A short drive from our Hotel Plaza, my daughter and I decided to eat at Pacini after our shopping trip to the Quatre Bourgeois Mall.It was not very busy but the service was slow; slow to greet and seat, slow to order drinks and get them; same goes for taking the order and getting our food. Our server was nice.On the other hand, the food was delicious, the menu offers lots of choices. We had no room left for desserts but they looked divine.The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is relaxed, we enjoyed it, thankfully we were not in a hurry.We would go again.

Adult family of 5 seated in booth but lighting was so poor we had to use phone camera app to read the menu. Servings ample & service good. Tortellini was a total disappointment, very bland. Pizza good. Steak average to good ranking. Linguini with shrimp just average. Good wine selection. Bread bar a positive note to the dining experience.

Went on a Saturday night 2 adults 2 kids. We don't speak French well so had a bit of trouble understanding where we had to pay for parking and where was free, and on first walking in the door we weren't able to explain our language barrier so was a bit confusing at first. They do have a few awesome bilingual servers on staff so we did eventually get there! The kids menu and pizza was very yummy and the service was great although our food was a bit slow - we observed others sitting down, ordering, eating and leaving before we got our food. Make sure you try the Dolci and highly recommend it as a place to go for a birthday.

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!
