Pagliacci

The name of the restaurant is distinctly Italian, and that immediately conjures up images of pasta and pizza. True enough, featured below is their Margherita pizza.

But first, my curiosity demanded to know why a woman's name should be used to call a pizza. Wikipedia was, of course, very helpful. Tomatoes are red, basil is green, and mozzarella cheese is white - and there you have the colors of the Italian flag. Somewhere in Italy, in some bygone era, a woman named Margherita lived, and since she was royalty, she got the privilege of having a dish named after her. Enough of the historical trivia, let's take a peek at the food.

Margherita pizza (P 330.00)
Tomatoes, mozzarella and basilico on pizza dough. This is big enough for two people but I was really hungry (yeah, right) so I ate all of it. That's another way of saying it was good.

The resto has an old-world feel to it. It doesn't get crowded so this would make a great date place.

Pagliacci is at the 5th level of The Podium.
