Appetizers were delicious, and we’re probably the highlight of the whole meal. Our entrées, The lamb shank was soo tender, and the couscous with roasted carrot rich with the meats flavor. It felt like an elevated Sunday roast. The Cacio e Pepe was is cooked to a beautiful, al dente. But slightly over peppered, making it hard to taste anything else but pepper for the next bite.

Only second time eating here. Took a friend from out of town. Had great service & food. Short rib stroganoff was the best I've ever had! Reasonable prices. Wish they stayed open later!

Unfortunately the food didn’t meet the quality of last visits. The brussels sprouts were excellent. The apple salad was ok. The steak was very tough and sweet. The scallops were good but the asparagus was way over cooked and total mush.

Awesome variety of gluten free options. Burrata was delicious. Salmon was the best I've had; I wanted to take more of the mushroom miso broth home, it was so good. Seasonally different menu items and consistently delicious.

Gem salad and roasted apple salad very good. Bolognese was OK. Rigatoni was overcooked, leaving it gummy. Lamb shank was a bit bland. Cheesecake in a jar which we had had before now is no longer served in jar with fruit now is served in a ramekin with brittle on top. Maybe should have h updated the menu? Wines were good. Been dining at Pago for a very long time but it doesn't wow me like it did years ago.

We always enjoy Pago on Main, and the 9th and 9th location was equally good. It's a splurge, but we keep coming back for the dependable comfort food, large portions, and excellent service. The only drawback was that this location was a bit loud. Even though our booth was in the back, we had to struggle to hear each other over the noisy table behind us. The outside patio is probably a great option in nice weather. We skipped dessert and hopped across the street to Dolcetti for a gelato instead. Love that neighborhood.

Kudos to Pago for being so creative with their dishes. My wife had the lamb shank and I had the stroganoff. Neither is a particularly unusual dish, but each of them was done in such a unique and creative way. Both were absolutely delicious. If you're comfortable spending a little bit of money, Pago is fantastic. I would love to go again.

Our party of three enjoyed parts of our dinner at Pago. The fried brussels sprouts, apple salad and sourdough bread were great starters. Not sure about the "butter" that accompanied the bread. It didn't have much flavor or texture and we were hoping for some salted butter to go with the delicious bread. For entrees, we had the Pago burger (incredible!) and the spaghetti with scallops and pork bolognese. Both pastas were under salted and not exceptional given their price. Our server was not very friendly and seemed more annoyed by us than anything. We've been eating at Pago on Main more frequently and have enjoyed the food and experience more than on 9th & 9th.

Both super and super, Pago made some absolute bangers for us; lamb shank and stroganoff. While pricey, you can certainly taste the pride in their cooking. Staff were angels and the toilets were pristine. 10/10

They just updated the menu.The scallops were very nice and the sauce on pasta they came with was delicate and didn't overwhelm the sweet taste of the scallops. The grilled apple salad was very nice! The brownie dessert with vanilla gelato and carmel sauce was the perfect ending

The server was very nice and chill, but other than that I would not say the experience was worth the price. It was my third time going to Pago and I found the burger was soggy, and the drinks were lackluster. That on top of the fact you have to put a credit card down when making a reservation and yet we still got placed in one of the worst tables in the restaurant… I will be dining elsewhere in the future.

Could just be the style of food but I thought given the price it could have been better. The apple salad was nice with a good pairing of flavors. We liked the sour dough bread. The brussel sprouts were over cooked, almost burnt. It made it so you could not enjoy the flavor of the vegetable. The food was fine but given the cost we were expecting amazing. The restaurant is unique but small making it very crowded and somewhat loud. It just didn’t feel like fine dining. If you are looking for fancy food that has unique pairings this is a place for you. It just wasn’t for me.

Hi Downtoearth, Thank you for your review! I'm sorry your experience did not go as expected. We are not a fine dining establishment, no valet service or bow ties here! Our entire mission is to offer upper-scale dishes with local, high quality ingredients in a more approachable setting (cancelling out the fine-dining big bucks). It does sound like your brussels sprouts were in the deep-fryer a little too long! I hope you can experience them at their best on your next visit!

Our server Sophia made our experience wonderful, she was very attentive. The food was okay, I had the stroganoff and it was flavorless. I was disappointed because our children gave us a gift card here because they were so excited for us to try it. Wish I could have given it a higher rating.

A cute place in a great location. The food was fine although nothing special. The service was friendly but quite slow. There were not a lot of other diners so the slowness and lack of attention surprised us.
