Agree completley. Line ups here seem to be based more on its past rep than its todays reality. Many more and arugably better options today than in the past but each to their own.
Thirded - Pags is awful, disgusting food; it makes a mockery of bella cucina. Greasy, drenched in sauce, oversalted, underseasoned, undercooked, and poor ambiance. Never understood what all the fuss was about and I gave it a fair shot.
For better Italian, I'd go to Fiamo or Prima Strada, even Il Terrazzo.

I like Pag's AND Fiamo -sso far no bad experiences at either although I will always choose Fiamo ovr Pag's.. Pag's bread though.. so good.

Pag's could serve burnt pidgeon and goat and fill every seat every night. There is no arguing with success and Howie has that figured out.

How does pags compare to Il Covo?
Not sure why some people dislike Pag's as I have always had good exeriences. I don't mind a loud room either if that is the mood we are seeking out. I have only eaten at Il Covo once and it wasn't good at all. Check out their reviews on Zomato (used to be Urbanspoon) there are a lot of bad ones... I would choose Fiamo if it comes right down to it, although I really like the Pag's pasta.

...I’ve dined at Pags dozens of times, always happy...
Plus some of the best bread in town.

Never had a problem with Pags, the food is good, but the lineups are a little long
Are they open again from the kitchen renos?

From my peeks in the windows, it looks like they're getting close. I would expect them to be reopened in the next couple of weeks.
Pags being too crowded is the only complaint I have about the place - often feel like a sardine in a tin, and can't hear the people I'm dining with speak. But the food and service are consistently great, the bottomless soup and bread is an unbeatable lunch in the core, and for dinner my partner always orders an item that was taken off the menu five years ago but they always make it for him with no questions asked.
We sometimes call in and place take-out orders now when we're craving it on a busy night. Skip right past the line, grab our food and go.

Wish they'd hurry up. I'm craving some Dempsey's Lasagna..... or a Hemingway Short Story.... or some of that addicting bread. I, too, order take-out. Take it home and binge watch some TV series.

Not disagreeing, but that is New York style
