    Dry nice ambience … rigatoni with sausage was excellent … Definitely recommend ordering wine flights to accompany the meal(s). Server recommended the “Spanish flight” which was excellent

    This was our third time dining at Pulpa. The first time was excellent. The second time there was was new staff and a few mistakes (they were lovely but the mistakes led to cold food). Honest mistakes but the manager responded well and we returned to another great experience. Our food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

    The food was really just meh… all the ingredients were fresh and of good quality but honestly the taste just wasn’t there. Everything was just so bland. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I really wanted to love it but unfortunately no. Location was lovely and service was fine.

    Decent food. Steak was way over cooked . I just want a medium rare juicy steak but got an over cook dried steak. Will only go back for the tapas sampler.

    Note; they have no liquor - beer and wine only. Overall, a good experience and great food.  We tried the crab crakes, burger and shrimp. The stereo needs some help, constantly skipping and replaying the same song which was distracting.

    We spend over $200 for wine and food. The service was excellent but the food was cold or lukewarm. The flat bread was not very crispy. The restaurant was about 30% occupied but only two people working in kitchen. Best coffee was served at the end of the evening. Next time I should skip the food and wine and go directly to the coffee. Will try again but will ask that they make sure my food is warm.
