Went for Valentine's Day which was overpriced I believe. Service was not great given the crowds. Pasta was great, other dishes not so much. Not worth a $500 tab for 4 people. read more

This restaurant has beautiful ambience. The bar is nice for casual dinner with table as well. The room in the back is dressy, white table cloths. Always decorated to the max for holidays. Outside seating has a huge outdoor fireplace and pizza oven. The menu always has many delicious specials. However the last time I went it was closed without notice. I am hoping it will reopen as it is my favorite Italian food and go to restaurant. read more

The decor was beautiful and even more wonderful for the holidays. Loved eating here, first time. Everything was excellent. I had a margarita and a chicken and shrimp dish. So good. Portions are very large, brought home my leftovers for lunch! Staff were very attentive! We sat at 5pm. read more

Always great food, always a beautiful atmosphere... and Lena.... The Best!!!! Thank You Churo for a wonderful evening read more

Party weekday late afternoon, not busy at all. Seafood was subpar. Not fresh mealy texture shrimps, fried calamari cold tasteless, zupa de pesce missing lobster. Waite staff tried to be helpful pleasant and funny maybe to cover up for whatever was going on in the kitchen. Where was the chef? read more

First time visiting and was pleasantly surprised and impressed with both the authentic Italian cuisine and service. Dario was welcoming, courteous and knowledgeable on the various specials. The clam and calamari appetizer were fantastic and the specials were plentiful and outstanding. Restaurant has a separate bar area with a dining room overlooking the golf course. Outside seating available weather permitting. Good selection of wines as well. Located on a golf course this is a gem and worth visiting. read more

Actually took take out, veal meatballs and a Caesar salad enjoyed it very much. Met with the bartender Makenzie A great smile and attitude a great addition to the place. read more

Had a great dinner here Sunday. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience since we weren't expecting much from a restaurant located in a golf course clubhouse. But the white tablecloths, uniformed wait staff and pleasant golf course view made for a delightful setting. The food was excellent showing off the delicate hand of the chef in all dishes. We had generous portions of the Pasta Fagioli, Shrimps Fra Diavolo, Grilled Shrimps and Roasted Potatoes to die for. The service was attentive and obliging, with Melvin, our charming server, adding to the entire experience. I enthusiastically recommend Puccinella for an upscale treat. read more

Outstanding food! Top notch, unique and delicious. Service could use some work, but this place is new so perhaps just working out the kinks. Had reservations for party of 8. Seated immediately. But our table was ridiculously close to another large table next to us. As there is a large second dining area, this was unnecessary but I understand with staffing trying to keep everyone to one area is easier for service. It's rather pricy, but with the top notch food it's definitely worth it. Everything we had was delicious, appetizers and meals everyone was raving about the food. Don't make your selections until you hear the specials. They have a TON of specials every night, appetizers and entrees. Many of us changed our minds after hearing the amazing special offerings. We will definitely be back. I wish Pulcinella's on the Green much success. It's a wonderful addition to the area. The night we went was rainy and dark, but I hear the view and outdoor area are spectacular. read more

Pulcinella on the Green - Italian Near Me - Wading River, New York

Been there quite a few times but this time was disappointing. Started with pasta fazziole. It was very thin with no flavor in the broth. No spices and no depth. Very disappointing. also had the pasta in the cheese wheel. The red sauce was not great and the whole dish lacked richness. Maybe you folks just had a bad night because everything was off. They had no decaf coffee but the cannoli was good. Might not be back. read more

We had veal and it was a bit on the tough side, but the rest of the meal was pretty decent. The service was OK, but I made a reservation and someone took it down but when we got there, we didn't have a reservation. The older fella that I guess was a waiter Had a slight attitude. The drinks and dessert were good. read more

This upscale restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine. The staff is accommodating whether you are there for an elegant affair or casual dining experience. The spacious bar area is separate from the dining room. Weather permitting, you can dine outside on the patio overlooking the green. Can't wait to try their Sunday brunch from 11:00am - 3:00pm. read more

