Ristorante Pulcinella in Tampere brings a genuine taste of Italian cucina (cuisine / keittiö) to the city’s vibrant dining scene. This welcoming restaurant celebrates the rich traditions of Italian cooking with a menu that spans antipasti (starters / alkupalat), wood-fired pizzas, house-made fresh pasta, creamy risottos, savory meat and seafood dishes, and delectable desserts. Every dish is crafted with authentic Italian ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes (San Marzano-tomaatit), mozzarella fiordilatte (mozzarella fiordilatte), aromatic basil (basilika) and premium olive oil (extra neitsyt oliiviöljy), bringing out vibrant flavours in every bite.

Pulcinella’s pizzas range from classics like Margherita and Marinara to specials like Diavola with spicy salami and Burrata topped with San Daniele ham (San Daniele-kinkku), rocket (rucola) and cherry tomato (kirsikkatomaatti). Pastas are made fresh in-house and include rich plates like Tonnarelli alla carbonara (carbonara pasta / carbonarapasta) with Guanciale and pecorino, and Pappardelle al ragú di manzo (beef ragù pasta / naudanragúpasta) bathed in parmesan cheese.
For mains, choose from tender meats such as filetto (beef fillet / naudan sisäfilee) with mushroom sauce or seafood favourites like Spigola all’acqua pazza (sea bass in white wine / meribassifileetti valkoviinissä).
