Chef Genovese knows how to entertain his guests. We had the Circus tasting menus and was suggested as excellent bottle of Meursault 1st Cru by the sommelier to go with it. An excellent choice.

Whoever is posting less than 5 stars is out of their minds. I've been in Michelin restaurants all around the world, from NYC, to Brazil, to Rome, to Australia. This is simply one of the best in the world! Stop whatever you're doing and try to get a table at Il Paggliacio (email them!). You're welcome btw

Excellent food, fenomenal wine and an extremely salty bill (900€) - I would excpect nothing less from a restaurant of this caliber. The spagetti with ricci di mare and prosciutto is a strong favourite and one of the best pastas I have ever ate. And my wife can't stop talking about the desserts! Congratulations to chef Anthony Genovese. And special thanks to the (I can only assume) sommelier for crafting together the best god damn aperol of all time.

This 2-star Michelin restaurant, a MEMBER OF LES GRANDES TABLES DU MONDE, truly impressed us. We opted for a 14-course meal with wine and alcohol pairing, and it was an incredible experience! To start with we had a restaurant within restaurant experience having the whole room all to ourselves. The food was so creatively presented and unlike anything that we’ve ever tasted anywhere else in the world dinner lasted almost 4 hours and it was such a beautiful experience.

We had an incredible experience at Il Pagliaccio. From the moment we walked through the door, we were thoughtfully cared for. The are very accommodating. I have a hearing impediment, and we were given a private room which made a big difference and allowed us to fully enjoy the evening. Every staff member who interacted with us was kind and attentive, they clearly worked very hard to create a seamless experience. The food alone was a true performance, each dish felt like part of a show, as beautiful as it was delicious. This was an unforgettable experience with excellent hospitality, atmosphere, and cuisine.
