Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

    First visit to Pacifica with some out of town friends. We chose it for the view and the food, even though we hadn't been in years. Overall it was a hit on both counts. They've changed the menu to add some non-seafood items, so the fish selection was limited, which is too bad. The preparations have a lot of Asian influences and flavors, and the food was a bit uneven. Excellent items were the mixed green, heirloom and burrata salads, a generous portion of ahi (with overcooked carrots), very large crab cake (meal size), and the frites with the steak frites were addictive. The skirt steak was tough (often an issue), but had good flavor. Desserts were very good, although they had run out of their house special blackberry cobbler at lunch, and had none available at dinner?? We enjoyed the mocha semifreddo and a very nice, light creme brulee. Excellent decaf coffee and espresso! Some of the best we've had anywhere. But the best part was our server, Jason. Great sense of humour, an excellent table side manner, and professional but friendly service.

    I ordered the wide ribbon pasta with Bolognese sauce. The pasta was perfectly cooked but found the Bolognese sauce to lack flavor. Portions are small for the price. Service was excellent and Restaurant was well staffed.

    Birthday celebration for my husband. Octopus ceviche for starters was delicious, scallops were melt-in-your-mouth and the shrimp pesto linguine was full of flavor. We ate every bite! The meal was so good we were left wondering why it’s been so long since we’ve been here. That’s going to change!
