This is not a typical restaurant.
The food was so inspired and so many flavors. Every dish was an explosion of flavor more intense than the last. We had the circus 10 course tasting menu - my absolute favorite was the tortellini with duck inside. But everything they brought on the tasting menu was exceptional. The service is so top notch and the experience is so worth the price. You will leave both satisfied and happy! So many interesting techniques used and flavor combinations introduced. The reimagining of cacao e Pepe was wild

In fact they were an alternative to La Pergola however, I'm so happy that I tried it over La Pergola. Everything was impeccable- from the greeting at the entrance, to the food, the wine pairing, and the amazing service; I seriously never had better. French Laundry in Napa has always been what I compare all other Michelin star restaurants to but let me tell you, il Pagliaccio blows French Laundry out of the water! The food was beyond expectation and the price was very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to go back. I encourage everyone to give them a try if you want an amazing dining experience.

Incredible experience from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was impeccable. The staff was great for the most part as well. Our only complaints were that we were seated for a fine dining experience and were interrupted by an extremely rude and obnoxiously loud (clearly wealthy because they couldn't stop announcing it) Danish party next to us as well as some rude, very inebriated, Americans next to them. They did take away from our experience a bit and I wish the staff had encouraged them to act appropriately in a restaurant of this caliber. We also were served a drink of some kind that tasted alcoholic after we had put on our preferences that we did not drink and we did not order anything other than water. When I asked the staff if it contained alcohol they never came back with an answer so we didn't drink them and still no one said anything.

What a most exquisite dinner and total evening experience!!! Greeted by the Michelin Star chef Anthony Genovese upon entry (and then again upon departure) and the most personalized and attentive service from a well executed team, our 12 course food (Circus/surprise @ € 200 pp) menu, and 6 course wine (€ 140pp) pairing was absolutely sublime. Presentation was unique for every dish. Taste was superb. This was one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences that I'll forever remember.

I'm almost at 20 Michelin stars but never had a meal lasting this long. I will say most of it went by quick as delicious morsels comes out continuously. The setting is intimate. The entrance was a little hard to find as it was a locked single door. The wine was some of the best I've had. The food eclectic, worthy of the 2 stars. If you're not a huge eater, don't get the 10 course, it felt more like 15+ courses, admittedly I was too full to enjoy the last few offerings. I'm knocking off a star because some of the food was confusing and didn't seem to go w each other.

Outstandingly creative and delicate flavors, with each course building on the one before. The restaurant aims to put together new tasting experiences, with nods to traditional Italian cuisine. A really superior restaurant.

Creative Michelin two star restaurant with wonderful service. Intimate setting with excellent selection of alcoholic beverages to pair with the meal. A few dishes genuinely surprising/confusing (in a good way) without approximating the ridiculousness of restaurants like Alinea.
Be the first to ReplyItalian tradition meets eastern influences in one of the
Italian tradition meets eastern influences in one of the most creative and best executed fine-dining experiences in Rome and perhaps all of Italy. The (now) two-Michelin starred dining room welcomes guests to an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, with few close tables, dim light and dark decor.Service is expectedly top of the line, with experienced, attentive and knowledgeable front of house staff ready to take care of any diners' needs. The sommelier service is particularly great, making excellent wine pairing recommendations for every menu.The food is obviously the star of the experience, with few tasting menus available to diners, each perhaps worth its own visit. We tried the "circus" menu, consisting of 12 creative dishes ranging from a beautifully realized vegetable wonton to probably the best squab I have ever tried. An unforgettable experience!
Be the first to ReplyWhat a wonderful experience.
From the time we arrived to the time we departed it was first class treatment. Amazing and unique dishes from this decorated chef. Absolutely worth it!
Be the first to ReplyI must agree with a few others who describe the restaurant
I must agree with a few others who describe the restaurant a disappointment. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable. The food, not so good. It started with no confirmation of food allergies prior to serving ANY food item, such as the Amouse to start. One of our party is lactose intolerant. The largest tasting menu, Circus, we were told is one with more creativity. We opted to have two courses from their traditional menu. Most of the courses leaned heavily on vegetables for flavor and texture, and yet this was not their vegetarian menu. We struggled to find unique flavors or interesting textures. None of which was apparent. The staff felt very mechanical in their movement throughout the meal, lacking warmth and feeling "welcome". The wine we ordered needed time to breathe and/or be decanted. The sommelier/waiter should have done this without us telling him. The disappointment is so much that we didn't even order coffee when it was offered.
Be the first to ReplyThis restaurant was an absolute delight.
I had the eight-course tasting menu, which was a mix of Japanese-, Italian-, and French-influenced dishes. (Everything from seafood served over a flan with flavors more common in Japanese cuisine; a mushroom pasta; a mashup of foie gras, sorbet, and a sort of fish carpaccio.) The food itself was well made/tasty, but I thought this restaurant particularly excelled at interesting/unique flavor combinations and whimsical plate-ing. All of that--plus great wine and service--made for an outstanding experience. I had looked at Yelp before dining here and almost reconsidered, but I'm really pleased I did not. I'm surprised at the negative tone among some of the more recent commenters. Perhaps some of the reviews can just be chalked up to bias in motivation to comment, but I found the food/wine/service to be top-notch. I also dined at La Pergola on this trip, and while I enjoyed that restaurant as well, Il Pagliaccio won on overall taste and creativity. (And that's no knock to La Pergola, which was excellent on both.) Plus, while this restaurant is definitely not "casual," the atmosphere is a little more relaxed than the white-table-clothed La Pergola, which at least for this American, is a tiny bit stuffy.

