5 reviews for Pagliacci's Restaurant
I've only been to Pagliacci's once, and was not all that impressed. I had spaghetti with meatsauce, and the taste and texture of the meatsauce was less than appetizing. It had the consistency of pate style cat food and the sauce was really bland. Just not all that great in my opinion. Have never gone back, and this was many years ago, so it's very possible that things are different now. Shocked at the five stars, really.
This is one of the most popular restaurants in the area, and I can't figure out why. I've been to Pagliacci's tons of times ever since I was very young, and very little about the place is overly appealing. The portions are huge, and it has authentic home-cooked style Italian meals. It's just too bad that the food really isn't that good.
The pasta sauce has a distinct flavor and texture that's off-putting to me. The garlic bread is usually bland and almost stale. The pizza is good, but nothing special. The classic staples like the chicken Parmesan and piccata are huge and very good at $16, but I can't get over the fact that Two Brothers less than a couple miles away serves the same portions that taste better for $11.
I would suggest the alfredo sauce if you are getting any pasta. It's different from what you would normally get, but in a good way...thinner and more buttery and creamy than usual places. The gnocchi is pretty good too.
The place is always packed, especially on the weekends...and I mean no spots in the parking lot, having to park on the lawn, stand around in the waiting area for a while busy. The service is good, never had any memorable problems or anything outstanding either. The dining area is huge with old-school Italian scene paintings on the walls, and the room towards the back is good for large groups and parties.
This place has a reputation for being the type of restaurant that people will drive an hour from Massachusetts or other parts of the state just for dinner. The place is good, don't get me wrong, but I'd tell those customers to save their money on gas and try the Italian place closer to home.
I almost feel the praise Pagliacci's gets is just through reputation.... something like, "Someone told me this is a great Italian restaurant, so I'll tell myself that too."...all while they are finishing a mediocre meal.
Amazing food and great service. Very large portions.We love it.
This is by far THE BEST Italian Restaurant I have ever been to. I have been coming here sine they opened and have never been let down. There is something to be said about a place that has a line out the door every day of the week! Everything they make is home made daily on the premises. Words won't do this place justice. just TRY IT!
You people don't know how good you have it! I live in New York City and have lived in Boston and yet Pagliacci's is still in my opinion one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Awesome pasta, ravioli, and I love those little garlic bread stick things they give you before the meal comes. Good on-tap beer selection too. Used to come here as a kid growing up in the area and still come back here whenever I come to visit my parents.
