Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a romantic atmosphere. This place is handicap accessible and good for groups.
If Tony Soprano did business in Denver, here's where he'd eat. This spot sports a classic clown-in-neon sign outside, a '40s-era bar and a dark, stucco-walled dining room inside. The house serves home-style...

I have been to Pagliacci's a few times. It doesn't compare to the Italian food back home (born and raised in NJ), but it doesn't disappoint. The minestrone is great and the staff has always been…

I was impressed by the food and atmosphere at Paglicci's. It feels like the fanciest of the North Denver Italian restaurants; in other words, it's not stuck in a time warp. I was pleasantly…

I judge an Italian restaurant on their minestrone and puttanesca. They have wonderful minestrone and good puttanesca, but I still prefer Patsy's. Pagliacci's is more up to date in decor and would be…
