Pagliacci's Restaurant: A Slice of Authentic Italian Cuisine in Plainville

I used to come here with my family all the time when we lived in Connecticut. Every time we visit we come here. Amazing authentic italian food with good hospitality. My family always talks about how good the food was for weeks after. Every time we come back, we will always eat here.

Great Italian food here, I made the mistake of ordering a steak here when I should have gotten something Italian. All in all it was a great time and the food was delicious. The sausage & potato appetizer was my favorite of the night!

We had such a great experience, and a huge part of that was our server — I believe her name was Becky. She was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She checked on us at just the right times, made sure everything was perfect, and had such a positive attitude the entire night. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we ordered was spot on. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with warmth so effortlessly. She truly elevated our dining experience and made us feel valued as guests. We’ll definitely be back — and we’ll be asking for Becky!

Has been great food and service every time I visited. Portion sizes are huge, no way we were finishing the Fried Calamari! Pasta made fresh, bread service included. Split pea and minestrone soup were excellent. Gnocchi and Penne ala vodka were great. Sauces were on point.

I had a really nice dinner at Pagliacci’s. I hadn’t been here in 25 years and I’m glad I came back. They have a ton of great options to choose from and prices are reasonable. This isn’t a “fancy” restaurant but a friendly family type of restaurant. Service is friendly and efficient. My minestrone soup and salad were really good and the garlic bread was tasty. The veal franchise was really good and the pasta tasted fresh. I wouldn’t hesitate to go to Pagliacci’s when you want a good meal in a relaxing environment

Fresh made pasta, reasonable prices, great taste. The Bean escarole is AMAZING! A must have! The Lava Cake was delicious as well. This restaurant is close to an hour drive for me, but well worth it! Denisea was a strong server, suggestive selling, reinforcing orders, and menu knowledge. She was attentive and able to minimize interaction at the same time. 10/10 service.

I stopped in for Lunch with my Dad and was ready for some great Italian dishes, pagliachi's didn't disappoint, they definitely put a smile on my face. We were first served their warm homemade bread and butter and we were both served a nice dinner salad where they do not scrimp on the salad dressing, which really pleases me. I had an outstanding veal parmesan with a wonderful fresh tomato sauce, thick and tender veal, served with angel hair pasta. Nice serving size and very tasty. Dad got the classic spaghetti and meat sauce with 2 huge meatballs, that's lunch and dinner for him, he loved it. Great restaurant with history, and a lot bigger inside than you think, I'm guessing, of course.

Great service, clean and delicious food in a generous portion. Well cooked veal and fine assortment of seafood. Gluten free pasta is available! Their desserts are creative and extremely tasty. I’d say start with dessert! It was fairly packed when we were there but we got our food fairly quick. Our starters of salads and yummy clam chowder came out fairly quickly. I’d recommend here and do expect to be coming back in the future.
