Run don’t walk to this place! It was ABSOLUTELY delicious. The atmosphere is really nice, the servers amazing and the food delicious. We got a vegetarian lasagna dish, pasta primavera and some wine. The lasagna dish had an amazing take to it, it was coated in Parmesan breadcrumbs and unlike anything we’ve had before. Very innovative and delicious. The pasta primavera dish had plenty of veggies which was delightful. Loved the bread bar and the delicious butter options too.

★★★★

The food was pretty good. I especially enjoyed the bread bar that they had. The portions were on the larger side. Beer selection was a little limited, but good wine selection. A little on the expensive side to be honest, but not outrageously so.

It was ok. I ordered shrimp pasta with garlic bread. Pasta was average but the bread was burnt. I don’t know how chefs can let burn food get out of the kitchen.

Food was alright! Missed a bit of flavours and salt, but was ok! Service could’ve been better, food came in 1 hour and a half after we ordered. We waited for desert and coffees for a while just to learn from our waitress that their system had problems and they were trying to work things out. The two floor managers looked like they had issues with some other customers so

Omg the bread grill did it for me. Good food for reasonable prices. I had the pizza which was decent. My friends had the veal which they liked a lot. The Caesar salad was good The apple crumble was heavenly.

It's a nice place, a little pricey for what we ordered, but the food was good and the service was nice. Making reservations online was not as successful giving the restaurant never had our reservations and thought it was for Alma and the wrong date. Finding out it was their mistake,but gave us a table anyways.

We went there on a Monday lunchtime, very quiet place with good background music, lots of space between tables, a pleasant waitress, the food was very good and the drinks too, we will go back often I highly recommend

November 23, 2024

Reservation made for several days at 6:30 p.m. for a large group, finally we had our tables at 7:30 p.m. Group made up of children and adults. We were finally able to get our plates around 8:45 p.m. and half were lukewarm. The servers were completely mixed up when it came to bills. I do not recommend this restaurant unless you have nothing else to choose from. The food presentation was adequate and the ambiance was good. That said, the service was terrible and we were even asked to pay the bills before ordering desserts. Not strong, really not strong. Half of our group had to leave since it took too long to order. Luckily there was bread that was able to feed us for 2 hours not paying for a restaurant. I dont recommend this restaurant unless you have time to spare!

Booked a week in advance for my 1 year anniversary, called back 2 days before to confirm. Finally they made the reservation for the next day... Space for 10 people on a Friday evening, its not a good fit

Perfect as a family place! Since there were several of us, we had a place to ourselves, but I found that it separated us less, but at least we were next to the bread barbecue/toaster and when I asked for two bottles of water, he made them quickly. The meal arrives a little late, but it is excellent! I recommend it if you are hungry Vegetarian options: I cant tell you more because we dont eat too much vegetarian food, sorry Kid-friendliness: There is a very good childrens menu for them, but for the bread bar, if he/she is under 6-7 years old I advise being accompanied by an adult

Kid-friendliness: Oui Elle est adapté Food

March 23, 2024

The food for lunch was not very good, the service was far from adequate. The waitress was never there except to take orders and pay the bills (no smile). We politely told her of our disappointment with the eggs which were not cooked and we received no apology or explanation, she only told us that she would tell us in the kitchen. Very disappointing and high price for the quantity and quality. In short, it is a restaurant specializing in pasta and not lunches.

★★★

March 23, 2024

the atmosphere was casual and welcoming and the food was excellent but the service was poor. The waitress rolled her eyes at us when we asked her something and I asked her to sing happy birthday to a friend and she didnt do it because she couldnt find her boss but he was walking around the restaurant throughout the evening. I find it quite ordinary as a service

My dish this evening cost $27 .to put it on the table dhôte it was $19 more .2/3 of the price of my meal .its a scam for what I got got! I will never go to Pacini again. Yet it was one of my spots during my business runs. A bad snail starter and a good dessert but nothing more is never worth $20! It cost me $60 including tip and I didn t consume any alcoholic drinks.

I was surprised at the deterioration in quality at this restaurant. The server was very nice and courteous, but it was too slow. There werent many people there and we waited over 45 minutes to receive our food. It was 1 p.m. The red leatherette benches give the impression of sitting on the ground. We seem to want to give a chic and modern air to a family restaurant. Its monotonous. Same with the spaghetti Bolognese sauce, bland and tasteless and the same for the millefeuille lasagna. Only the presentation was pretty. Very disappointed. Im sure you can do much better.

The atmosphere is warm, nothing more, the bread bar is pleasant but the users do not respect the only established rule. The service was fast and good. My seafood linguine had a good portion but the flavors were slightly bland. Dessert was disappointing and expensive. I would go back but certainly not on a regular basis. The pizza was very good! Pretty ordinary spaghetti.

December 23, 2023

Nice setting, appetizing menu, friendly welcome at the entrance, Then, dish not up to the price... we carefully selected a restaurant which serves dishes with taste interest (well, something other than burgers or poutines!!!) Its good, but not worth the asking price. As for the waitress who does the minimum required to fulfill whether youre okay?, no smile, an obvious lack of interest in the customers, simply interested in the tip that we didnt leave, and that she strives to claim!! If only she wants to understand that a tip for service is earned according to the service provided

I wasnt planning to share my disappointment through a comment, but given the waitresss sarcasm following the fact that I didnt tip the bill, I did. Very pleasant setting with a most appetizing menu and a welcome from a very friendly young girl, unfortunately on the plate we are a little disappointed (perhaps we are used to French gastronomy and not objective). Concerning the service, the smile and kindness were not there AT ALL. In my opinion, asking if you are okay and if it was without sincerity and without really caring about the answer is not enough to justify quality service. The waitress, noticing that we had not tipped, pointed it out to us in a condescending tone at first and, only afterwards, asked us what had gone wrong. I therefore explain to him that the form is not enough if the substance is not there, and that we felt that the few very short interactions (3 in total of around two seconds each, the longest being the justification of the tip, including the order taken and the bill) that we had with her were interested, in addition to our taste disappointment which she really didnt care about. All that mattered to her at that moment was her tip which she didnt get, which confirmed our feelings. Since hypocrisy is not in my values, I add a tip in the US, in Canada as in France or Italy if I feel authenticity in the exchanges with customers, and not only because the service is not not understood nor because I quote we pay to serve you here, I would have you say .

The food was good, but very long service and inappropriate comments from the waitress. Once served the waitress only came back to see us after more than 30 minutes for the bills, we had no more water or drink and we were waiting for more and we also wanted to order a dessert on the spot, but by Fearing that it would take more than 30 minutes once again, we ordered our dessert to take away. We were in a corner of the restaurant far from the servers so we couldnt wave to him for service unfortunately. Once the bills were given, my father was going to give 10% since the service was correct and the waitress in a very arrogant tone asked if there was something she had not done correctly since according to her the The tip was very small, honestly it made us all very uncomfortable so to avoid a conflict my father changed his tip to 15% and we left very disappointed with the service.

Well the bread bar was depleted of supplies and the power went out. We couldnt be served even when the power went out. They either were unable to reboot the system or just didnt want to. They explained that all the orders and bills were dependent on the computer system. What ever happened to pen and paper? We had to scramble to find another restaurant that was still open.
