Diner Reviews
  • "Everyone in our party loved all their food, and the waitstaff / hostess could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend this place to anyone."

  • "interesting menu and well-executed dishes but the front is a bar with bar noise. Back room is better."

  • "Went to an early Sunday dinner. First time dining here, was pleased with the atmosphere and vibe; has a cute rustic look. Had seat by window so we got to people watch. Salads were fresh, plentiful and delicious. I ordered a lemon pasta dish, which was somewhat flavorless and the pasta was overcooked and there was a clump of pasta stuck together. My partner ordered a ravioli which was tasty. Our server was not attentive, finally asking another server to help us, but the bus staff was very good. I would try this restaurant again, however the prices are on the higher end and so given the overall experience I might just try somewhere else."

  • "After frequently the Lusardi groups other restaurants on the UES many times, we decided to check out Pagani. I'm so happy we did! We had such a nice evening. The staff immediately makes you feel welcome. The venue is pretty, the noise level moderate and the food quite good. I highly recommend. "

  • "Love the ambiance and the location. The bartender was the best of all the staff. The service was poor. The toasts in for our meatballs were burnt and then flipped over so we wouldn't notice. The parmesan crisp in the salad was chewy and awkward. My pasta had raw garlic slices in it. My friends spinach was over seasoned like they didn't season it when they originally cooked it. Then added salt/pepper on top as an after thought. Sadly won't be going back."

  • "New restaurants are so hit and miss. They can be pretentious and off-putting, or suffer from quality control, or just miss it when it comes to creating the vibe I want to hang out in. Pagani misses all these traps and delivers great food, friendly and energetic service (led by the sagacious maitre d' Enzo) in a warm environment suitable for romantic fermenting or business solidifying. Go. Just go. Oh and did I mention their cocktails?"

  • "With a few minutes to kill before the theatre at the Barrow Street Playhouse next door, we decided to go in for a drink and fell in love with the place and the staff. The bartender made special drinks for us, and made us feel at home. The host and hostess were the nicest and just seeing the food coming out to the tables made us think this would be a great place for dinner. Next day we made reservations and had the best dining experience in NY this trip. This place is a gem because it is equal parts food, drink and service. Also, the neighborhood has a special kind of charm with little shops and quaint buildings like a very artsy kind of neighborhood. 100% recommend it!"

  • "Went there with family for Brunch on Mother's Day. Excellent service, Food was high quality. Restaurant gave my wife a complimentary mother's day gift. All in all would recommend."

  • "The restaurant is beautiful, with high ceilings and tearful decor. It's also very loud, which made it difficult to talk to my partner, as we were sitting right next another table. Most of our dishes were great (bread, calamari, pork chop, and tiramisu) but the ramps pasta was a bit disappointing. Our waiter was amazing. He gave me a glass of water served in a wine glass, with lemon and ice so I'd match my boyfriend, who was drinking wine. "

  • "We came here on a Friday night with reservations for 2. We arrived on time and the restaurant was completely full. We were told that our table was just clearing up and we were sat within 10 minutes. The staff was so nice and friendly we did not mind at all. The food was perfect. Having worked in food service years ago, I am a tough critic about things being done right. I was not let down at all. Too bad I don't live in the area, or this would become my go-to spot! One note: The tables are very close together and they try their best to make sure you are comfortable. So if you don't like being at a small table, tough luck and welcome to New York! "

  • "I've eaten here a few times with groups of 6-8 people and the service is always amazing. They aren't obtrusive in any way. They just know what you need when you need it and they do it all with a smile. The food and cocktails have always been excellent as well. I highly recommend Pagani as a place to really relax and enjoy a great dining experience. "

  • "If you like very noisy restaurants, you MAY like this spot. The service was mediocre at best. We waited at least 30 minutes between our starter and main. The food was okay, but not worth the prices which were average for NYC. "
    Dined on 5/2/2014
  • "We arrived on time for our reservation, however we had to wait exactly 40 minutes for our table. The hostess offered us a beer as we waited at the bar. Food was good and the our server was efficient. When we got the check the beers were not on restaurant but on our check. Very shady! "

  • "First time dining here pre theater. Great overall experience. The pasta dishes were delicious and the service was first rate. Will definitely go back. "

  • "My husband is Italian-American and we visit Italy regularly. Our love of the food and culture means we tend to be a little critical of restaurants in the US that try to get that perfect mix of atmosphere, service, food, flavor, and generosity of spirit that are the hallmarks of the best Italian eateries. Pagani--a place we stumbled upon thanks to a friend's recommendation--gets it right. It helps that it's run by an Italian family, of course. The food is spot on--not fussy, with quality ingredients and consistency (really what makes good Italian food). The drinks are exquisite, and the service--what can I say?--makes me feel like a celebrity. Pagani is now a regular stop on our visits to New York. It feels like it's always been there."

  • "Just average italian food. Ambiance could be much better, more creativity on the menu as well. Nothing really special."

  • "Great food and wine, and friendly, knowledgeable and attentive service. Everyone in our party of 4 was very pleased with the whole evening."
    Dined on 4/1/2014
  • "Can't find more attentive and pleasant service than Pagani! Excellent food -- our favorites are apple fennel salad and the branzino. Pastas are freshly made and the sauces are just perfection. Excellent wine list and many choices by the glass -- or by the very reasonably-priced quartino, (a quarter of a liter, or 250 ml of wine) which, by the way, is a third of a standard 750 ml bottle. The staff at Pagani is really outstanding. Will be back again within the week!"

