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.
Nous étions 2 & nous avons ,commandé deux duos & des calmars comme entrée .c'était mon anniversaire, 76 ans. Le souper était loin d'être un cadeau!!! Concernant les calmars ils étaient invisibles & perdus dans un amas de friture.pour les duos les pizzas étaient froides mais les nouilles étaient chaudes. Pour avoir de l'huile piquante il fallait débourser 1,5$ pour un très petit surplus de sauce 4.00$ & pour faire gratiner les nouilles un autre 4,00$ . Le service était très ordinaire.Naturellement je ne recommande pas cet endroit. Lorsqu'on est rendu à charger 1,5$ pour quelques gouttes d'huile piquante sans en informer le client…..ça fait du
La salade italienne étais correct, malheureusement il n'y avais plus de salade roquette pour celle qui je voulais .
Le pavé de morue etais corect , sans plus a mes yeux . Pour 27$ je ne reprendrai pas .
La pizza etais délicieuse !
Une belle portion individuelle.
Le bar a pain etais comme il ce dois
Le désert , vérine pouding chômeur
Délicieux, très petit ce qui etais pour moi parfait

The decor at Pacini is really nice & the food was cooked properly. We ordered the steak platter & a pizza, & everything was enjoyable. I also appreciated the great variety on the kids' menu at a very affordable price my daugther enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, our experience at the entrance could have been better. Although the restaurant seemed quite empty, we were seated near the door on a very cold day while dining with our young daughter. We were also asked if we were finished while our table was still full, which made the meal feel a bit rushed. Overall, the food was good, but the service experience left us a little disappointed.
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.
I came with friends to eat pizza & it was not disappointing. Their duck pizza is really good & the service is fast. The hostess are all kind & smiley especially mina who brought us to our table. We will be back again!
Correct. Probablement une des pires salades César que j'ai mangé de ma vie. La vinaigrette c'est de l'eau ? Une chance qu'il y a le bar a pain... La lasagne crevettes était bonne. Je pense que si tu vas chez Paccini tu dois prendre quelque chose de basic. Pizza ou spaghetti sauce viande.
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.
