Good food and nice service. I recommend it. Everything was great. The location of the restaurant is convenient as well.
Went for lunch on a quiet New Year's Eve day in Capitol Hill. Exactly what the area needs, a neighborhoody vibe with great Italian food, excellent atmosphere, and friendly service. We ordered the Tuscan ravioli and a pizza and both were fantastic. Bravo Pacci, look forward to becoming regulars!
The lemon chicken was outstanding, great service as well made the evening a hit. Thank you
Ambiance was stellar. Reminded us of Amsterdam. Service was friendly & very helpful. The FOOD was great. We voted the homemade lemon cake was the best we've ever had. The pizza was super too!
Amazing dinner! Service was great, the place is super cute (and maybe larger than I realize?), and the meal was delicious. Started with the beet salad that was really good and refreshing. The bruschetta was fantastic, a classic. I ordered the gnocchi and it was the table's favorite. Wow, soooo good. The flavor, the texture...dare I say the best gnocchi I've had? Definitely want to go back and try other dishes.
- not that busy on a warm Saturday night - waiter was nice, I think he tried a little too hard tho - goos spaghetti - decent size - big meatballs - I regret not getting the boar - desserts look good - great for pleasant group dinners and meetups - soft vibes - cool outdoor seating
We went here for the first time last night & were very happy with our experience. What really made the evening for us was the staff's eagerness to please its customers. We were initially seated downstairs. It wasn't a comfortable space. It felt like what it was . . . a basement. No light coming in, exposed vents. We ordered our drinks & an appetizer & then I decided to ask if we could move outside. A proactive waiter said that we could & then brought a table outside for us because all the tables were filled. Eating outside was lovely! (The main dining room on the first floor wasn't appealing either. It seemed very loud. We hear that there will be a dining space on the second floor soon.) We also were very happy with our food. The cheese & oil on our caprese salad had great flavor. For my entree I had the wild boar tagliatelle, which was excellent. It was very tasty & the portion was huge. I brought half of the serving home, My husband had the lasagna, which also was excellent.
Two visits here. Both were great experiences while sitting at the bar. Today, I had the Pacci Salad, Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Chocolate Cake. Before this, I also had the Pacci Salad, Wild Boar Tagliatelle, and the Limoncello Cake. Great meals...all three courses were superb. I'm a big fan of their Paccie Salad. Lots of good ingredients. I like the Wild Boar best of all on the menu. The Spaghetti and Meatballs were tasty. The meatballs were especially good. ** As a tip, most dishes come with the Parmesan cheese already on top. I'm not a big fan of this, so this time, I asked for it on the side. That's now my go-to ask. Great desserts here. The Mousse and Limoncello Cake are fantastic. The Chocolate Cake was good. All of them are really enormous. Such a good spot. Definitely give them a try.
Good ole Yelp helped me find this restaurant. My friend really wanted to go to Olive Garden, so I did her one better and chose this authentic Italian restaurant. It is definitely a neighborhood spot and it was busy the entire time we were there. I was able to make a reservation same day in the afternoon. The food was amazing. Service was stellar. I will definitely come back &&&& happy hour is 2:30-5:30 Tuesday - Friday! Love that start time - it keeps teachers and WFH people in mind. Not to mention people who want to eat dinner before it's pitch black out!
