Pulito Osteria is the work of Chef Chaz Lindsay who grew up nearby.  After studying at the Culinary Institute of America he worked at numerous kitchens including NYC’s Eleven Madison Park and then headed to Rome, Italy to study Italian cuisine.   Now all the pastas at Pulito are made in house and Chef Lindsay combines these Italian dishes with a southern twist to make the food wonderful.  He learned in Italy that dishes don’t have to be complex and instead concentrate on the quality of the ingredients.  It’s a large place with both outdoor and several rooms of indoor dining.  You can see the kitchen from the entry room and the large pizza oven.  Tables and booths come in a variety of sizes with no tablecloths, music in the background and fairly bright lighting.  Service was friendly and efficient with several daily specials offered.  It was hands down my favorite dining experience in Jackson and hope you’ll get to go when in the area.
