Pacino's Restaurant

From the moment you step into this charming local Italian restaurant, you're greeted with the warmth and hospitality that only a local-owned establishment can offer. Every visit here is a delightful experience, but the dishes that truly stand out are the eggplant parmigiana and the salmon salad with house dressing. The eggplant parmigiana is a masterpiece, with layers of thinly sliced eggplant, rich and flavorful marinara sauce, and perfectly melted mozzarella cheese. It's a dish that comforts the soul and pleases the palate, leaving you savoring each bite. As for the salmon salad, it is freshness embodied. The salmon is always cooked to perfection, flaky and seasoned just right, complementing the crisp greens and the white balsamic house dressing that adds a zesty flair to the meal. It's not just the food that makes this place special; it's the consistently excellent service, the cozy ambiance, and the feeling of community that keeps me coming back. This restaurant isn't just a place to eat; it's a place to feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cooking and a warm, welcoming dining experience.

Bri, you bring EXCELLENCE to the service industry!! Honestly you are wonderful server! It was our first time here and we are completely impressed. The food is LEGIT and made the right way!! And I am a tiramisu critic, their Tiramisu is impressive. I love the live music too, my husband and I even danced. This is your go-to place for just a good meal, good company and a good vibe! You should do yourself a favor and come here to.

I am Gluten Free and I can alway get an adapted entree to order We come here quite often and have never had a bad meal but tonight I had the Sea Bass over their creamy Risotto which of course was a special order There are not a lot of great restaurants in Mesa but this has to be one of the best I am not a food person but tonight I have to say I had the best meal I have had since we moved here. This is the top of our fo to restaurants And an added bonus great entertainment either inside or from the wine bar across the way

My husband and I celebrated his Birthday in this modest local restaurant in NE Mesa. The dinner menu is broad and has a good selection. He enjoyed the Three Meat Lasagna and I also enjoyed a pasta dish, Little Ears. Both of us appreciated the side order of anchovies on our Caesar salads. Service was very attentive and it was noticed that the kitchen and service staff all had their hair pulled back, and/or were wearing caps in the kitchen. Dessert was an indulgent chocolate cake which was yummy. Pacino's has a nice range of wines also. Generally good value and portions, as we took home leftovers of our main meal and the dessert. I do think they can do better for a crispier Brussel sprout appetizer, as it was a bit oily. However it was fully eaten! It was impressive to see the owner or manager on the floor, checking in with guests, on a modest Tuesday evening of diners.

Brie did a wonderful job waiting on us, very attentive and the food was perfect! We ordered the veal plate & blackened Salmon, both were delicious and presented nicely. Everyone is very friendly. We had Kaden (sp?) last time time we were there & he was just as good. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here.
