About Osteria Pulcinella

Osteria Pulcinella is an Italian restaurant on Church Street in Twickenham, on the cobbled stretch of the street, with wine barrels used as part of the decor. The kitchen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, covering the day in one sitting rather than set service windows. Sangria is offered alongside the wine list, and a latte has been noted among the drink options. Dogs are welcome inside the restaurant, and a car park sits next to the building for those arriving by car.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly return for the dessert, with one visitor calling it a real highlight and another stopping in specifically for it. Close behind, the sangria draws praise as refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the latte gets a nod from one weekday visitor. Several describe the staff and even the manager as attentive and warm, and groups celebrating birthdays and rugby-day gatherings found the cozy, wine-barrel setting suited both romantic dates and large parties. Value and presentation come up favorably too, with one group of four calling every dish delicious and beautifully presented. The recurring caveat: one diner found their food only warm rather than hot, an issue a neighboring table also flagged, though the restaurant knocked money off the bill once told. Another party noted slow service on a busy rugby day, attributed to the crowds rather than the kitchen.
