Genuine, authentic, laidback is, a low key experience with big, big returns. The freshness of ingredients, the simple presentation that highlights the food, beautiful tastes and great service. A memorable experience. Cant wait to go back. If I lived in Montreal it would be weekly.John

WARNING: Only go to Il Pagliaccio if you are tired of the regular fare of restaurants and you want something which will really tantalize your taste buds…Whether you order from the menu or ask Manuel to make up your menu, you won’t be disappointed.. having been here for lunch and dinner many times, I can truly say that the food is consistently of high quality and truly satisfying. Whether it is his plate of oysters, the artichoke and eggplant appetizer, the special pasta dish, his special veal dish, etc, your palate will thank you… and don’t forget to ask for the wine pairing to make it complete..Seek out this gem in Outremont- you will return!!

Best croissants in Montreal and really good coffee, sandwiches and salads. Good price as well. I really hope they open again!This review was for patisserie les tuileries in town of Mount Royal. They closed not sure why the review was moved to pagliacco.

One of the best classic Italian cuisine restaurants in Montreal. Home made pasta, and regularly updated menu with local and Italy imported products. Great quality and service at every visit. A bit on the pricy side.

I celebrated my graduation earlier this evening in this delicious restaurant. Well we had a enjoyable evening and the place was clearly one of the reasons for that happy celebration. The team participated in a lovely style, the cooking was very good and my friends were so joyful. We shall absolutely come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Lets just say that if food in Heaven is anything like this, its worth doing good to get in.

No Clowning [email protected] is a cozy fine dining restaurant with chic/modern decor. Jacky juggled his 5️⃣course meal of Beet Salad, 🍆Parm, Gnocchi & a tender cut of Contre Fillet de Veau accompanied with an array of premium 🍷s. Head Pagliaccio, Manny, is serving fresh of the day. 🚫frozen foods on your 🍽 unless you get the Semi-fredo for Dessert. 💰is no laughing matter but expected for the great/classy service & quality of food. 🅿️ is a joke but you’ll have the last laugh once you’re done with this joint.Follow @JackyEatsMTL

Good service, good food, rather expensive

Delicious little Italian spot. The Cacio e peppe agnolotti is really delicious. Our server was amazing and gave us chocolate semi Freddo on the house! Cozy spot for a delicious Italian lunch.

Great service. Really nice atmosphere and pretty good food. Nice slow paced way to end a trip. Portions are a bit small food wasnt perfect but overall a good meal and experience. Green beans and Im assuming shallots were a bit burnt. Veal tenderloin was not overcooked and extremely tender. Pasta with duck ragu was tasty but had an aftertaste of canned soup. Again, everything was good but expected more for the price hence 4 stars.

Great classic Italian

Excellent experience as tourists. Server was incredibly knowledgeable and creative. The pastas were perfectly, perfectly cooked. The wine pairing was remarkable and reasonably priced for the quality of it. Had a great evening here.

Absolutely amazing! Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The servers were very nice and again, the food was INCREDIBLE

Best italian restaurant in Montreal. Great food and impeccable service

Very good food and a great ambiance. The staff was professional and friendly. A great place for dinner. Wine selection is good and staff is well versed in pairings.

So delicious! One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. Always so fresh and tasty. The gnocchi is a must have, as well as the freshest mozzarella di bufala in town. The service is excellent. Manny is amazing at hosting us every time. We don’t even need to look at the menu, we trust his delicious recommendations and are always satisfied. He pairs our dishes with the most divine wines and we have the best time! Grazie mille!!!!

Delightful experience, really tasty food. The Gnocchi is amazing!!!!

Absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. From the beginning to the end, we dined like Kings and Queens! 🙏🏽

Good Italian food

Great food

Pricey but worth it

Excellent accueil - Plats très fins et joliment mis en valeur dans l assiette - Accords vins et plats très bien adaptés - Huîtres bien choisies, fines de taille respectable et légères en bouche - Thon blue fine crû excellent -Calamars cuisinés avec finesse et fondants en bouche - Desserts proposés légers, raffinés et adaptés aux plats dégusté précédemment. Ça vaut vraiment le détour.

Excellent Italian Restaurant. The dishes are very good and have tastes. Nice atmosphere.

A real Italian restaurantYou will find in the plate the taste of Italy, very fresh products, perfect cooking and flavors that bring you the tear in the eye.The reception is very friendly and the service attentive and neat.Congratulations and thank youI recommend and I will come back when I come to Montreal.

I just love it ! Whenever you go there we are well accueuillis and well served. Everything is delicious and the place is really charming!

Best Italian restaurant, very authentic.

I had the chance to go there with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday in a romantic way.What a magnificent evening. We were received like queens, everything was perfect. Despite the Covid, the whole team allowed us to take a culinary journey filled with flavors and culinary know-how, which were able to awaken my childhood memories in Italian style! The magic was such that I forgot the pandemic, would have believed to see through the mask the charismatic smile of Manuel the host of this little corner of paradise !!A huge thank you!How sad she was to learn of the re-closing of restaurants for the Covid.When it reopens, dont hesitate to go try it.

I would have appreciated a menu in French, at least translated next to Italian. I would have especially liked to choose the wine that was served and that cost $ 54. A list similar to that of the menu would have been enough. The food is good but not hot enough. Finally, we had the impression to disturb with our questions, on the menu, among others.

Very good Italian table with a simple menu and quite varied. The service is excellent and fast. Dishes of great finesse with very fresh products and perfect cooking. The wine was succulent (Piedmont) Warmly recommended !!

Sublime, I felt in Italy the time of a supper. Aperitifs and small desserts offered by the house as it is typical in Italian restaurants. Pasta, fish, choice of wine, nobody was disappointed at the table. The service is also impeccable, our hosts took the time to thoroughly explain the menu and the specialties.

Personal very warm and attentive, tattin pie to roll on the floor literally.The flavors are exceptionalMenu a little expensive but its the price to pay to have ingredients prepared fresh, by hand and on site

Tsunami for

My side vegetables were burnt. I would never have served that, not even to my worst enemies. I was ashamed for the people who made them to me and for the people who served them. It was obvious and inconceivable to think I would eat them. At my table, there were several of us in the same situation.I seriously did not understand that such a horror comes to my table. Black as coal.The service on the other hand was attentive.The gnocci were delicious. Dessert too.

Very pleasant atmosphere, attentive service. Delicious!!

Delicious Italian cuisine and beautiful atmosphere :)

Excellent cuisine, warm, attentive service!

Very nice restaurant, attentive staff, excellent food. Try the tarte tatin if it is on the menu, it is worth it.

The food is excellent and the service second to none! We had a wonderful evening!

Very good food. Thank you.

Excellent meal, delicious and excellent service.

Excellent meal!

REALLY GOOD!!To do and do it again without hesitation!

Italian cuisine, excellent restaurant!

Fantastic