9/21/23 Our second dining experience at Pucinella on the green. We were celebrating a dear friends birthday, and wanted something special. We started with the grilled seafood, which featured, shrimp, calamari and octopus, lightly grilled and beautifully served with a chopped salad on the side. The other appetizer we chose was fresh figs wrapped in prosciutto with goat cheese. Delicious! We decided to eat family style and ordered the large ribeye special that was served with broccoli rabe and roasted potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked and very flavorful, the broccoli rabe was tender, studded with beautifully browned garlic. The second entrée that we chose to share was the pasta that they call Sunday gravy. The first time that we dined here hubby ordered it and enjoyed it very much. It is a traditional Sunday sauce served with bracciole, veal meatballs, and sausage over pasta. It was the way he remembered it and we enjoyed it very much. Dessert was an oversized slice of Italian cheesecake with a candle in it. We all sampled the cheesecake and I must say there was plenty of food and we even took some home. The venue is lovely, with a view of the golf course, and the service could not be more professional. Dario took wonderful care of us and we look forward to seeing him in the near future. Thank you Pucinella on the green for making our friends birthdays very special. read more

Very nice place and clean. We had no reservations coz we went for brunch and we figured it won't be busy. But the girl at the entrance was not that nice so she said we could only sit by the bar even if she saw I am very very pregnant and can't sit in a high chair. But she allowed us to sit by the sofas in the bar area but as soon as we sat, she told us that there's an opening in the dining area and it will be more convenient for the waiters. But we decided to stay where we were since we found it nicer and more comfy than the dining area. Food is good but over priced. The chorale I ordered for dessert was not moist at all it was very dry. Serving is good as well. Wait staff are nice. If the girl was nice, I would have given this a five. read more

Nice atmosphere, very good service. Food is good and the prices on the main menu are fair. BUT the prices on the daily specials (which are as many as the main menu) are ridiculous for the quality of the food. I would definitely return but stick to the main menu. read more

This is a very, very good restaurant that has the potential to be great. The restaurant is beautiful. The food is very good. The service....well, on the night we dined there, not up to par (Golf joke. This place is on a golf course. See what I did there?) My wife has been a vegetarian for 30+ years. Our waiter wanted to argue that she ordered pasta w sausage and broccoli rabe. I promise you, she did not. And....even if she did, there's this whole "the customer is always right" thing that we have come to expect from higher end restaurants. I digress. We all understand that most restaurants are struggling w labor problems. Know what? That's not MY problem. There was no bad attitude discount offered on the menu. We shall certainly go back again, and be sure to have the server read back our orders to ensure we are all on the same page. read more

We had a absolutely wonderful time. The bar is beautiful and the atmosphere feels elegant and Hollywood! The food was delicious the chef made everything perfect! The waiter was insightful and knowledgeable of everything on the menu. Impressive! Unfortunately the only drawback was the wine, the wine list could use a upgrade. When I ordered a Chardonnay, the smell was like rotten eggs. Perhaps it was " cork taint?" The bartender commented that they didn't stock up? There are many reasons for wine to get spoiled, bacteria on the cork, improper refrigeration. I'm sure they will figure it out. We switched to vodka but I would have preferred a glass of wine. Hoping they will check the wine before serving, especially ifs it's been opened. Regardless I plan on going again! The food and atmosphere was inviting! read more

Delicious dinner and a great atmosphere. Drinks on the back patio overlooking the golf course, can't ask for anything more.

Poor service and hi prices! Menu items are good but small portions for an Italian Restaurant!

I had the good fortune of being part of a group to dine at this location. my first impression was how nice the room was and would come back with my wife. Dining with 6 men can be challenging so we left it up to the chef / owner to set the menu for us. We choose the wine named after the restaurant which was a perfect complement to what was to follow. It was the best decision we made! from the appetizers to the main courses the food didn't stop coming. Everything brought out was delicious! as a group there wasn't one thing we didn't like. almost all were speciality dishes to feed a table of 6. when the board of desserts came out I wasn't sure we had room, it we managed to finish. we had after dinner drinks out back overlooking the golf course to end a perfect dining experience! BTW. our wait staff was right on point , well done and Thank you ! ! read more

