One of the most revered of these ventures is Ristorante Pulcinella, where Domenic first earned distinction when his international training crossed borders and entered Calgary in the spring of 2006.

    We went to DOPO to celebrate my wife’s birthday and loved literally everything! The hostess and our server were both wonderful and the unique space set a perfect tone for a night out. We had ordered drinks upstairs at Bar Rosso, as we were early for our reservation. Both cocktails were fabulous and we enjoyed them back downstairs at DOPO alongside the whipped ricotta and green tomatoes to start. Our meal was delicious (thank you to our server for the recommendations on both food and wine!) and I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about the tirimisu to end the evening. We will be back :)

    Excellent food! Which was the main reason I chose this restaurant. Mussels were so good, caprese salad was outstanding and the pizza was so good! I want to go back choose so many other pizza flavors next time! Wine by the glass has limited options, but mine was great! I did find that the manager was very loud when talking to his staff, and although he was teaching them how to do something, it sounded like a reprimand and I felt bad for the server.
