Executive Chef Domenic Tudda spent his childhood years learning of Italian cuisine while his family owned and operated Stromboli's restaurant in Calgary. He furthered his education by undergoing extensive culinary training in Italy and has been able to continue his parent's legacy of bringing unique and incredibly authentic Italian dining to Calgarians. 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. One of the few APN (Associazione Pizzaioli Napolitani) certified pizzerias in the world, Domenic has been able to showcase his culinary skills, incredible wine knowledge, and passion for Italian cuisine to provide Calgary with a truly artistic, original and delicious experience not soon to be forgotten.

    Ten Foot Henry is my favourite restaurant in Calgary and has been consistently for years!! My favourite dish of the night was the new “marinated beets” with mama ghanoush, salted ricotta (I omitted due to dairy allergy) & cured zucchini - A true chefs kiss/honourable mention to this extraordinary explosion of flavours, vivid colours and complimentary textures which paired superb with my delightful blueberry roiboos tea! Thank you all as always for the exceptional hospitality, service & care this Valentine’s Day weekend!! Much love & appreciation, Sam

    We recently celebrated our anniversary at The Keg, and it was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant has such romantic vibes, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion. We ordered steak with lobster, and my husband had steak—both were cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. A big thank you to our server, Kevin, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. His excellent service made our evening even more special. To make our celebration even sweeter, The Keg surprised us with a complimentary dessert to mark our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we truly appreciated it. Thank you, The Keg, for the amazing food, romantic ambiance, and top-notch service. We will definitely be returning!

    We really loved what we ordered: Caprese salad, Arancini, Veal Tortenelli and the Crudo (pizza with panceta). I had been coming to this place for personal and organization events and they had been consistently amazing. It was my gf's first time and she was impressed as well. Our server was excellent. She is the calm in a hectic surroundings (it was Valentine's when we were there). We always sat together so she moved all of the utensils on the opposite side for me.

    Wow, Wow, Wow. Our first visit to the fabulous steak house and it will not be our last. The best Filet. The sides are so generous and delicious. Particularly loved the Fingerling potato. Steaks were perfectly seasoned and the bearnaise sauce was generous enough for two. Drinks were excellent and the service was 5 stars. I cannot thank you enough for making our Valentine's Day so fun and memorable.
