Pacini offers a dependable family friendly dining option with a popular bread bar and mains such as pasta and pizza often well received, and some visits highlight attentive service and a pleasant atmosphere, but overall experiences vary with reports of inconsistent service, forgotten or late courses, long waits for refills and high prices for the quality, while a few dishes are described as salty or underwhelming for the cost.
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
