Place was not crowded at all when we arrived at 6:30 pm, so it was very quiet. Maybe on a busy night it could be noisy? Our waiter was very delightful and attentive. Our food was delicious.

I love this place. The food is always excellent quality. All the servers are really friendly as well. The steaks are great but so is the bolognese. I also love the pizza. I wish they brought back the panzanella though, not many places have that and I was sad when it was taken off the menu. solid date spot. Parking is ok but you can park in the neighborhood, it's a really short walk

I'm usually not someone who takes the time to review places, but I have to for Pagliacci's!! I came here for a small grad dinner on June 15th. I'd seen their videos on Instagram and saw they make their pasta fresh (which many places don't do). Let me tell you, EVERYTHING was so fresh and delicious. They brought out fresh baked bread and there was olive oil and balsamic. I usually need butter on my bread, but the bread was sooo good and with the olive oil it was perfect. I got the short rib pappardelle (pictured) which was immaculate. Others at my table got the Bianca pizza, a pepperoni pizza, the chicken piccata and the mushroom rigatoni. Totally flavorful, no notes. Service was amazing as well. Our waiter was Vlad, he was personable and attentive! Most items on the menu are $20 and up, but you can taste the quality. Will definitely be back!

Before I even start on the food, I need to note that Vlad was one of the best waiters I’ve ever had. Clearly took pride in his work, he took great care of us.

My partner took me here for a special date night. We had their rosé and it tasted like a late spring/early summer day on the Amalfi Coast.

We tried the Italian chopped (delicious), spaghetti allo scoglio (my mouth is running as I recall this one), and the fettuccine bolognese (per Vlad’s recommendation; it’s like the best version of a comfort food made extra special by your grandma). For dessert we tried the tiramisu and my classic crème brûlée. They were everything you could imagine for a restaurant that already succeeded on many counts. Everything was so spectacular I can’t begin to identify which part was my favorite.

We also got a pizza to go for later because that’s just how we roll. We got the Bianca, one of my favorites, and it was excellent.

I’m working across the street from this place and I order my lunch and my coffee from there.

Great dinner for our party of six. Pizza was delish, salads were great, and the beer was nice and cold! We'd go back.

Absolutely horrible service for valentines dinner. Here's what went wrong: • 50minute wait for a table that we had reservations for • Received the wrong food that we ordered • asked for a box to take our food to-go, and the server threw out our food • 2 glasses of wine were added to our tab that were not ours • 20% gratuity was included, but not deserved Look I understand when restaurants get busy, things can fall through the cracks and a mistake can be made, but this was unacceptable. Will never be coming here again.

What a fantastic discovery!!! We loved the food and the service. Everything with a very good price. We will certainly go there again.

Pagliacci's is without a doubt one of the best and most under rated spots in town. Food is always on point, the service is incredible, and it's priced fairly. Parking can be tough when they're super busy but it's worth parking down the street if you have to. Btw, their desserts are fantastic!

Everything was excellent, the service, the ambience but most of all, the food! I'm Italian and I enjoyed every bite!

Food is excellent - the berry salad special is really fantastic; chicken parmigiana can be great when they do the sauce right. I wish the servers treated us better and remembered us as regulars.

My favorite Italian spot in town! The food is incredible! Be sure to check out their wine lists as well! I love the lasagna paired with a bottle of barbera wine! The service here is excellent and is one of my new favorite places!

Food was excellent, like top five pastas of my life! The spinach fettuccine was really special and my husband's spicy spaghetti with seafood was really great too! Service was great ! Not sure why it was not more busy on a Friday night, but I was happy to have a quiet date night! Definitely will be back soon !
