We had lunch there and tried the soup (flavorful and not overly salty), pizza (great combination of cheeses with a crispy crust) and pasta (with a subtle cream sauce). We could see that this is a favorite haunt for locals, at least during lunchtime. Perhaps the restaurant is a little too popular for the amount of floor space as we... more

Food was just OK and the seating was very cramped with the tables slightly staggered and right next to each other. Our bias is toward good Italian food and this place did not impress. more

I had an absolutely HORRIBLE experience with a staff member here in 1997. Since then , I have been back twice, and have not been disappointed. Last visit, I found all the staff to be very pleasant. Good service and great food! more

I lived in Victoria for over 4 years and this restaurant had my favorite dish - the Hemingway Short Story. The biggest trick with this restaurant is to either go for lunch (cheaper and less crowded) or make sure you are there for the first dinner seating. This place fills up fast and if you miss that first seating you... more

The hotel recommended this restaurant, we really liked it. Fresh pasta with every combination possible. Live music started at 8:00, and we were not rushed out the door when we finished eating. We enjoyed some coffee and music. more

A shop keeper in the Irish Imports (a 39-year local) recommended that we try this place for lunch. She claimed it was not much to look at but good for the quality of the food. We found the food first rate but also found it quite pleasant to look at. Our first reaction on entering was that it was a... more

There is a significant wait to get in but with good reason. This restaurant has been serving good Italian food with a side order of fun for thirty years. I ordered the Transvestite Chicken, despite the name, the taste was wonderful. A friend ordered the seafood lasagna which I will have next time. more

The atmosphere of Pag's is fantastic but so is the food. It's interior is painted with a Hollywood at sunset mural and walls are covered with photos of famous people. Even the menu has a touch of the big screen with all of the menu items being named after movies. However, the experience doesn't stop there. The non-stop, complimentary garlic... more
