It opened a couple days after this post. More info at www.pulcinella-ristorante.com.
Pulcinella is the name of the new Italian eatery that will be opening real soon - I'm told possibly within a few days - in the former Cedro Italian Restaurant that closed on November 23rd at 2385 Michael Drive in Newbury Park.
The name of the eatery would appear to be inspired by the iconic Pulcinella mask - the mischievous soul of Naples - born in the 17th-century commedia dell'arte. Pulcinella is a trickster, a dreamer, a survivor - always laughing at life's contradictions.
