Restaurant Pacini

If I had the choice between cafeteria food from my elementary school or Pacini’s I’d go with the first one. The service isn’t terrible nor was the décor but the food left me questioning. How can garlic snail taste so empty? What’s also sad was that my bolognese lasagna tasted like it came from a buffet. They weren’t inedible but they were plain. I’ve had many frozen lasagne that were better. I expected a lot more from a $ 20 dish. On the bright side, the desserts were okay. I can’t seem to remember one among three of the desserts I’ve tried though. Let’s just say that they weren’t really memorable but what I can recall was that they weren’t bad.
For me, the food is mediocre at best. I certainly wouldn’t come back unless someone I know really wants to go to this place and is paying for my meal.

Pour un restaurant Italien qui pense que Sauce Alfredo c’est seulement une sauce blanc sans aucun parmesan, c’est dommage, et ça a passé 2 fois, non seulement une.
C’est un restaurant trop chère parce que ça inclut le bar a pain (bon) et la soupe minestrone (très bon) ou salade césar (bon). Je né retournerai pas.

Agréable surprise pour le déjeuner, différent des autres, bon prix, bon service, j’apprécie la tranquilité. Nous allons revenir

Went here for a friend’s birthday dinner. A nice small place where a LOT of people seemed to have been celebrating their birthdays; every 5 minutes it seemed they were bringing cake out to someone! That aside, the décor and ambiance and warm and welcoming. Our waitress was very nice and made sure we always had water on the table. Many restaurants have a soup and salad bar, but this place has an all you can eat bread bar; you can grill your own choice of bread (white, brown, sesame, etc), with your choice of spreads (butter, garlic butter, pesto spread, etc). Better than just having a bread basket put on the table I guess. My boyfriend Danny and I had ordered a pitcher of Stella, and were pretty disappointed at how watered down it was, considering we were paying 20 $ for it. After everyone had ordered, plates started to come out all at the same time, except for mine, it seemed. 10, 15, even 20 minutes went by with nothing sitting in front of me. I was baffled because I had ordered what seemed to be the simplest thing on the menu — margherita pizza. Finally, 25 minutes later, I had a piping hot pizza sitting in front of me, with a free pint of Stella for my troubles — a nice touch. The pizza was good, nothing overly amazing though (read: it was no Lombardi’s). In all, it was satisfying, but doesn’t stand out in my mind.

Joli décor, service vraiment agréable. Le bar a pain est toujours un succès. J’avais pris du fettuccini alfredo, il était juste correct, je né goutais pas vraiment la sauce. Ma mère avait pris des tortellini a la sauce rosée, ils étaient vraiment bon, elle a apprécié. Mon ami avait pris de la pizza piquante, mais pas assez piquante a son gout (mais je suis sur que pour quelqu’un autre ca lui brûlerait la bouche: P)
J’y retournerais c’est sûr, mais pas de fettuccini alfredo cette fois ci. C’est a essayer, le bar a pain en vaut la peine. Choisir son pain (4 differents) son beurre (4 differents) et le faire griller soi meme sur le grill.
A la fin du repas, la facture est accompagnée de cerises marasquin trempées dans du chocolat au lait. L’expérience Pacini quoi!
