Pacini offers a warm atmosphere with generous portions and a menu of flavorful Italian dishes, with standout items like cod in pastry with pasta and a comforting minestrone, and many diners praise the friendly service and the pleasant bar area. The overall impression is positive and family friendly, with several reviews calling the food excellent and the value good, though some diners note occasional delays and a few less attentive servers. While most dishes are well received, a few items are described as pricey for the portion or quality, and some complaints focus on online ordering gaps and price differences between Uber Eats and in restaurant menus. There are reports of strong service even under pressure, including during a power outage, and management is said to respond with refunds and apologies in some cases, though others feel the online system should be more reliable and communicative. In summary, Pacini is seen as a solid option for Italian meals with an inviting space and a solid wine list, delivering consistent comfort and flavor, while improvements in service consistency and online ordering would enhance the experience.
Malorie refused to give us a second menu, she said it is against the rules. Spent 5 minutes arguing with her, told her I will return it to her in few minutes, but no way she started talking about expecting groups & so on. I went to the shift manager & got another menu. Malorie spoke in a low voice we both could not understand her, so we asked her to speak louder, even though it was not any better. I travelled to 20+ countries around the world & during 76 years of my life I was never refused a menu at any place. EVER! This was not a good start to the evening/dining especially at St. Valentine's supper. Malorie put a damper on the experience. The food quality was excellent, but the full restaurant at that evening was extremely noisy. my advise to Malorie is to look for another career.
The manger called me today 17 Feb 2026 & to be fair to the restaurant I revised my rating to 3 stars.
Souper de filles, bel ambiance on a été bien servi. Je trouve que les bouteilles de vin sont un peu chères il manque de bouteilles à prix plus raisonnable mais bon à part ça tout était parfait.
Deuxième visite en 6 mois, menu boissons pas a jour.
Demande bière en fût & la serveuse m'apporte un bouteille.
Elle me dit que le menu n'est pas à jour....6 mois de différences entre les deux visites avec la même problématique.
Sinon... bonne bouffe
Mais j ai été déçu de la nourriture, peux être que je me trompe mais je ne penses pas . La nourriture fait plutôt industriel, les lasagnes ça goûtes les lasagnes en barquettes. La décoration des assiettes bon je penses que le cuisine du lunch c est pas ça priorité.
Belle ambiance, portion généreuse & repas délicieux ! Le seul bémol a été le service. Le service était un peu long & la serveuse était peu souriante & peu présente.

9.35 $ for a tiny bowl of minestrone soup it's not worth it...at least they should let us know before we order.....the apple crumble mmm not worth the price either...but the cod en croute with the pasta was so delicious...a really good surprise!!
Un beau restaurant Pacini. Valeur sur en famille pour de la nourriture italienne & une expérience bonifié par un indémodable bar à pain. Personnel sympathique & rapport qualité prix bon.
