II Pagliaccio

Fantastic, perfect for hen parties! OK, so you don't go for the food, but excellent value for the entertainment. And who really notices the food when you are having a great time? Definitely for groups up for fun!

If there is one thing you should eat here, it is the Diavola di mare. This restaurant is fantastic, and has the feel of a typically bonkers family restaurant from Italy.

Family friendly, nicely laid out and with friendly staff, the food, service and atmosphere are all excellent.

A very enjoyable meal, and you leave with a smile on your face.

Best Pizza in the UK I have ever tasted, without a doubt. Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff. I come back time and time again. Every time I'm in London I try to go there at least once. I would gladly recommend it to anyone.

This is the first review I have ever bothered to write on a restaurant. We had the most incredible night - the most fun I have ever had in a London restaurant. Places like this only exist in fun places abroad!

The atmosphere is electric, and its all down to the fabulous, fun, Italian waiters. Its mad - cheesy music playing the background, waiters throwing pasta around their heads for the crowd, and they really treat you if its your birthday. Then later, the dance floor opens up downstairs - very cheesy music again - you have to have an open mind! All the waiters come and dance with you, its hilarious.

I had such a great time, that I decided to book my birthday there.

If you want a quiet meal, I wouldn't recommend it though (at least not on a Friday, Saturday)!

First time here it was an absolutley shock! the place is buzzing, the waiters are very friendly and food was also good. We had the Rissotto Amalfiltano & seafood pasta both cooked to perfection. I really do recommend this place to anyone I will be back soon.

We have eaten at Pagliaccio many times, but always at lunchtime and always with other friends and their children. This visit was on Saturday night and just myself, husband and one of our daughters. The atmosphere was different to lunchtime and I agree with other reviewers about the overly loud music. The food was good but we last ate here on New Years Eve for lunch and the food was fantastic. Service was good too with no long wait for our food. There was lots of frenetic activity going on all around with waiters singing, sometimes dancing, flirting with the parties of girls and pizza dough flying through the air. A great place for a group or if you are just up for a laugh but definitely not for a cosy dinner a deux!

Who wants a pizza on their head? Not me, but when someone ells gets it, it might just happen I smile... That said, forced marriment always does the trick for me!

And the food is very tasty

The food is pretty good, tuna steak perfectly cooked, mussels with a great sauce, pizza good (with respect to the cooking and tomato sauce).

Service is acceptable, even not as quick as one would expect.

The only bad thing is the acoustic comfort level, which is unacceptable. Music too loud!

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS PLACE??!! The atmosphere is just great, the food excellent value for money and the staff are the best! I dont know how you cannot leave without a smile on your face! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

Clearly those who write bad reviews should stick to the stuffy atmosphere of posh overpriced restaurants in the city.
