Searching for some authentic North Italian fare, we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food as well as the elegance of the service at Il Pagliaccio. Appetizers (ultra tender calamari), mains (melting gnocchi), dessert (brilliant panne cotta!) and their excellent wine choice - not to forget the delicious amuse-bouche brought between courses, made a meal that was both relaxed and yet gastronomically quite exciting.
