I have to say the atmosphere there is great, lovely decor and great lighting.The service was awesome, the waitress was really nice and on top of things.Great food, my seafood linguine was absolutely the best I've had in a restaurant and my boyfriend got the meat lovers pizza which he thoroughly enjoyed. We will defiantly be going back there again.

I stayed away from pizza, pasta and rather eat healthy. After some deliberation I chose Chicken Romania with vegetables. When the dish arrived I was rather disappointed that does not look like in the picture on the menu. The chicken breast was only half a chicken breast because it was cut thin and it was dried and tough when digged into it. The plate was big so they spread the vegetables to make it look lots of foid. Because there were so many of us I did not make a fuss. I was not happy with what I paid for. The bread bar is nothing special so I filled up my hunger with bread.

I decided to order the carbonara, which was incredibly creamy. The best part of the experience was their bread bar, where they offer a wide variety of breads, butters, and an open grill. It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. I believe this restaurant should be more popular given the fantastic service it provides. If you're in Calgary, Pacinis is a must-try.

We were among the first customers to arrive for lunch, so finding a table for our large group was easy. The service was fast and friendly, and our food arrived fairly quickly considering the size of our group. I ordered a grilled chicken and roasted vegetable dish. The chicken was tender, but lacked a distinctive flavor. The garlic sauce on top was also bland. The mixed vegetable side was a bit soggy, likely due to the mushrooms and kale, but the flavor was decent. The standout elements of the dish were the grilled zucchini and peppers, which were very tasty. I appreciated the grilled lemon as a nice touch. The restaurant has a unique bread bar, offering different types of bread that customers can top with flavored butter and toast on a large grill in the center of the restaurant. They also provide balsamic vinegar and oil for dipping. Overall, the meal was satisfactory for a quick work lunch but didn't particularly stand out.
