Reviews for Pagliacci's in Victoria, BC
When you mix good food and live music, my heart melts. This place had history written all over it. It was packed the night we... went and for good reason too. The live music was 100% and the food was worth the wait in the cold to get in. Speaking of which,they gave us blankets and bread while we waited outside for tables to be free. Likes: Everything. The food was delicious and alot, while being a bit affordable. Could be pricey for some others but I thought it was worth it. The menu had really funny foodnames and that just added to the laugh. The staff were amazing folks. They made us really comfortable while we waited for ourtable. The live music was amazing and funny. There were a lot of historical pictures and stuff to make you feel like you werepart of something. Loved it. Dislikes: None I can think of If you're ever in Victoria BC, please visit this restaurant andyou'll thank me for it. Next time I'm in town, it will be my first port of call. Read more
The food (pasta) at this place was amazing!!! I ordered The Shell Game dish and I got to say it's probably one of the best... pasta dish I ate. The only complaint I have was that the size of the food is small so definitely go for size Large as it's justa few dollars more! The happy hour appetizers were also good. The service was also excellent although I can see our waiter isway too busy (it was crowded) so he forget us a couple times but he was pleasant nonetheless. The setting is sort of verycrowded (tables too close) so that's the only real downside. I'm definitely coming back here again if I'm at Victoria Island. Read more
Lively New York style restaurant. Walk ins only. My wait for 4 was 10 to 15 mins. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. ... Desserts cake are amazing and not too sweet. Washroom is tiny. I guess it fits New York style theme. There are parking garagereadily available close by. Read more
This restaurant is what my food dreams are made of. Everything, and I mean everything, was the closest to perfect I have ever... experienced. From the clever item names, to the perfectly procured *local* (silk road brand) tea, and the live band. We sharedthe duck wings (a little spicy, perhaps too spicy for some), and I had the enchantment under the sea salad. Unfortunately, theywere all out of salmon, but their grilled chicken did not disappoint. Bring a hefty wallet (worth every penny), your appetite,and enjoy! Read more
The food was good. I tried 3 dishes off their happy hour menu. Two pictured below: crab cake and duck wings. Both good, the menu... describes the sauces differently, but they're both the same. Place got crowded fast, waiters and waitresses were fine. Read more
I can?t even describe in words how amazing and unique this restaurant is. It?s a hidden gem as a tourist since we just stumbled... across it when we saw a lineup outside. The atmosphere inside with a live band is incredible and the food is so good! So happywith the vegan options! The vegan broker dish was my fave and the Pagliacci?s sour (made vegan) was amazing! Hands down one ofbest restaurants in Victoria, let alone Canada! So much character and good energy can?t recommend enough Read more
We came for dinner on an early Monday evening and there was already a lineup. The host told us that it was the ?fastest moving... lineup in Victoria? and, not too long after, we were seating inside. The atmosphere was very lively and the decor had lots ofinteresting things to look at. Overall, the food was delicious! The house-bread was so good that we just couldn?t stop eatingit. We ordered an assortment of appetizers including the Crab Cakes, Meatballs and Mezze Platter; and for mains, we tried acouple seafood pastas and mixed seafood bowl. The portions were substantial although the amount of seafood in of the pastaswasn?t as abundant compared to other dishes. Also, some shrimps could have been cleaned better. We also tried several drinksand cocktails; and, they were nice. We sat close to the bar so, the bartender took good care of us personally. The rest of thestaff was very friendly and diligent as well.
