Pagliacci’s

Victoria


A local legend that's often packed elbow-to-elbow on busy evenings, this New York–style Italian restaurant serves great pasta dishes, often with a West Coast or regional seafood twist. Pastas come in two sizes (full-sized is big) and are named after books or films. Oscar contenders include the 'Annie Hall' (lobster ravioli) and 'La Strada' (a classy spag bol).

Live music, usually acoustic or jazz, entertains at 8pm Sunday to Wednesday.
