Fratelli Pagliuca's Restaurant is like a little corner of sunny Italy located in Boston's north end. It has been an oasis of old-country Italian food for decades, and is family owned and operated. The Pagliuca family originated in Motefalcione Avellino, and when they moved to the United States, they brought time-honored recipes with them. When you visit Fratelli Pagliuca's Restarurant, you will enjoy entrées like chicken campagna, which is a boneless chicken breast sautéed with mushrooms, peppers, onions and potatoes. You can also choose from steaks, chops, seafood and of course pasta.

If you would like to enjoy a drink before dinner, visit the cocktail bar. Wine, beer and cordials are also available with your meal. Fratelli Pagliuca's restaurant is warm, welcoming and offers great food.

    The perfect dinner with 8 people before a show! Waitress was friendly and helpful. Timing was great, we never felt rushed and did not have to wait too long!

    the food was excellent, but the star of the show was our server, she helped us with the menu, was very attentive and prompt and even offered a taste of the tripe before i ordered it....all around a great experience, my family enjoyed it

    We recently celebrated a 16th birthday at Pagliuca's. While we've been dining in the North End for years, this was our first visit here. Unfortunately, the experience was mixed. When we arrived, it took some time to locate the hostess, but once seated, we were fortunate to have a nice corner table. The restaurant is very loud, so the location of our table helped, though it was still tough to have a conversation. The staff brought water and bread promptly, but it took nearly 20 minutes before our waitress came to take our order. She requested we order drinks and food at the same time, which felt rushed, as though they were eager to flip the table. Oddly, we didn’t see her again after that. The appetizers arrived 30 minutes later, followed closely by the entrées, likely to make up for the long wait. The food itself was enjoyable, and the presentation in small saucepans was a nice touch. However, the portions were on the smaller side, which was disappointing given the price point. Overall, while the food was decent, the service and overall experience didn’t quite meet the expectations of a special occasion. For the price, there are other North End spots that offer better value and atmosphere.

    The food was good! We made a reservation for 8:15 and got seated at 8:45. We waited outside and it was freezing. That was the only downfall of the experience. Table service was great!

    Used to be great, but last night was the worst meal I have ever had in the North End. Rubber chicken, watered down, flavorless red sauce, pasta was mush.

    Not a great value. I had the pork chops with vinegar peppers and they were completely overcooked as was the veal saltimbocca. Pedestrian food at premium prices.
