outdoor patio with friends on my weekend vacation to NC. The prices were very reasonable. The house bread they bring you (and replenish generously) was delicious! I had Grandma's pizza - a thin crust delight! The servers were atte...

This place is tucked away in the warehouse district and easily missed if you are not looking for it carefully. However once you find it you will be in for a treat to one of the best Italian restaurants in the RTP. The ambiance is nice both inside and outside while the servers are attentive and frien...

I came here with 15 people, of which 3 were kids (aged 2-8). We ate outdoors and it was a great location. I tried the gnocchi and that was great. It was a good place for family but I can imagine it being a great place for a date as well (and not too hard on the wallet). The other dishes people seem...

I had the Penne Rustico at Cinelli's and the sauce was delicious! Great restaurant.

Cinelli's new Morgan St. location is a definite upgrade from the previous Broad St. location. The restaurant is very attractive, both inside and out. The inside of the restaurant has the flair of urban sophistication without being pretentious. There also is seating outside in an enclosed courtyard. ...
I have been to Serena's many times but usually for after work drinks as it is the closest bar, well, the only bar in the RTP area. I ordered dinner with my co-workers there the other night and it was tremendous. I thought they were mostly a sandwich shop but they have a whole list of tapas. We sh...
You could not imagine how wonderful and creative this restaurant is. I love Tapas, I can't have enough of it. Good size plates and it doesn't break your wallet. As good as the Tapas was, what won me over was the bread pudding dessert. It is phenominal! I would definitely come back.

Pulcinella's is a good Italian Restaurant. The food is always consistent and delicious. My favorites are their Lasagna and Eggplant Parm. The servers are friendly and attentive, and restaurant ambiance is pleasant and very clean. I would recommend it as someone did to us when we moved to Durham...

Pulcinellas is a rather cozy space, with lots of good food tucked inside. It's a great local Italian restaurant with fresh, homemade everything. Their salads are delicious, and their Italian salad dressing is to die for - forget dipping their wonderful bread in the olive oil - my husband and I use...

Great food, authentic and high quality. I hesitate to rave for fear even more people will discover this gem! A long time favorite for our family.

My wife and I tried Pulcinellas for the first time last week and were very pleased with our dining experience, friendliness of the waitresses and the cost. The salad was the best we have gotten out in a long time, fresh, crisp and green.

We have recently moved from Durham to Chapel Hill, but we enjoy Pulcinellas so much that we drive across two towns to go there. The food is fresh and delicious, and appropriately priced. They're understanding about kids, and have always helped us feel welcome even when our autistic child was a bit f...

Good food & value, especially compared to SouthPoint's restaurants where the wait can be too long. It's better to drive the 5 minutes up 751 & goto Pulcinella's. There's often very little waiting to be seated. It's a local's favorite for Italian.