Disappoinment defines our night at what should have been a great experience.The good - the staff were great. Each was courteous, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The bad - the food. We had the largest tasting menu called the Circus, and each course was either off, or just bad. It started with a horrendous deep fried pocket of uni that tasted of nothing but fry oil. Most courses had some good ideas in there, but all had issues usually dealing with balance. Almost all of the courses were very one note and imbalanced, and more of a chore to eat. Their best dish was the oxtail - beautifully braised and rich. That oxtail was some of the best I've had; however, it was served with oxtail polenta that was also incredibly rich. So, you got rich on rich in rich - very imbalanced. Unfortunately, we just did not have a good experience on the night of our visit. It was a very expensive disappointment with very few good memories.

We have eaten at Michelin rated restaurants around the world and this is one of the very best. From the exceptional service to the knowledgeable sommelier our 8 course tasting menu was a unique experience with fun elements and surprises along the way.

It was my first time in Rome and I wanted to try fine dinning here. Unfortunately this was extremely mediocre. This place is small, maybe 10 tables in totle. I give them an " A " for creativity but a " B - " for food.I'll just add that it extremely tough to find good food in Rome. Hope you fare better than me if reading this.
Be the first to ReplyPoor ambience.
Tables are very close together. No view. Restaurant service was terrible. Table area was not clean. I am not sure why this restaurant was recommended to us. We left as soon as we could.

Very nice and great service. We ordered 10 corse meal. Each option was great. Recommended.
Be the first to ReplyIf you're willing to pay among the highest prices in Rome
If you're willing to pay among the highest prices in Rome for very mediocre food unconnected to its Italian heritage served in a stiff setting, then Il Pagliaccio is for you. It's an example of what happens when, in search of stars, a chef abandons his roots and creates a menu he thinks will please the Michelin inspectors. My wife and I had eaten at Il Pagliaccio several years ago and loved it. We returned this month and were extremely disappointed to find that, while prices had increased and art, crystal, wait staff uniforms, etc. had been upgraded, the food had gone seriously downhill. Our meal was uninteresting in both taste and appearance and the wait staff had become cold and formal. There are much better, and far less expensive, restaurants in Rome.

Not impressive but good enough. Great service. A little bit disappointed by mediocre pasta dishes and below average main course.
Be the first to ReplyThe ambiance was great but I knew it wasn't a good sign
The ambiance was great but I knew it wasn't a good sign when the cab driver couldn't find the place as it's on a side street and looked more like a NYC flat. When getting to the door it was locked, my guess is that the odd looking club across the street may have had drifters wonder in. I made the reservation about 3 months in advance due to most of the restaurants like La Pergola (only 3 star Michelin in Rome) being booked up already and we had a goal of at least one Michelin per city and more if possible. This was the last of the higher end restaurants for this trip and no Michelin star restaurant (or any restaurant in that price range) had failed to impress up to that point, so we felt there was little reason to worry. Joining us were two friends that had joined us for a few dinners in Capri and they were out of this world great so they felt very comfortable trusting my selection even though the price range was a little out of their comfort zone. We were greeted, seated, and soon placing orders. First cocktails, above average but not top notch and my friend had to have his remade. Bread and starters, very good but not great. I had a soup that I enjoyed but I think was the only one. My friend found a fruit fly in his 1st course and was very annoyed for the get go so I called for the server and sent it back. They soon brought out a replacement (same thing) and guess what was in that? Yep, fruit fly. This is a meal that my friend would never spend this much on at home so of course he had very high expectations so you can imagine that he was not the happiest person there. The server was apologetic the first time and for the drink but the 2nd time I called him over for the fruit fly he seem agitated, almost like a how dare them. Main course, I had a lamb that failed to move my taste buds in a positive direction. The lamb seemed to be void of any flavor (at least any good flavor) and they seemed to try to cover up for it with sauce that did little to complement the lamb. At this point I think we were all ready for this dinner to be done, the service was good but not great and nothing about this place said Michelin, star, or Michelin 2 star. Grabbed a cab back to the hotel feeling like an ass for finding this place. Horrible ending to an excellent run of very good restaurants. The food over all was a seven out of ten on this trip with some restaurants being great and some being total misses. That being said I still think Spain has better food. I didn't have one bad meal there be it a pub or fine dinning. Enjoy!
