| "Noodles and Novelty " |

by Thomas (from Victoria, BC)
August 2008 - It's, loud, busy and packed wall to wall with tables—and I love it. Pagliacci's has got something that's missing in most other places in Victoria. Though the city is full of great food, it's the attitude and atmosphere that really sells this Italian eatery. With its tall 6-m ceilings, cheeky memorabilia plastered all over the walls and retro furnishings to match, the restaurant is just a fun place to be. Aside from that, they serve some mean Italian meals—each with witty names to match. The service is alright, but I didn't expect much from a place that is apparently always at full capacity. I think the prices don't really match what you get either, but I guess your paying for the experience too... or something. Anyways, I recommend Pagliacci's to anybody looking for a fun night out in Victoria, BC.

May 2007 - Oh so much fun! I really hadn't expected this place in sleepy Victoria's downtown on a weeknight. Nonetheless, it exists! Located on a side-street with neighboring commercial stores closed for the evening, Pagliaccis was full of volume when we walked in around ten at night. A live jazz trio was in the middle of the set as the casual and friendly owner gestured us in and a cocktail waitress showed us to a table. Lively and animated, the restaurant had an intimate setting that I'm sure would have been even more alive during a weekend evening packing the place full. On the weeknight we were there, the restaurant was about half full, which made for plenty of attentive service from both sexy waitresses attending to us. We decided to do a late evening dessert, wine, and coffee. The three of us had a New York style cheesecake and a carrot cake. I started off with a nice glass of Shiraz which was lovely from their carefully selected wine menu. The cake portions were huge and the cheesecake as rich as ever. Free refilled decaf coffee kept the cheesecake indulgence on the pleasurable rather than stomach-ache side. The staff seemed to frolick and enjoy themselves as much as the clientele, and my friend, a native to Victoria, told me the owner only gave a few shifts a week to any waitress as the tips were so good he wanted to spread the wealth.
