The best way to make a reservation would be to call. I tried online and it said there were no openings, but when I called, there were tables available. I don't think there's an online menu.

The "Tamburello di Pulcinella" (good and honest restaurant) is located close to Piazza Irnerio, and not very far behind St. Peter's Square, reachable by subway one, just minutes from the Baldo degli Ubaldi Metro Station
