Pulcinella! is a homestyle Italian restaurant celebrating Sicilian traditions in New Orleans' historic 7th Ward. Located at 1300 St Bernard Avenue, executive chef Matty Hayes has curated a menu inspired by his Sicilian heritage, family recipes, and the modern influence of Italian American culture in the city. The restaurant operates as a trattoria with straightforward food, reasonable prices, and generous portions that often verge on family style. The space offers dining downstairs while upstairs sits The Original Nite Cap, a speakeasy bar with a colorful history. The Original Nite Cap opened in 1967 and now features burlesque, comedy, and other performances from a troupe led by Bella Blue. Performances include everything from drag to burlesque shows, creating entertainment that complements the dining below. Husband and wife team Andrew Principe and Bella Blue run the operation with genuine passion. Open Thursday through Monday 5:30 PM-9:30 PM, with walk-ins welcome but reservations recommended. Pulcinella! delivers authentic Italian food and exciting entertainment in a neighborhood setting that feels genuine and welcoming.
