Before I even start on the food, I need to note that Vlad was one of the best waiters I’ve ever had. Clearly took pride in his work, he took great care of us.
My partner took me here for a special date night. We had their rosé and it tasted like a late spring/early summer day on the Amalfi Coast.
We tried the Italian chopped (delicious), spaghetti allo scoglio (my mouth is running as I recall this one), and the fettuccine bolognese (per Vlad’s recommendation; it’s like the best version of a comfort food made extra special by your grandma). For dessert we tried the tiramisu and my classic crème brûlée. They were everything you could imagine for a restaurant that already succeeded on many counts. Everything was so spectacular I can’t begin to identify which part was my favorite.
We also got a pizza to go for later because that’s just how we roll. We got the Bianca, one of my favorites, and it was excellent.

Fantastic little Italian restaurant that is a must visit for any LA native. Each and every dish is bright and incredibly flavorful. I am a big fan of the gnocchi and the arrabiata. The staff are accommodating and I always walk away incredibly fulfilled and looking forward to my next visit.

I’m usually not someone who takes the time to review places, but I have to for Pagliacci’s!! I came here for a small grad dinner on June 15th. I’d seen their videos on Instagram and saw they make their pasta fresh (which many places don’t do). Let me tell you, EVERYTHING was so fresh and delicious. They brought out fresh baked bread and there was olive oil and balsamic. I usually need butter on my bread, but the bread was sooo good and with the olive oil it was perfect. I got the short rib pappardelle (pictured) which was immaculate. Others at my table got the Bianca pizza, a pepperoni pizza, the chicken piccata and the mushroom rigatoni. Totally flavorful, no notes. Service was amazing as well. Our waiter was Vlad, he was personable and attentive! Most items on the menu are $20 and up, but you can taste the quality. Will definitely be back!

This is my wife and I’s go to neighborhood Italian restaurant. Excellent specials, hightop tables, and thee perfect wine menu. The staff works hard to take care of your every whim. Our favorites are the Zuka Tortellini and my wife’s Fav. Chicken Parmesan add a Glass of Montepulciano.

A small trattoria with a big taste. The authentic Italian menu features a variety of favorites and some new Italian finds. I tried the Tortellacci di Zucca, which is a housemade pumpkin tortellacci with sage in a sage cream sauce. So decadent. We also had the Pappardelle di Manzo, housemade pappardelle, Angus short ribs rage and tomato sauce. Another savory dish.
In addition to housemade pasta dishes Pagliacci’s offers signature dishes which include fish, filet mignon, osso bucco, chicken and veal. The staples of pizza and antipasti are just as salvating. The menu is accompanied with a very well paired wine list. We enjoyed a merlot and a sauvignon blanc.
The location is easy to find on the corner of Coldwater Canyon and Moorpark, but be prepared there is valet only parking in this tiny center. We found parking on the street and walked to the restaurant, which helped after the meal to walk a bit back to the car.
The restaurant inside is small and intimate. Enjoy the housemade pasta and wine with a good conversation, or watch your sporting event on their TV. Kids are welcome, but this really isn’t a place for kids and no room for them to move around. It is very close quarters, like a true trattoria!

I’ve been enjoying Pagliacci’s Trattoria since it’s remodel in 2010. The pastas are homemade and delivered piping hot to your table. The lassagne is a favorite and you can’t go wrong with the burger, pizzas or biscentina sandwich. I prefer bruschetta without cheese but my dinner companions loved it. The tiramisu is delicious. For those ordering food to go, when any hot dishes sit in a box to get delivered, your food will never be like the restaurant experience. During a pandemic its important to keep that in mind. I am so glad this restaurant has survived difficult times and maintains high food quality and service! Great place to eat and enjoy a delicious dinner and nice ambiance.
