The main dish was cold. I'm very disappointed. I hadn't been to Pacini in years, and what a disappointment it was.

This restaurant has a lovely and friendly atmosphere with a warm, family-like vibe, and the food is delicious. At first, we were a bit hesitant because of the 3.9 rating, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Since we don't speak French, the manager/owner helped us out by finding an English-speaking waitress to ensure we felt comfortable. We highly recommend this place!

Absolutely fantastic! The food does take some time to prepare, but in the meantime, you can enjoy complimentary bread! You can even make it into toast with a BBQ flair and choose from five different toppings. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Our older waiter was incredibly polite. The food is delicious, and surprisingly, the coffee is even better than Starbucks. They offer a variety of Italian dishes, including pizza, meat, and several vegetarian options. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the experience was, and the dessert is also outstanding. I had the dessert with the fruit bowl and crumbles, and I highly recommend it. Thank you!

Visited twice on a short stay in Quebec. Was please to see that unlike many restaurants in the area, plant based options (although few) were available. Pizzas were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in the party and pastas also good portions and very tasty. The griddled bread concept is an interesting one, I’d say generous to a fault. Of the two visits service was patchy on both occasions, drinks were incredibly slow and refills not offered or not delivered! Staff accommodating but somewhat hapless at times. Overall good experience but could have been better with a little more attention to keeping glasses full!

It dosen't look like anyone is running this restaurant. I recently had dinner here with a group. The service was very, very slow. The food terrible. The lasagna was like shoe leather and appeared to have been reheated a few times so was very dried out. I had a few bites and left the rest. A small glass of wine. The bill including the taxes and tip came to $40.00. Way too expensive for pasta. I only saw two people working there that evening. If they have no employees for the evening meal they should stick to breakfasts only! I won't be going back and I won't recommend this place to anyone.
