Good atmosphere, the food is ok, not amazing, and the service is what really disappointed me, is extremely slow and zero in customer service and is not a one day impression, it was consistent for one entire week, every day

We ate both breakfast & dinner here. Nice to have the restaurant in the hotel on a night it was raining and we didn't want to walk outside. Loved the bread station.

The new Italian ambiance and menu feels a bit cheesy, but food is good and service fair. The do have keto options, which is unexpected for an Italian place.

Great food. The kids’ menu includes a drink, an appetizer, and a small dessert, plus the bread grill. Amazing value for a family. My husband took the veal with mushroom sauce and I took the mushroom pizza with an Italian salad. Everything was very tasty. Friendly service, timely and always smiling. Only draw back was the dessert, which tasted liked frozen. We will be back on our next vacation.

Very disappointed....waiting for 1 hour before being served....cold food, overcooked and frozen sunny side up eggs....4 different dishes and everything was really very ordinary...nothing remarkable. .. we are originally from Montreal, now residents of Chicoutimi and customers of the Pacini in Chicoutimi which really surpasses that of Alma at all levels... You have a lot of correction and improvement to do believe me..(I am a former restaurant and hotel manager...

Um.. I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant! I had the Duck pizza with extra Goat Cheese and the Spaghetti Bolognese. TASTELESS!! The pizza was bland and the goat cheese non-existent, the spaghetti was just as disappointing. My fiancé had the Salmon and Lord a bland salmon accompanied by dry fries. In short, the canteen of my childhood was much better and at a lower price! The cuisine really leaves much desired and this was the first and last time I would go to a Pacini! When you go to eat in a restaurant, you expect an explosion of flavor, but that was absolutely not the case in this restaurant the only taste felt by my palates was the sparkling water/Pepsi.. in short, disappointed 100% Positive point: impeccable service from the young girl / correct garlic bread

Correct food nothing more. A good point for the bread bar which allows you to toast different breads topped with sauce on a large plancha. A somewhat hesitant welcome and large, noisy and not very intimate room. High value for money.

First lunch at Pacini, I order the wild berry pancake. But what a disappointment. For $17 you get a flat pancake and a spoonful of frozen fruit. Thats it. For this price you would expect at least some fresh fruit or some custard at least..

Nous étions 7 personnes et le restaurant n avait que 12 personnes a l intérieur et ils nous ont refusé l accès en disant qu ils étaient pleins. J ai même proposé de diviser le groupe en deux et ils m ont dit que non ils sont plein. Alors nous sommes parti pour un autre restaurant qui était presque plein et ils nous ont reçu avec le sourire.

It had been years since I had been to Pacini. For no particular reason just like that... WHILE staying at the Hotel Universel I was more than happy to see that there was a Pacini with their famous bread parlor right in the hotel. The choice to go to lunch was therefore easy and simple... But I wont be asked again. We arrive at the restaurant at 10 a.m., it is practically empty. When I was asked if I had a reservation, I noticed the astonishment of the hostess who seemed surprised and seemed to be wondering where to place us in an empty restaurant... We sit down, a very nice waitress brings us the menu with orange juice and takes our orders. 1 hour and 15 minutes later, she finally came back to take orders from new customers who had just arrived. We hadnt seen her since we arrived. I then asked her where our plates were. She finally returned with our order 15 minutes later. I ask to speak to the manager, a very condescending person arrives then, before I have even finished explaining to her why I am unhappy with the delay, she cuts me off and begins to give me statistics that make no sense and tells me uqe the kitchen is in training and other... No excuses no accommodation We canceled our dinner reservation... Too Bad paccini

Very good Italian restaurant. You can find everything there. The dishes are generous and above all tasty. The recipes are sophisticated without being too weird. See you there. The service is always good. The only thing to improve is the bread bar. Everyone likes it but its quite a simplistic approach. But it works and it gives a certain atmosphere

After an incredible day on the ski slopes of Valinouët, I found the perfect place to eat and relax - the Pacini restaurant. I opted for the feast for two plate, a perfect choice for sharing with a friend or loved one. There was steak, sausage, chicken and salmon on the same plate - a real explosion of flavors and colors. The steak was perfectly grilled and juicy, the sausages were smoked to perfection, the chicken was tender and succulent and the salmon was fresh. The mixture of meats was incredibly balanced and added an extra dimension to the tasting. Additionally, the Moscow mule cocktail was a perfect choice to accompany this hearty dish. The mix of vodka, fresh ginger, lemon juice and sparkling soda was refreshing, balanced and smooth. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for relaxing after a long day of skiing, with warm, welcoming decor and friendly, attentive service. The staff was very accommodating, providing knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring we lacked for nothing throughout the meal. The highlight was the fact that the feast for two plate was so filling that I was completely full. Its rare for restaurants where I go out and Im no longer hungry. Overall, I highly recommend Pacini Restaurant for a flavorful dining experience that includes great service. Be sure to try the Feast for Two Plate and the Moscow Mule Cocktail you won t be disappointed! David Elliott Claveau

Very average. A pasta dish with 3 halves of cherry tomatoes, overcooked (burnt) shrimp for $25 is really not right In addition the waitress was very unfriendly, there were 8 of us and some dishes arrived 15 minutes after the others. I recommend Mario Tremblay for the same price, even the toad is much better!

You shouldnt being afraid of displeasing customers... Ok, everything is increasing... But there are limits... You served me the equivalent of around $2.00 worth of food...

1h15 wait while the restaurant is almost empty. The pasta and lasagna are pretty good. But offering gratiné without specifying that it s 4 dollars more? The 1/2 pizza is a shame. Empties! tiny! nothing to eat. Nothing to do with the photos we see on the restaurants descriptions! Parmiaggiana fries? Look at the attached photo! Where are the vegetables? Inedible.

The restaurant was very clean and well appointed, with a modern look. The television flickered a little, and it turned magenta (a detail). The bread bar offers three varieties of butter but lacked types of bread; a household loaf or thick sliced bread would have been appreciated. Nothing to say about the service, we were very well received. Where it gets complicated is in the kitchen: the pasta and pizzas were not seasoned enough; the whole thing was a bit bland. It was good, but it lacked spices or oils for example for pizzas. Too bad, you could have served those from your neighbors at Lion Bleu as microbrewery beers. The Beemer is okay... but its not very refined. Parking: No difficulty parking.
