Review Summary

Il Pagliaccio is described as a refined Italian dining experience with high quality ingredients and authentic Italian products, many dishes made in house and treated as Italian gastronomy rather than just a meal, with consistently attentive service, a welcoming staff, and a warm, unobtrusive atmosphere with soft lighting; gnocchi and other dishes are standout, the wine service is noted, and overall value is considered fair for the quality, while a few items are mentioned as a bit salty or a coffee tasting too sour, yet accommodations were made and the place is repeatedly recommended as a reliable gem to return to.

The opposite of pretentious, lovely staff & clientèle. Super clean. The gnocchi were the first excellent gnocchi I've had in North America. My wife loved this place. Service was excellent. On the imperfect side, the coffee served was way sour, the food salty for the salt-sensitive. That said, they accomodated & gave us a less salty appetizer ; we will definitely return & recommend it.

Very neat restaurant & we are not big eaters, so we ordered an appetizer, a pasta & a secondi to share. They separated the dish into two for us. Very accommodating. Foods are good.

Visited this little Italian gem for the very first time.
The owner Manuel is a charming host & suggested a sampling of the various appetizers for the four of us to try. The menu is not large but It was all just great. Tomatoes & burrata, octopus, artichokes, pasta & the main meals branzino & veal piccata. Dessert a lemon tart & lava cake.
This ended up being a wonderfully surprising evening & a new gem to return to.

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!) & their excellent wine choice - not to forget the delicious amuse-bouche brought between courses, made a meal that was both relaxed & yet gastronomically quite exciting.
