**I ordered for delivery ** (I know it's more expensive). My mushroom veal cost $60 (which is outrageous) BUT I was treating myself to something I hadn't had in years. I figured at that price, I would receive what was advertised (or so I thought). I thought at $60 dollars I would get quality pasta with delicious oils, seasonings and flavours and quality veal scallopini. What I received was dry and flavorless pasta that looked like a cafe style luch bowl. My mushroom veal tasted like BBQ. Along with the pasta, came a single grilled zucchini piece and two gilled peppers pieces. Everything tasted like BBQ char. I'm all in for BBQ if thats what I'm ordering. What I ate was not worth $60 and did not bring me the joy and comfort that I would definitely expect at the price of $60.

Hello Constance, we are truly sorry to hear that your meal did not provide the joy and comfort you were expecting. Regarding our pricing, it follows current market trends linked to the rising cost of raw materials and the specific logistics associated with delivery platforms. However, this does not excuse a dish that fails to meet our standards for seasoning and preparation. We would like to discuss this further with you and invite you to contact us at [email protected] for a personalized follow-up regarding your delivery order. Thank you for your comment.

What a waste of money, I ordered Seafood linguine, it came smelling very fishy, the mussels had sand, you only get 3 shrimp lol and one of them had a weird texture and smelled awful I spit it out. The waiter told us seafood came frozen so I guess they just re freeze the seafood over and over again. Lasagna grandiosa was okay but not worth the price. Escargot the cheese was so hard it was sticking to the plate and chunky. Minestrone soup tasted like it came from a can. Not worth $116!!! The food tasted like one of those places that they don’t care anymore.

I came in with high expectations after hearing so many positive reviews from family and friends, but I left feeling genuinely disappointed. To start with the positives, the service was good. That was easily the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet expectations. The bread and butter were just average, nothing more than basic sliced bread with decent butter. The appetizers were underwhelming as well. My wife’s escargot portion was small and only “okay,” and my minestrone soup arrived lukewarm and lacked any real seasoning. The main courses were the biggest issue. My wife ordered the seafood linguine, and the seafood tasted off. The scallops were overly fishy, the shrimp didn’t taste fresh, and the mussels had an unpleasant smell and sand in them. It was concerning enough that we sent it back. While our server handled it professionally, it was disappointing to hear the seafood had been frozen and thawed. I had the lasagna grandiosa, which was fine but nothing special, especially for the price. It lacked seasoning and didn’t stand out in any way. Overall, the experience didn’t match the reputation or the cost. Aside from the great service, it was a letdown, and unfortunately, not somewhere I’d return to.

Only giving this 2 stars so it won’t immediately get deleted. Maybe my fault for ordering through an app. But this was hands down the most disappointing “Italian” food I’ve ever had. Please fire your chef and hire someone who’s actually Italian. The Carbonara actually tasted like a box of Hamburger Helper Stroganoff pasta. Same type of noodles but somehow less flavour! The severely dehydrated prosciutto that’s on top was basically inedible, unless you want to break a tooth I guess. I’m not even sure why you would ruin prosciutto like that. Anyways, I ordered the carbonara, creamy soup of the day, and a small Cesar salad (no side salad option?) for a whopping total of 56$ before taxes, uber fees and tip. The soup was the only decent item. And that’s being generous since it wasn’t anything special and tasted like any other creamy (broccoli I think?) soup from the grocery store. I’m so sorry for the person who reviewed this restaurant and said it was their introduction to Italian food. Save yourself some money and go buy a can of Chef Boyardee.

I chose Pacini to have breakfast with a group of guys that went to school together. We had a lot of laughs, told many stories, and not once worried about our orders or finding a server for a refill. Great comments all around in fact about the menu options and the dining area. We will definitely go back again. Update Feb 2026: Pacini is still a great place for breakfast! They have great breakfast options at very reasonable prices. This has made Pacini a welcomed spot for a group of my friends to return to. Our server Clare was friendly and attentive. She brought a nice touch to the experience. We will be back.