I Just went there for the second time for dinner and was again disappointed with the food. The restaurant is in a nice location right on the golf course. The decor inside was very nice and decorated for the fall season. I wish the food was as good as the ambiance. My son and I shared the ribeye steak special which wasn't advertised for 2 people but considering its price ($150) it should have been. The steak was not good. Lots of fat, grizzle and it didn't seem liked it was seasoned before it went on the grill. It was also pretty chewy. Honestly, it was one of the worst steaks I've had. Also the roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach that came with the entree were both undercooked and were also lacking any seasoning. My wife had the Zuppa di pesce which she liked and my daughter had the pappardelle bolognese which she said was just ok. The calamari appetizer was good and the Cesar salad was fine. The prices are very high, even for the area. Seemed as expensive as Manhattan prices. Drinks are also pricey. $18 for an old fashioned that was not made well and was bright red in color and shy on the bourbon. The service was good and the waiter was attentive and friendly. I think they should mention to the diners that some of the specials are really for 2 people. Sorry to give a bad review, but this was the 2nd time I was there and left disappointed both times. If you are going to charge the high prices, you need to put out consistent high quality food. read more

Excellent find by my wife. Atmosphere is nice enough, Service was excellent (Dylan was The Man) and the food was awesome. We're looking forward to coming back. read more

Our second visit and still great service and killer food! Dario(sp?) took great care of us and told us about the plethora of daily specials! We ordered three appetizers, a Cesar salad, entrees and a couple of deserts! Everything was delicious! read more

Great restaurant! The pappardelle bolognese was great. Loved that they carve and plate the antipasto in front of you. Various special options that all sounded great. Beautiful inside. Wait staff was amazing. Treat yourself and make a reservation now! read more

First time at Pulcinella. Beautiful ambience, excellent service and delicious food. Portion are very big and shareable. Overall a wonderful experience and highly recommended. read more

My Daughter insisted we go out for my Bday, so I chose Pulcinellas. It was my 4th time there and as usual everything was excellent. The Calamari appeitizers & the baked clams were perfect. The meals were plentiful and not one of the 6 of us were disappointed. I look forward to returning, the hardest thing was choosing from the menu what to order read more

Service is excellent. Lisa Marie our bartender/server was spot on. Food is very good, the shrimp app is very large, a bit too much tempura for me but tender and very good. The egg roll pucinella is always good, the Orata whole fish is excellent and served without bones. Love that Chiro and staff are so attentive and remember your last time there including your drinks & food. Great hospitality. A wonderful place to dine read more

My husband and I went to dinner here to check it out for an upcoming birthday dinner for my brother and father. We saw that the decor is similar to what it was before when it was called Pure, North Fork. They kept the elegant, upscale atmosphere without the pretentiousness that some other restaurants have. We recognized our server Dario from a previous restaurant he worked at, and we were so happy to see him here. He took care of us, and was as awesome as we remembered him being. The service was excellent and so was the food. My pasta dish was absolutely delicious, with fresh grilled eggplant and mozzarella cheese. My husband had the stuffed veal chop, which he said was delicious. I'll have to take his word for it since I don't eat veal, but the presentation was beautiful. Our apps were also all excellent. Stuffed zucchini flowers, stuffed figs, and a delicious salad with avocados. The food here is definitely better than the previous restaurant, and so is the staff. We had a cocktail at the bar before dinner, and our bartender, Carolina was awesome. She was not only extremely friendly, but she really knows how to make a perfect drink. I had a Cosmo which I knew was going to be perfect from the color, even before I tasted it. I am so happy this place is open again, and that they made the changes they did. The staff is great, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and elegant. We will definitely be back. read more

Came in with some friends a while back and having been meaning to write a review because of how great our experience was at Pulcinella's. The food, service, and ambiance were all amazing. Our waiter Dario was incredible!!! He deserves recognition!!! He was so funny, kind, and knowledgeable. He had all the answers to any questions we had and was very detail oriented when telling us about the specials (still don't know how he can remember all of them to the T, I am impressed). My friends and I had such a great time and will definitely be back. Great food and thank you Dario for the hospitality. read more

