Pacini Calgary South

Calamari tasted good, just a little chewy!
Cream of carrot soup was a little bitter
Alfredo sauce was a bit too dry but tasted very good! Although the ravioli crema rosa was not a real rosé sauce! Overall it was a good experience and I would go a second time to try different options!

I loved our experience dining in. The ambiance is awesome. Excellent customer service. We enjoyed every minute hanging out there.

Thought we were coming to a special occasion restaurant for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Instead it could have been a regular family restaurant - kids running around definitely took away from the atmosphere. Decor is tasteful and looks like it could be a higher end restaurant but the menu brings you back to reality. Grand finale was the dessert menu on a single plastic laminated sheet!!

Great experience

Everything was very good; the service, the food, the ambiance, value for money. It's likely that we'll eat at Pacini's again.

Server did not introduce himself or tell us about the bread bar. (Luckily we’d been at the north restaurant before). He also did not bring soup out before the meal. Food was fantastic Restaurant facility is new and nicely decorated. Thanks

We were the only ones seated in the restaurant. A new couple arrived and the hostess sat them at the table right next to ours. We understand that maybe they wanted all of us to be in the same section, but it was unnecessary to have us both sit at tables right next to each other where we could clearly hear each other's conversations. We don't mind sitting next to others in a busy restaurant, but when the restaurant is empty it's not necessary. This is why we rated the ambience lower.

Love the bread bar, found the portion of cod extremely small for 27 bucks. Bottom was also soggy. The server felt bad and did a great job trying to fix it. Service was great.

The food was great and the bread bar is a cool idea. Our server was very welcoming, efficient and very helpful with our food choices. First time visit and we will definitely go back!

It’s a nice place to get together with friends, family for a great meal ..

Great service and food! Highly recommend.

Google Maps had a hard time to find. Once in the space, it was bright, the staff very friendly. The bread bar was excellent. I have never heard of tomato butter, excellent. No pressure, we had a pleasant visit.

Daughters birthday, not sure if our waiter was trying to get us out as quickly as possible but we had 3 courses in and out in an hour. We started with bread bar which the kids love and our main course arrived while we were there, he brought the dessert menu halfway through the main course and the bill arrived seconds after we got our dessert. A little too pushy with all his suggestions. Been to the same restaurant in Banff and I think I’ll wait to go back to that one before I visit Pacini again

Ordered the chicken soup. Swelled so much into the large bowl, too many ingredients, no broth left. Sent it back. Ordered the Caesar Salad, didn’t eat that either.

The unfortunate part was the server didn’t ask if anything was ok, or up to standard. It almost seemed like she was avoiding it. Still charged for it all. Will never eat there again.

Excellent food. Service was fantastic and quick.

Food was not the greatest, service was great though...

It was a nice evening out - great food!

Had a small issue with our order not being what we expected from previous times we have been there.

Very pleasant experience. The ambiance is great, service was excellent, and the food was wonderful. Would definitely return!!

This is an incredible dining experience for breakfast. I challenge you to test this establishment against your regular "go to" and you will be amazed. The menu is excellent, and the value is incredible. You will not be disappointed. Not to mention the service is top notch. Our server made us feel like family as she took care of our every foodie desire.

Great food, great service! We'll definitely be back!!!

Truly the most disappointing pasta dinner...lasagna consisted of layers of under cooked pasta sheets with little meat sauce or cheese. The cannelloni was made with under cooked pasta sheets as well and a rather bland ricotta cheese filling. Should have asked server if cannelloni was made with the traditional crespelle.
The gnocchi was hard lumps of flour dough, nothing resemblinge the soft fluffy pillows potato dumplings it should be.
Bread station has to the biggest joke ever played on diners!
The bread is the frozen cheapest grocery variety paired with unrecognizable butters out of a pail.
Only thing good was the cold Kokanee Gold priced a little steep at $9.

Had a wonderful dinner out with my wife. Service was great. We especially enjoyed the bread bar that was really neat and unique to try the different breads and butter's and toast them on the grill.

Nice new restaurant to vidit

Service was terrible. Food was not good. Cold. Congealed sauce. Store bought frozen meatballs. So disappointed.

The service was absolutely amazing — Jocelyn was fantastic! And the ambiance is amazing as well — what a beautiful restaurant. However the food just wasn’t up to the standard that the other reviewers seem to have enjoyed. Perhaps because it was Stampede weekend and the regular cook was away??

Excellent food. Fun idea with the bread table & assorted spreads.
Great idea with the appealing artist inspired menu sheet.
Caring attentive waiter. We will go
back again soon!

Father’s say lunch. Server was great.

Our server was friendly and super attentive to our needs. Food was amazing! Our kids enjoyed the bread/toast bar!

It was a lovely evening. However, I find the portion sizes incredibly large for one person. Is there a chance to make smaller portion sizes for smaller appetites?

New restaurant in a hotel. Food was good. Service was good. Was very quite on a Sunday night, I'm sure it's busy during the week for happy hour with the businesses in the area. Will go back.

Best service and special treatment for my friends birthday! We will be back !

Most Excellent place in Calgary for breakfast!

It was Tuesday morning and was very quiet.
We liked how we can toast on our own. Food was good. Like to try weekend brunch next time

We had a great evening out with friends for dinner at Pacini. The food from the bread bar, appies, mains and desserts was very good. Our server, Angie B. was phenomenal and went above and beyond. Looking forward to going again.

We really enjoyed the Mother's Day Brunch and plan on returning to check it out for dinner, also could be a good spot for lunch when shopping and visiting IKEA.

The food was good, not outstanding though, we got our meals before getting our appetizer. It took a while to get drinks, but more so the bar tender rather than our server who was very polite and accommodating. I would try again.

New menu is disappointing

The food was great and the restaurant is a great atmosphere. The kids and grandma loved the bread bar. What made our experience so much more enjoyable was Evan T. He is a phenomenal server. Very friendly, knowledgeable, funny and attentive. We will definitely return.

Well, sorry to say this was a real miss. So disappointed with this new place. If you want microwave-dinner quality food, this is it. You would be better off staying at home and putting something in the microwave. Totally mushy pasta and very tasteless. Big portions - yes. Extremely poor quality - yes. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. No one told us about the bread bar. We had to ask - What is that? Again, not telling your customers about the restaurant is not a good idea. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and ambiance is good. You have got to do better than that to get repeat customers.
