Il Pagliaccio
About Il Pagliaccio
Il Pagliaccio, named for the clown, is bright and fun and bursting with warm friendliness. It’s like a little bit of Italy over here. The scarlet awning is classic and nicely covers the al fresco tables.
Inside there are exposed brick walls, tiled floors, nice artwork and groovy seating, and downstairs you’ll find a ball pool for little ones.
This is a very family-friendly restaurant. The menu ranges over many
Italian favourites, but the best are the pizzas, twirled and thin as paper, and pastas. We also like the fresh tuna and monkfish carpaccio with salad, and the entirely Italian wine list.