  • "The table had mixed reviews on the food and ambience. It was extremely loud, we had seen other reviews on the restaurant that recommended it as a date place, and that should not be the case. Out of the two of us, one person liked the food and the other didn't. This would be a good place to meet your friends in the neighborhood; however, did not meet what we were looking for. That being said, the staff was phenomenal. The hostess worked to get us sat at a table that we would like. The bartender knew the drinks and described them to us in a way that made us know we would choose the right drinks for our tastes. The server was very friendly and was able to tell us extensive details about every aspect of the menu."
    Dined on 3/21/2014
  • "Made a reservation and still had to wait 15 minutes but was given a complimentary glass of champagne during the wait. It was a friends birthday so we mentioned that to the hostess, but the communication to the waiter was not executed because after waiting for the birthday dessert and seeing 2 others pass by, we had to request twice more before they brought something over (after we had already eaten dessert). Other than that, the general service was good and the food was great. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming. Would come back again"

  • "Friendly waiters and delicious pasta. I had the linguine with clams and it was terrific. The prices are reasonable. The restaurant was a bit dark especially in the back, and I expected more energetic music to be playing, but it was a very comfortable experience. Would definitely go back."

  • "Enjoyed dinner here the other evening. The wait staff was friendly and pleasant. Saturday evening the restaurant was full and a bit noisy. The food was very good and there were plenty of healthy choices. Portions were moderate, which was fine. Salads were well presented and tasty. The wine list is limited, but OK and the prices reasonable. I would definitely head back for another fine meal!"

  • "Went for an out-of-character early dinner (5:15pm) on Saturday, as my gf and I had tickets to a show later that evening. That being said, we were the first diners to arrive and had our pick of tables. The staff was extremely friendly, from the front of the house mgr, to the waitress, to the chef, who came to our table on several occasions. The food, as well as the wine list, were moderately priced. We started with the pear and plum salad, then had the arancini and charred octopus. Added a pasta course of the gnocchi with black truffle and walnuts. Entrees were the sea bass special, and I the lamb shank special. Finished with ricotta cheesecake and espresso. Highlight dish was the charred octopus-a must order. Room packed by 7:30"

  • "Pagani is cute and cozy. Its a great space and nicely decorated. Great for a low-key date night or gathering with friends. Its energetic without being too loud. The food is surprisingly good - not outstanding but definitely solid and prices can't be beat. Its really inexpensive and portions can easily be shared. My husband and I shared the warm buffalo mozzarella to start which was pretty good. Then we shared the pasta with mushrooms which was actually delicious - very light and flavorful. Last we shared the beef brisket. I've definitely had better but it was great, and comforting because it tasted like a good homemade dish my mom made growing up."

  • "I used to live in the Upper East Side and frequent Uva a lot-go figure Pagani is the sister restaurant. You will not be disappointed! We had a group of 6 and everyone loves their entrees. The pasta is fresh and out of this world. You have to try the Buffalo mozzarella, it is the best I've ever had. Service is top notch too! Thank you for a wonderful experience, we are definitely coming back!"

  • "Interesting and fun menu with terrific food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The Char grilled Octopus was the best I have ever eaten. Cod fish topped with a lite polenta was outstanding. A very good location to the Subway. We will return for sure."

  • "We had an excellent meal here on a very cold, snowy night recently and enjoyed it immensely. The food was not the average Italian fare - it was healthy, varied (from multiple Italian regions), and delicious. We will be back."

  • "Impressed by their dinner, I have decide to come back for their brunch. My friends from CA and I sat down at 1 p.m. and stayed till after 3 p.m. It had been surprisingly slow. The space was very relaxing and the waitress very amiable. Bonus point for okay with substituting bread with gluten-free options. My friends and I each ordered a different egg benedict and finished our meal with an order of chestnut banana pancake. Food and coffee were solid, even though I think this place is better for dinner, since they do not have a brunch prix fixe. If you come, you have to try their handmade pasta."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We decided to make reservations at Pagani because we appreciated they didn't have the mandatory fixed price menu, and were pleasantly surprised by our expereience (as we hadn't been there before). They make great cocktails and offer fabulous food for a great price. As we were leaving our server shared that they are owned by the same people who own Uva on the UES, one of our favorite restaurants! We plan on coming back here a lot!"

  • "My husband and I went for my birthday celebration. The food was delicious. We loved the eggplant slider and the striped bass. Everything was prepared perfectly. Fish wasn't overcooked. I had panne cotta in pomegranate sauce with a ring of basil oil. We loved the combination. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. She made good suggestions and let us taste another type of wine and asked for our feedback. It was a very pleasant experience."
    Dined on 2/11/2014
  • "Loved this place! Cannot say enough about it! The food was delicious and the staff and service were incredible. We had the stuffed mushrooms special for an appetizer and split the scallops and ricciatelle for our main course. The drinks were delicious, the crowd was upbeat, and every single person that worked there was extremely friendly and made you feel like they appreciated your dining there. We will definitely be returning, a new favorite!"

  • "A cold wintry night was improved immeasurably by warm and friendly people (including the chef!) and pasta to die for. NB: the tortoloni. The price is right, the room is attractive and comfortable. I've been twice and would go again."

  • "A late afternoon dining experience proved underwhelming. It was Super Bowl Sunday and most places were quiet so perhaps the noise and energy levels weren't the usual. The space is lovely and the menu would appear promising. However, the service - while pleasant enough - was simply uninformed. There were question marks at every turn, lukewarm sparking wine that couldn't seem to chill and multiple folks required for all dealings. After meats and cheeses, we were less than curious about the entrees and opted to move on. I'd imagine we'll be hard pressed to return with so many other nearby choices."
