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.

You can make your own bruschetta (of sorts) on a grill with your selection of type of bread spread topping. The other nice feature is that when ordering wine by the glass, the waitress brings the actual bottle to the table to pour so you know you are getting what you ordered. The menu is varied and of course includes pizza and pasta dishes. Service was fast. Prices were a little high, but not completely out-of-line.

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.
