My wife and I have been going to Pasta Pulcinella since it was a walk up on Peachtree St. next to the old Cotton Club (1994 I think is when it opened). I eat on the expense account in every major city in the US and many cities around the world, including Italy, and this place remains a true favorite. Their buckwheat tagliatelle with rapini is on my top list of dishes anywhere.
Atmosphere is intimate, service is friendly but not stuffy, and the menu is small, as all good menus are, with everything being done perfectly . The ravioli dishes used to be too small, but they have fixed that over the years. I love this place. I have takens Italian from New York and they have loved it too. Going tonight with more New York friends. I have every confidence they will love it too.