Pulcinella on the Green - Italian Near Me - Wading River, New York

This place is definitely a bit of a hidden gem. Or at least it was to us at least. Nestled on the golf course in wading river, this spot has some really great food. There's a bit going on in the room we sat in, with the bar, but other than that this place was a great find. I highly recommend the half chicken- it's a huge portion me the au jus is packed with flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Ok here it is, we went to pulcinella on the green in wading river with the family for fathers day. My 5 girls 2 son in laws and 5 grandchildren and or course my wife. First of all I was surprised that the place was not packed, I have eaten here before. As an Italian with a family that loved to cook and eat, I'm shocked. I come from west long island grew up in western suffolk and spent alot of time in Brooklyn Queens Manhattan eati.g in some of the best restaurants. With that said the restaurant put here are mostly sub par and we deal. Without mentioning names if you live in this area ypu know of Italian restaurant in rocky point mount siani and the surrounding area and I have visited and eat at most of them and usually have a good meal depending on what you order. Most of them make the normal chicken cutlet parm, rigitoni ala vodka( which isn't really Italian food) will get to that in another discussion. UT this place is different i ha e brought somof my friends from Queens and Brooklyn here and they leave with the same thought why is this place not ha e aline out the door. Not that I want that because I want to be able to eat here... but the food is phenomenal authentic Italian from the giant brick pizza oven over looking the golf course.( beautiful scenery BTW) including the amazing fire place and great ambiance there should be a month long waiting list. This should be a stop on your list of restaurant to stop at TRUST ME you will leave and say wtf ambiance really in wading river granted a nice town just not a town you would think there would be an authentic Italian restaurant with an amazing bar food and atmosphere. The staff is amazing helpful educated in the food they are serving. The wine list is perfect not 500 bottles of wine that aren't affordable, just a perfect blend of whites reds Italian and American blends that you can appreciate. O would love to see ore people visit this place and take a shot. Do t get stuck down the block saying that was OK. The servings are nice come hungry share a dish like family style. The dessert are homemade and fresh. Even the steaks are amazing rib eye 1 1/2" thick prime, porterhouse for 2 fresh fish amazing. Can't say enough. Give this place a go you will not be disappointed.

First time dining at Pulcinella on the Green, my mom treated me to a birthday dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Amazing Italian dishes. The place is decorated beautifully and the staff are very friendly. I want to mention our waiter, Caleb specifically, He made our experience even better. He was personable, knowledgable and attentive. He made sure to give us plenty of time to decide what we wanted, he was happy to answer our questions about some dishes on the menu and knew the specials. We were checked on perfect amount of times and greeted with a smile and a laugh. He was a pleasure and we will be back, not only for the food, but because of his happy, friendly disposition. A Birthday dinner well spent. 10/10 Do Recommend! read more

Dinner last night was lovely. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our waiter was efficient and very pleasant. We were not rushed as we enjoyed the company of our friends. The low rating is because we feel the waiter did not inform us that we were ordering meals that seemingly by the size of them were meant to be shared! We came home with food for the next 2 days. Sort of shocking that a "Sunday dinner" special was priced at $58. The food was great but we won't be back. We feel like we got taken advantage of. read more

Marie, Long Island I had lunch here on May 11 with 3 others. The veal parmigiana was delicious as was the eggplant parmigiana. However, the veal Marsala was very bland. The decor was exceptional but the service was unwelcoming. Our waiter never told us there were specials available. I would be inclined to try this restaurant one more time, but would be very selective in what I ordered and with the expectation that the server would be more welcoming. read more

Stick with the menu unless you want to pay minimum double for their specials. $65 for the halibut special not worth it at all fish was dry in fact of the six of us who ate there not one of us was happy with our meal. They were all just ok. I don't mind paying for a nice meal but this wasn't it. Drinks also pricey and watered down. Very noisy. I give two stars for the wait staff that's it, if you're looking to treat yourself to a nice expensive meal go with one of the many other options to choose from on the east end. read more

Great authentic italian food, love the pastas and all the seafood dishes definitely going back again

Walked in Hostess was extremely rude. Sat down took an hour for the waiter to even tell us the specials. Waiter was extremely rude talked down to us. Left restaurant after an hour of not even putting our order in. I recommend not going to this restaurant. Horrible experience. read more

We had tried this spot on Valentines Day. the service was notably extremely slow they were clearly understaffed for the amount of parties seated. Fortunately the food was great and it delivered in terms of food quality. the service however did not. Our family decided to give it a second try last weekend to find that it has only gotten worse. The service was excruciatingly slow, the waiter was both rude and inattentive. The attitude, atmosphere, and service were incredibly poor and I most certainly won't return. the drinks were awful, the wine was legitimately bad, and we were charged for it anyway. We sat for over 1 hour without our order even being taken. we ended up leaving rather than wait longer. If you're searching for a great restaurant experience or even just an acceptable one, don't go here. Cheers read more
