Wow! Pacini. This was an Old classic when I was growing up and this place brought back so many fond memories. Fast forward several decades later and things have certainly changed. I took my family here thinking i would introduce Pacini to a new generation. Well let me start by saying never again, the food was mediocre , the price per dish is ridiculous ( then again all restaurants think they are 5 star worthy) my kids have gluten intolerance, so I was pleased to see that they actually had several options, however they charge out the wazoo for replacements. Word of advice you should have the same pricing for a substitue, 5$ on 1 item ,2$ on another etc. Having revamped my entire pantry to my kids intolerance needs. I know the cost and It’s almost like they just added additional cost here and there just to take advantage of those with dietary requirement. The service was really the only thing that was worth the $$. If you are a senior and don’t really cook and are not picky. Then this is the place for you. If you are a family with or without allergies or intolerance. don’t waste your time and money. I am sure you make better pasta and pizza at home and for a fraction of the cost. The reality is that food quality is so poor these days in restaurants that even the simple classics are a miss. Pacini! I give you props for trying to advance with the times, but you’re pricing yourself out of the market with food that isn’t worth the cost. I expected more and sadly got way less. But the bill was not a reflections of that let me tell you!
In the end , this is another validation that the hospitality industry needs to change and get back to quality at all levels. Pacini is no exception.
