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.
Casual atmosphere with excellent food. The staff are all friendly & attentive. Food was brought out in a timely manner & their signature Cesar was delicious, a must try.
Pour un restaurant familial, la nourriture était bonne. La pizza prosciutto & roquette était délicieuse, surtout avec l'ajout de parmesan & huile épicée. La serveuse, très sympathique malgré un service un peu long. Mon conjoint a eu un rabais équivalent à son âge pour son anniversaire. Le bar à pain est toujours un must. Bien appréciée ma soirée.
Positively surprised! Went in with small kids & it was a great experience. It's just simple to order pasta with them, they loved it, it was well served & the food better than expected. Service was excellent!

Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille lors de notre visite au Pacini de Brossard! Un grand merci à notre serveur, Anthony, encore débutant, mais déjà très prometteur. Malgré son peu d'expérience, il s'est montré attentif, souriant, patient & toujours de bonne volonté.
Il a su gérer notre tablée avec calme & gentillesse. Bravo à lui pour son professionnalisme, on sent qu'il ira loin!
Une belle expérience, rendue encore plus agréable par un service humain & chaleureux.
C'était okay sans plus . 29$ pour une assiette avec un minuscule poulet , 2 tranches de piment & une tranche dé zucchini, avec des pâtes basic à la sauce tomate , c'est trop cher pour ce qu'il y avait . Le poulet aurait pu être mangé en une bouchée sans blague , c'est ridicule de servir ça. Le bar à pain était ok, pas assez de pinces pour la quantité de gens qui y sont . C'est dommage de servir du pain d'épicerie , & non du pain frais du restaurant , ça amènerais à autre chose
Nice decor however bread bar was blocked off to us with benched seating back-to-back-to-back the entire aisle - had to walk all around back & forth. Service dude was polite but unnecessarily loud. Asked us for berverages but when we asked for plain water just dropped the bottle withoit serving us (we had to serve ourselves). Then had to wait 1 hr to get our meals - the joint was only 1/4 capacity but the service guy seemed a bit disorganized. Never came by to say how good was our meal. Had to flag him down twice for the water bottle refills - to which he continued to plop the bottle down & leave us to our refills. Food was good but really SALTY !! Bread bar was fine. Service was extremely slow & charmless. Only gave a 12% tip - felt I was generous at that.
One last note : 2 pita + caesar salads, 1 lasagna & 1 fish plate = 140$ !!! Yikes ! Montreal 2nd tier restaurants are ridiculously expensive !! Disappointing.
The waiter did a fantastic job, but the kitchen made us wait for 2h30 & the restaurant wasn't even half full. The kitchen didn't communicate with the waiter, the food was very basic (even for a Pacini I mean I know what I'm getting into), my pizza was 25$ for an individual basic thing not even something special or high end produce just a regular all dressed. Needless to say I won't go back
