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.

Granted, I had not been there in 20 years, but always remembered the food as being as top notch. My recent visit was a bit disappointing. The food was fine...I just wasn't expecting "fine".

Unfortunately, we were very unhappy with our experience dining here. The food tasted like plastic and the limited liquor license made the drinks unenjoyable. For the price, we would have expected more.

My chicken Marsala was dry. My girlfriend’s chicken parm had a hair in it and there was a fruit fly bug annoying us while we tried to eat.

Was recommended to us by a friend who had eaten there some years before. It appears it is under new management? The prices were high & the portions were small and the food was mediocre at best.
