Loved the service & the bread bar but the food… So expensive for nothing! The pasta was salty & very very ordinary for 30$. The pizza is not even a pizza, it looked more like a flatbread, for 25$ you would think it would be better. Not worth your money, i would go elsewhere.

I don't know how someone would consider this to be'Italian food'. I went there with a Vietnamese friend & we both concluded that it's cultural food for white people 😏 no offense. Expensive for what ?! I'm sure their overhead is very high- but 30$ for a mediocre tiny pasta…. Is just sad. I'd never take someone with a big appetite there. I guess that's what the bread bar is for. Cute decor though you can tell they spent a lot of money on the place. I would definitely go back for the cocktails at the bar & dessert though

The pasta was good 7.5/10. The service was a bit slow after the meals. Great place for family or big groups. They have beard station which is nice to get freshly toasted bread.

First time going to Pacini's & I gotta say I'm impressed overall.

From start to finish, we had excellent service & the food/drinks were perfect, only complaint I would say is the pasta was a little dry. Everything on the menu is well organized & appealing, & surprisingly informative to our tastes. They give vegan, keto & halal options which is quite nice for them to go out of the way.

The instant bread bar to start off was a welcomed surprise. We ordered a prosciutto pizza, a plate of linguine alfredo with added chicken breast, & a plate of steak with sea salt from Sicily. Everything was rich & flavorful down to the last bite.

Will most definitely come again!

Good food & friendly service at reasonable prices. I just wish the service had been a bit faster, as we ended up waiting longer than expected even though it wasn't a particularly busy. I'd also give five stars if they were able to accommodate custom orders - I asked for sun-dried tomatoes on my pasta but was told it wasn't possible, & my wife only had three pizza options available due to some issue with the oven. That said, we'd definitely come back to try something else & hopefully update this review next time.

Food was lacking in flavour. I was in a group of 7, 5 ordered pasta. Those who ordered pasta all added salt & pepper to their dish, & two of them had pasta that was undercooked.

Seems like getting pizza here is the way to go. But for the price you can definitely get better tasting food.

Had the cod & pasta. Very tasty, & the all you can eat garlic bread bar was delicious.

Food was expensive for what it was, the salmon was overcooked, although the waitress said before'our chefs typically cook the salmon on the pinker side, I hope that's ok!' However it was tough & way overcooked.. The pesto pasta that accompanied it was very bland & needed a lot of salt.

Caesar salad was good & the chicken was decently portioned but the salmon seemed like a waste of money.

Beer prices are quite elevated to be honest. The meal was about 25% more expensive than it should have been.
