Local tips
- Book a table for weekend evenings, especially if you want to sit in the courtyard during the warmer months.
- Arrive a little before your booking to request a courtyard table; they are popular on mild, dry days.
- If you are sensitive to noise, ask for a table away from the busiest central area of the dining room.
- The restaurant opens only for dinner, so plan any sightseeing or shopping earlier in the day.
- Check the menu for daily specials; they can be a good way to try something beyond the core pizza and pasta choices.

Italian soul in the heart of Slagelse
Since 1987, Restaurant Pulcinella has brought a slice of Italy to Rosengården in central Slagelse, making it one of the town’s enduring dining institutions. Step through the entrance and the mood shifts from Danish high street to Southern Europe, with warm lighting, dark wood and the bustle of an open, family-run dining room. The name Pulcinella nods to the playful character from Neapolitan theatre, and there is a similar sense of informality and fun in the way the restaurant presents itself. The menu leans into classic Italian comfort food: crisp, stone-baked pizzas, rich oven dishes, fresh pasta and generous meat and fish plates. Portions tend to be hearty rather than fussy, and the overall feel is that of a neighbourhood trattoria where the focus is on flavour and conviviality rather than fine‑dining ceremony.A courtyard that feels like a small piazza
One of Pulcinella’s signatures is its enclosed courtyard, tucked away from the surrounding streets. In the warmer months, tables spill out under umbrellas and climbing greenery, turning the space into something that feels more Mediterranean than West Zealand. The sound of a small fountain and background music adds to the illusion of dining in an Italian town square. In the evening, candles and soft lighting create a cosy, almost theatrical atmosphere among the brick walls and potted plants. It is an appealing spot for slow dinners on long summer nights, but the courtyard is also used in shoulder seasons when the weather allows, offering a sheltered outdoor alternative to the main dining room.From pizza ovens to classic pasta dishes
The kitchen’s backbone is its pizzas, ranging from simple margherita to toppings like prosciutto, fresh vegetables and seafood. Bases are typically thin and baked to a light char, arriving at the table still sizzling. Alongside them, you find familiar Italian staples: creamy pasta dishes, tomato‑based sauces, baked lasagne and occasionally more robust mains such as steaks or veal with Mediterranean garnishes. Starters often feature antipasti plates with cured meats, bruschetta or baked cheeses, while desserts revolve around crowd‑pleasing Italian icons like tiramisu and gelato. The drinks list tends to highlight Italian wines, beers and soft drinks, with house wines available by the glass or carafe to keep things relaxed and accessible.Casual evenings for couples, families and groups
Pulcinella is designed for unhurried dinners rather than quick bites. With evening-only opening hours, it naturally becomes a place for date nights, family celebrations and gatherings of friends. Tables can usually be set to accommodate both intimate two‑person meals and larger groups, and the unfussy setting means children do not feel out of place. Whether you are celebrating something special or simply looking for a comforting plate of pasta in familiar surroundings, the restaurant aims to be a reliable choice in the centre of town. The combination of long history, recognisable dishes and a homely mood makes it easy to settle in for a couple of hours.Atmosphere and setting through the seasons
In winter, the focus turns to the interior, where candlelight and low ceilings enhance the sense of warmth against the cold outside. Heavier dishes like oven-baked pasta and rich pizzas feel especially welcome on dark evenings. In summer, the energy shifts outdoors, with diners lingering in the courtyard and the menu feeling lighter when paired with chilled white wine or a spritz. Because the restaurant sticks to evening service throughout the week, it fits naturally into a broader day in Slagelse, whether you have been exploring local history, shopping or passing through on a Zealand road trip. Pulcinella’s consistency and central location make it an easy anchor point around which to plan the rest of your day or night in town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
