Individual ratings for Il Pagliaccio
In Rome's historic town centre, in the immediate vicinity of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II.
At first glance, the restaurant with its matte-painted shop front looks like a store. The bell on the door lends an exclusive touch to the place, and communicates discreetly that it is open to patrons with reservations only. "Il Pagliaccio" is a straightforward culinary production.
A modern restaurant with star accolade: Elegant designer chairs, a harmonic lighting concept, sophisticated china and underplates made of slate enter into an accomplished symbiosis with the culinary art.
Anthony Genovese's cuisine has been commended with one Michelin star since 2009. There is no à la carte dining in the classic sense. Rather, you choose the number of courses you will want to eat, and brief the staff on any allergy you may have or any food that may not agree with you. Each oeuvre is a homage to the Mediterranean cuisine with an Asian twist. We read the dishes as short scenes in a harmoniously structured stage play. 8-course menu "Il Pagliacchio" at €130.
Nothing is impossible here.
Highly competent staff that present each dish with pride.
Il Pagliaccio Restaurant, Roma
Price range
Ideal for gourmet who have a hard time making up their minds, and who love to try everything lest they miss out. Here, Maître Gennaro Buono will gladly and competently take the decision out of their hands.
The purist, straightforward interior decoration is not for the romantically minded or traditionalists.
