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.View more

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.View more

Deuxième visite en famille (2 adultes, 2 enfants), & encore une fois, c'était exceptionnel. Le menu est court, change à chaque fois, & tout est préparé avec soin.
Nous avons pris en entrée la mozzarella de bufalla (excellente), les calmars à la poêle (tendres & bien assaisonnés) & la pieuvre grillée (parfaite cuisson). En plat principal, le filet de veau était incroyable. Les spaghettis vongole étaient un peu salés, mais toujours très bons & le restaurant a eu la délicatesse de ne pas nous le facturer après notre remarque. Les pâtes fraîches al ragù étaient également délicieuses.
En dessert : tiramisu & panna cotta, très bon.
Un des meilleurs restaurants italiens qu'on a testés à Montréal.View more

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée à ce restaurant qui vaut le détour. Service attentionné du propriétaire & de son personnel, nourriture fraîche & belle présentation dans l'assiette, belle suggestion de vins. Atmosphère feutrée mais conviviale. Nous n'avons rien à redire sur cette soirée qui a été au-delà de nos attentes. Nous y retournerons c'est certain.!View more

Une très belle découverte. Petit restaurant italien intimiste où le Chef offre la vraie cuisine italienne. Les prix sont un peu élevés... mais la top qualité des ingrédients & la maîtrise de la cuisson des aliments charment les papilles gustatives. Le proprio & le service sont très attentifs à vos besoins. Je serai un client fidèle.View more

Located on the north side of Laurier (west of Parc) along a stripe with a number of other restaurants, Il Pagliaccio is a more classical type of locale serving traditional Italian cuisine. The style & feel is in keeping with this, with white linen table clothes & many four seating tables & a relatively smallish sized space. In addition, there is an upper level with a private room that would hold from 8 to 20 people. In order to accommodate our party, the restaurant graciously set us up in this room given that it was full on the night of our dinner...so it was an even better meal that expected. For our meal, we enjoyed Endive Salad (a classic...very good), a Beet Salad (also very good), Spaghetti Vongole (very good) & Piccata Limone (with a thicker veal cut, but a smaller portion of vegetables...but still very good). For dessert it was a very nice, although a bit too moist, Tiramisu. Overall a very enjoyable meal with attentive & friendly service. Enjoy!View more
