Pagliacci's Restaurant

Take a chance. come to Pags! You might meet your next wife — or your ex-husband — life’s a drama. Step back into history.

Order for pick up or delivery at https://order.online/store/pagliaccis-611333 Pagliacci's is one of those timeless places, born in passion, carved from life and bathed in laughter. From the foccacia bread and soup through the Broadway-style cheesecake, every morsel is made on the spot, served with style by someone hustling for you. And there’s more than enough pasta or steak to bring home to Lassie. This is what it used to be like before franchises.

Sometimes all you need is some good company, an Eggs Benedict Arnold, and a mimosa to start your Sunday. And when that company is some Pagliacci's legends, well it doesn't get any better (not to brag or anything). Here's Taryn, Heather, Kris, Laurie, and Sue joining us on our patio for brunch. Come stop and say hi to the gang and enjoy some of the best brunch in town.

Bourguignon style Beef Stew, potato-celery root mash, braised pork belly, pearl onions, mushrooms, green peas, and beautifully topped off with a savory Gruyere "danish".
