Pacini draws a mixed but mostly positive impression with a family friendly vibe, a popular bread bar, and casual decor. Families value the easy ordering for kids and the reliable bread bar, while some dishes like pasta, pizza and lasagne are well received though portions can feel small and prices high for the value. The gluten free options are praised for attention to cross contamination. Service is described as friendly and attentive on some visits but slower and less consistent on others, leading to occasional waits and miscommunications between kitchen and staff. The atmosphere and parking location add to a convenient experience, but several reviews note that the overall value varies and that the experience can depend on how busy the restaurant is.
Went with a group, food is good, but i took the duck pasta & i needed a microscope to find any duck. otherwise food was good. Service was mostly ok at the beginning but the staff disapeared mid dinner. They forgot my plate, my dessert & other people had their food delayed. Had to ask 3 times for water bottle refill. With the amount they charge for dinner, they need to bring the experience up, Pacini is a fairly expensive place now.
Visited on a Wednesday to take advantage of the kids' meal special. We had a large group including four children. We ordered the Poulet Grillé Romarin, the Cod in a Crust (Morue en croûte), & a variety of kids' meals (Duo Fromage, Spaghetti Bolognese, Mini Lapin, & Mafalda Alfredo).
Overall, the experience was decent but unremarkable.
The mains were cooked fine, the kids didn't finish their food. The self-serve bread bar was-as always-a nice touch, though nothing stood out as exceptional. It's a reliable spot for a family mid-week dinner, but nothing to write home about.
J'ai beaucoup aimé le bar à pain. Le service est excellent. Il n y avait pas beaucoup de gens & on a pas eu de problème à trouver une belle place. Le parking a assez de place & le restaurant donne directement sur le boulevard Tascherau. Je le recommande vivement surtout si vous voulez manger tranquille…
Si vous aimez le poulet semi-préparé en boîte, les frites industrielles & le fondue qui n'a jamais vus les vrais fromage, foncez !!!
Ici, le gras coule plus vite que le service & la seule spécialité maison semble être l'art de transformer le congélateur dans cuisine.
A éviter sauf si votre rêve est de dépenser beaucoup pour dîner dans une cantine low-cost déguisé en restaurant

Nous avons eu un excellent service de notre serveur du nom de Anthony, il est très à l'écoute de la clientèle & très professionnel. La pizza Americana était excellente.
