Il pagliaccio In Roma

Rice is special The steak is also different from what I used to eat. The rice dish is very delicious worth a try

Cuando decidimos visitar Italia, también nos comprometimos a probar una serie de restaurantes con estrellas Michelin (disfrutamos, y tenemos suerte, de tener una serie de lugares excelentes aquí en Chicago). Hicimos reservas para seis (! ) restaurantes con estrellas, dos cada uno en Nápoles, Florencia y Roma. Il Pagliaccio es un restaurante de dos estrellas, con un íntimo 10 mesas (y un restaurante privado). Ofrecen dos menús degustación para la cena, con 5 u 11 (en nuestro caso, con el menú otoño/invierno) opciones de platos. Sin menú a la carta. Como siempre, seleccionamos el menú degustación más grande, y el maridaje de vinos estándar. El comedor tiene mesas de madera desnudas con focos en la parte superior, un suelo de baldosa de tablero de ajedrez y asientos para banquetas y sillas. El comedor se divide en dos secciones, un gran arco que forma la línea divisoria. La cena comenzó de una manera caprichosa: 4 uno - morder artículos presentados entre dos ramas pintadas de oro. Sus habilidades de servicio fueron puestas a prueba durante este curso. Uno de los bocados fue un "plato" de galletas muy delgado lleno de remolacha picada - mi esposa lo recogió de los lados y se rompió justo en el medio, derramando el contenido sobre la mesa. Los servidores limpiaron rápidamente el accidente, y antes de que hubiéramos terminado el curso, sacaron un artículo fresco (que se recogió con mucho cuidado y se comió sin incidentes). Un curso de ostras con manzana y mozzarella fue acompañado por un inesperado lado de "candy floss" (algodón de azúcar). El pez monje con kiwi, alcaparras y anchoa fue el plato destacado. Disfrutamos de los maridajes de vinos, donde de nuevo algunos vinos se sirven a través de dos platos. Nuestra experiencia duró un poco más de 3 horas. Quizás nos quemaron un poco los restaurantes de alta cocina, siendo esta nuestra sexta visita, pero no sentimos que la noche cumpliera con nuestras expectativas.

Amazing! We chose the 10 course Circus Menu with wine pairing and were wowed from start to finish. The service was top-notch; and all of the dishes were sublime. The progression of dishes flowed naturally; and the balance of flavors from multiple influences was impressive. Wish I could eat here every week!

Trovare un difetto e’ impossibile . Servizio impeccabile . Complimenti allo chef Genovese che riesce ad azzardare questa cucina italo: asiatica : veramente ben fatto . Tutto si bilancia nel migliore dei modi , ma devi dire che l’ostrica al Luna Park è DEVASTANTE. Abbiamo an ho avuto il privilegio di conoscere lo CHEF , persona veramente eccezionale . Ma anche tutto lo staff veramente sul pezzo .

Dining at Il Pagliaccio is a journey into the realm of innovative gastronomy, where creativity and culinary expertise converge to create an unforgettable experience. From the moment I entered, I was struck by the intimate yet sophisticated ambiance that sets the tone for an extraordinary meal. The restaurant’s sleek, modern design and attentive staff make it an ideal setting for those seeking a refined and memorable dining experience. The service at Il Pagliaccio was impeccable. The staff's professionalism and genuine passion for food were evident in every interaction. Each member of the team demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the menu, offering insightful recommendations and pairing suggestions that truly enhanced the experience. The sommelier’s wine pairings were thoughtfully chosen, with each glass complementing the bold yet harmonious flavors of the dishes. As for the cuisine, it was nothing short of extraordinary. Under the guidance of Chef Anthony Genovese, Il Pagliaccio offers a culinary fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavors that are executed with precision and finesse. The tasting menu was a revelation—each course beautifully presented and bursting with complex flavors. The duck with miso was a standout, perfectly cooked with a balance of savory richness and delicate spice, while the squid ink risotto was a triumph of texture and depth. The balance of boldness and subtlety in each dish was astounding. The dessert was a fitting conclusion to an exceptional meal. A delicate and inventive dish featuring citrus and herbs that left a lingering freshness and was the perfect contrast to the richness of the preceding courses. Il Pagliaccio is a true Michelin-starred gem that seamlessly blends culinary artistry with high-end hospitality. It is a must-visit for anyone in Rome who appreciates not only fine dining but also innovation in the kitchen. The experience was worth every moment, and I cannot recommend this exceptional restaurant highly enough. If you are looking for a dining experience that goes beyond expectations, Il Pagliaccio is the place to be.

Great Anthony❤️❤️ one of my favorite restaurants ever

I spent a memorable evening with my daughter at Il pagliaccio. The food was excellent and engaging, every one of the 10 dishes came with a captivating presentation and a unique taste. I will remember for a very long time the puntarelle, the “hemp and poppy” dish and the desserts. The service was also excellent, all personnel were very attentive to our needs but never overwhelming. Recommended!

An Unforgettable Dining Experience! Yesterday, my son and I had the privilege of dining at Il Pagliaccio restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We chose the 10-course tasting menu with the enchanting name “Circus.” From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the chef himself, who exuded kindness and enthusiasm. The staff who attended to us were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. The charming ladies with bright eyes and radiant smiles guided us through each dish, explaining every masterpiece in exquisite detail. The wine list was nothing short of luxurious, featuring an impressive selection from around the world. As for the dishes themselves, they were nothing less than a gastronomic explosion! Each small plate was a symphony of flavors, offering intricate taste notes and delightful aftertastes that left us in awe. Every bite was a masterpiece, and we were utterly captivated by the creativity and precision of the cuisine. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of restaurant for our short one-day trip to Rome. Exceptional food paired with impeccable and gracious service made for a truly memorable evening. With heartfelt gratitude, Elena Darcy.

It's not the first time I've eaten in a starred restaurant. Great experience, nothing to complain about. The dishes are excellent and full of research. More than complete wine list. Comfortable environment and extremely friendly staff.

It was the first time we enjoyed an experience like this, and we found it impressive! The attention, the exclusivity of each dish with each explanation and the subtlety of each detail, truly enriching and wonderful. It has made us travel through each dish, through each smell. Thank you very much for the experience and for every detail.
