This is not Italian but rather Hollywood style Italian-ish food, right down to the creative names used for the various pizzas and pastas - Last Chicken in Paris, Spaghetti Western, Babette's Feast etc. All of the entrees excel and are large - which is unfortunate because seldom have I room for the cheesecake, a very authentic version of true, heavy-as-a-brick NY City style. I'd give 5 stars but not only can Pagliacci's get very noisy, it's seating is really cramped, not the place for a discreet chat, or even any chat when it gets too loud. Come to eat, not talk.
Victoria's night owls used to come here when Pagliacci's was one of the few places to offer late-night dining. Though the city's evening scene has improved since expatriate New Yorker Howie Siegal opened the restaurant in 1979, Pagliacci's can still boast an un-Victoria kind of big city buzz and energy.

I can't understand why this place is full on a Monday night. The pasta is so brutally over-cooked no mastication is required, and the sauced are either boil-in-the-bag or add-water-and-stir. You couldn't pay me to eat here again. Wake up and taste the many other fresh flavours available in Victoria.
"""Huge portions, always busy, but why? This seems to be a step up from a franchise, but I don't taste the care in the cuisine."""
Great food, cheerful lively atmosphere everytime I was there. I now live in Winnipeg, but next time I come out I will definitely drop in. I'm very fussy about my cheesecake, but yours is excellent and that bread is the best!
This is my favourite restaurant in Victoria. Great food, service, bread and music. Always a fun experience.
Lovely restaurant, great tight/busy atmosphere, sometimes with live music. Very Lively around dinner. Love the bread and soup at lunch. Mmmm... pasta

The bustle and energy at Pagliacci's is non-stop. This New York-style Italian restaurant is a favorite among locals. The cuisine is traditional southern Italian, including knock-your-socks-off ravioli and luscious veal parmigiana. You'll also find 20 a la carte pastas available, each made by hand. This is one of the best late night eateries in the city. Try fresh, warm focaccia while you listen... more
