Pacini - Brien

We went to Pacini for diner and I have to say that it had been a long long time (over 10 years) since my last visit to Pacini.Can't say anything bad but that being said this will not be the meal that I will remember at the end of the year.It's a chain store and everything comes "pre packed" and ready to warm up ... so unless they person in the kitchen is useless it will be OK.

We were 4 peoples and we were all disappointed by our meals. Service was OK but the food quality was really bad. 2 of us had basic spaghetti with meat sauce but there was no taste at all. I also had food poisoning and was sick the whole night

Sounds mouthwatering right? Guess what? It was! More than expected, this delighted the tastebuds. The chicken was perfectly cooked with a light roasted garlic sauce, the asparagus wrapped in proscuitto perfectly cooked with that nice satisfying crunch and the parmagiana fries, oh my! I have to learn how to make those. Enjoyed the table d'hôte with the snails in garlic butter and ended with a mud cake and good coffee. Family friendly, it is a busy place, however the seating is well placed out and the service was good. Try it and enjoy! Bon appetit!

We went to Pacini for lunch, totally disappointed! My husband ordered the lasagna, a piece of lasagna which measured about inches by inches! Hardly no meat sauce between the layers of lasagna noddles, only some small quantity of I guess bechamel...sauce! Myself I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce sauce, what a joke when I got my plate, it was a little cool and I had to ask the waitress if she made a mistake with the sauce! No hamburger meat or almost nil meat seen on my plate, and had to ask for more small bowls of sauce, because not enough the time! NO GOOD, don't waste your money or time here!!! This was would could have really enjoyed somewhere else!

We went to Pacini for an overdue meeting my friend and I. We both ordered a lunch menu and started chatting about our lives. We loved the self-serve bread grill, which is the landmark of the chain. We stayed for and never felt pressured...to leave. Service was courteous and efficient. I'm giving stars because the food is good, but a bit on the pricy side and too salty.
