    Pacci's is on the edge of a former wonderland - a series of building built as part of a late 19th Century resort which is now being restored from ruins. It's not in a business district and that's part of its charm. Eating here is always a like a mini-vacation. The service is always spectacular, wine selection decent (and wine is 50% off on Tuesdays!), menu well executed Italian-American staples.

    Pacci's is always a wonderful time, filled with good food and a cozy ambience that belies the ample seating thanks to the old post office the restaurant occupies. Service is attentive and helpful, even for people arriving on the later end of the open hours. The only reason I wouldn't want to recommend it, is because I don't want to share!

    Pacci's is an amazing place! Their food is always spectacular. This is not a restaurant you would go to often (save maybe for the pizza) as their entres are on the higher end of the spectrum. That doesn't mean you aren't getting value for what you are paying. The food is wonderful. Like many restaurants, they could stand to have more servers, but our server last night was wonderful and the manager even came over to make sure everything was OK. We consider Paccis Trattoria one of our go-to restaurants in Silver Spring because we know you will always get excellent food. We look forward to our next visit! (And be sure you use OpenTable for a reservation - we've been turned away in the past without one.. )

    Second visit. OMG..... another HUGE hit. The food is absolutely delicious. We have now decided we have to keep going back until we have tasted everything on the menu at least once. We started with Grilled Octopus, Eggplant Fritti, and Burrata & Prosciutto. OMG.. 4 of us shared these and we all loved them. So fresh, tasty, and out of this world. The perfect way to start a meal. Then we had Pacci's Salad. Very nice, fresh and clean tasting. Great segway to dinner. Unfortunately we all had the Lobster Raviolis (daily special) with crab, shrimp and scallops in a white sauce. My second time with this. Thought we all died and went to heaven. And Tamika recommended a delicious Vermention di Sardegna. Crisp, cool, clean white wine. Very nice compliment to the Ravs. And if that wasn't enough, we "shared" the Spumoni dessert. A tennis size ball of thin white hard chocolate shell filled with mango-passion fruit sorbet. The perfect ending to a perfect dinner. Did we like? Oh, yes...... We will be back again.....

    My wife's pizza was amazing, mine was not. Chopped up eggplant thrown on top. Looked so unappetizing. Tasted mediocre. My daughter's Caesar salad was also disappointing, just iceberg lettuce and dressing with a few croutons. Went for my wife's birthday, so I was glad hers was good, and the tiramisu was delicious. But, the eggplant pizza was not appealing.

    Pacci's (Silver Spring location) was one of our favorite restaurants when living in Kensington, Maryland before moving to Annapolis. We enjoyed lunch at Pacci's on 8/24/23 and the meal was magnifico! I ordered the Carbonara pasta "to go" for my daughter and according to her, it was "amazing!" Pacci's is still one of the best Italian restaurants in the DC metro area.

    This was our first visit. Recommended by friends. What a surprise. We had never heard of this restaurant before and was just trying to find a local quaint restaurant to celebrate a birthday. What a treat. The food was over the top. The squid appetizer was delicious. A great reminder of our trip to northern Spain. The compreze salad was out of this world. Both the squid and salad were so fresh. Then the entres..... OMG: Lobster, crab, scallop, shrimp ravioli's. To die for. The Shrimp pesto was also over the top. Our waitperson, Takisha, couldn't have been sweeter, polite, professional and as well as efficient. Will definately come back. Not only for the food, but the staff. All were so enjoyable to be around. Always present but never intrusive. What a great birthday treat. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

    Hi Steve, Thank you so much for all the kind words :) I am delighted that I made your birthday such a special one! I appreciated you choosing Pacci's that evening to dinner, I will also let the chef know to keep the lobster ravioli special going! I look forward to having you both dine with us again, it was my pleasure.

    This restaurant has a casual, friendly vibe to it. Both of us enjoyed our entrees, bolognese lasagna and pasta, although our appetizers- fried calamari and the Pacci's salad - were rather bland. Maybe other choices would have worked out better. Since it's a small place, the noise level was on the higher end.

    It was a lovely evening sitting outside. The food is consistently delicious. The one negative was that the special, cheese tortellini with pesto, seemed vegetarian but was served with grilled chicken. The vegetarians in our group didn't think to ask for confirmation. So we swapped dishes around the table. Specials could be more clearly posted.

    We were able to be seated quickly having made a reservation. Food was very good, though the bread was not quite Italian, and we had to ask for EVOO. Appetizer was fine, dinner was excellent, as was the dessert. Wine choices by the glass were sufficient, though could have had more choices. The service was mediocre. We sat in the little patio and our waiter consistently kept one foot in the restaurant and leaned toward our table. He did not fully step into the patio, though other wait staff did. He brought the check to us, did not ask if we were ready for it, which was both disappointing and less than service focused. He did address us as ‘Ladies’ which was appreciated. The young man who filled our water glasses called us ‘guys’ which is not appreciated as we are both women in our 60’s. We will return as this is a gem of an Italian restaurant in Silver Spring. Wait staff needs to be a bit more attentive and aware of both their words and actions.

    Food was excellent. Service was not good. Waiter disappeared half way through our meal and was replaced by another waiter. Fair enough, things happen but one of our entrees came out 15 minutes later than the first two. We had finished eating when it arrived for our third member of our group. No explanation, no real apology just a " sorry about that." We had to ask after 15 minutes where the food was. We wonder if we hadn't asked if it would ever have been delivered to the table...

    We went at 3pm, no need for a reservation it was quite empty, we thought great! The food was okay compared to other restaurants around it’s okay. We got bruschetta for app, bread was very soft not what you expected but we thought it’s just an app, got the lobster ravioli (it was a seasonal special) and pizza . Food was good, service however we got greeted in beginning and that’s all, only after finishing meal did I ask for check then brought it up again there was NO one there did you want to pay? Yes we got one app and two entrees with two sodas and total came out to 89 for everything it’s a tad pricey especially if you aren’t getting good service with food it should be overall experience so people want to come back

    We like the food and ambiance but the service was a little lacking this time. Our server was rushed as there may have been a larger party she was helping out (could be wrong, just guessing). Regardless, we had a little trouble getting attention at times for things like extra plate for appetizer and went through long stretches without anyone checking in on us. Took a while to place our order. All in all, we think of this as an anomaly and it will not deter us from returning as we generally have very positive experiences when we frequent here.

    Pacci's Trattoria is a perfect neighborhood restaurant. The food is delicious and fresh. It's a little pricey but the portions are ample so you get your money's worth. The pizzas (Nanninella is my favorite) are a good size for two with a side. Pasta and gnocchi and salmon all got raves from our guests. The outside dining is quiet while the inside can get a little noisy but not with loud blaring music, just the conversations of happy diners.
