So Accomodating staff. Though not many Veg otions but whatever we ordered it was super tasty. I have made repeated visits and we hosted a party aswell. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and birthdays also. They gave us a free dessert and sang the Blessing song for me too.. it was so over whelming.

It's a very nice pacini. Pasta and pizza aare good. Service is efficient. Sparkling water in cool. Cooking and eating your own bread is a very cool experience.

We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for dinner. The calamari was not edible as it was so salty. My husbands pasta had clearly sat for sometime. My pizza did not include the ingredients i ordered and an Italian salad was greens with one cherry tomato cut in half. They had a problem with their ordering system which may have accounted for the lateness in getting our meal.

★★

We waited 20 min and no one came to write down our order. Since the kids were too hungry... We stood up and left the place. We might be an outlier in this scenario, especially reading other good comments. But first impressions matter a lot to me. Despite I might never be coming back, I still wish them good look reviewing this.

During our recent road trip, we stumbled upon Pacini Sherbrooke and it turned out to be a delightful surprise for the entire family. Tucked away in a cozy corner, this restaurant exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you step in. The ambiance is just right—casual yet refined, perfect for families with kids. We were promptly greeted by friendly staff who made us feel welcomed right away. Our server was attentive and patient, especially with our children, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. One standout dish was the Fettuccine Alfredo—it was creamy, rich, and seasoned to perfection. The kids couldn't get enough of the cheesy pizza, which was a hit for both its taste and generous toppings. And of course, no meal is complete without dessert! The Tiramisu was the perfect ending to our dining experience—light, fluffy, and absolutely indulgent. We'll definitely be back on our next road trip!

We waited over 20 minutes for a waiter to come and take our order. What saved it was how friendly our waiter was. She was respectful and attentive, and she made sure we had a good experience after waiting so much. The food was okay, we ordered the feast for two and the steak needed salt. The kids' pizza was really good. Some of the deserts were overly sweet for my taste. We had a good time, and the kids lived the bread station. If you are looking for a nice place to sit down to eat, that is kid's friendly, I say give it a go.

Good food and wine. The attendants were well prepared but sometimes they left the customers alone. Too much food served for 1 portion, I don't like to waste food. Nice environment.

December 9, 2024

Only thing that was good was the wine! Starter of gratinated garlic shrimp at least she was able to do it but there was a hair in it! My partner had the MEDIUM steak, it was almost alive! There were more fried onions than fries on the plate No taste of steak I ordered the Italian salad but as a meal! She arrives at the entrance with a bonus hair in it AGAIN! The waitress, not sure what to do, returns my starter and comes back with a main course! Salad 2 tomatoes and 3 small pieces of chicken in it, that s it! Chicken burned on the outside almost raw on the inside! Pretty ordinary for a plate costing over $20 I ordered gluten-free bread which I never received! Quite disappointed! I should have gone to Baton Rouge!!! We go to the restaurant at least twice a week and tonight was extremely disappointing!!!

We were a group of 30 people and the service was really fast and excellent. The 2 servers who took care of us were very nice and very well prepared.

November 23, 2024

We were seated and waited 20 minutes, still no service. I dont recommend it. We know how to stare throughout our wait without service. The waitresses are really unprofessional, and haughty, if it is to stare into space and ignore the tables.

Chicken plate for $30: half a breast, 3 large hot vegetables (not grilled, just hot) and pasta with almost no sauce. It s ridiculous, I really feel like I threw my money in the trash.

I loved the concept of a bread bar that I didn t know at all! The waitress was really nice. The dishes were OK, the pizza a little expensive for the size but good.

September 23, 2024

Unfortunately, we didnt have time to order or taste as the staff seemed more interested in laughing and having fun than assigning us a table and/or taking our order. We went to eat in another restaurant: great service, good food and our server well deserved his 22% tip. In short, this Pacini will be removed from our restaurant choices during our next visits to Sherbrooke.

Waited 40 minutes for a take-out order while standing in the corridor. No apology, no compensation, I was not even offered to sit at the bar or offered an explanation for the wait. The person just pretended I didnt exist for 40 minutes. I think we could have just Tell me that the wait would be long and maybe offer me a glass of still water at the bar.

Le Pacini de Sherbrooke is a delicious restaurant. In addition to having a delicious selection of pastas, there is a bread bar that will delight the whole family. Especially while waiting for a meal, it allows you to snack while having the toasts filled with butter. On the other hand, I certainly dont like the business philosophy in which when you make a call to make a reservation, there is no response despite several calls spread over time. I tried to call three times to make a reservation at different times because I know that in the restaurant business people can sometimes be very busy and unfortunately never a waiter dares to pick up the phone. I think its a good family restaurant to bring kids or teenagers. It is also a delicious restaurant to drink a glass of wine well selected by Pacini. On the other hand, I think that parking could be improved in terms of potholes. Especially since the customers intended for Pacini often have good quality cars. In this sense having potholes is very annoying. That being said, I recommend people to book online, even if it makes the process of choosing a restaurant inhumane and I encourage you to try the Alfredo pasta which is absolutely delicious and I love their metal plate in which to eat his service. I hope my review helped you think about going to this restaurant

It wasnt too big. My girlfriend and I had the same dish and mine had a little aftertaste like vomit in my noodles. His seemed better, but I ate mine anyway and brought the rest back to make sure it wasnt fair because I had just stuffed my face with way too much garlic buttered bread. while I made a big puddle of grease in my mouth to show my girlfriend. Despite this incident, I did not get sick. Ive never felt like I was going to explode in my entire life, but in the end it was digested very well, and my leftovers actually tasted a little strange. The bread bar is entirely useless, but it works to bring in curious customers. At $25 a plate, I think I would have liked the McDonalds better and kept the rest of the money for later.

Superb service from the waiter, but much too noisy for a so-called chic restaurant. The tables were too close together, we could hear all the conversations of the others and going to the paccini in Quebec and Montreal it was the noisiest and with the most children. It feels like being at McDonalds but paying a $100 bill.

Not the first time at this restaurant, but probably the last. Service was mediocre. We asked to substitute Parmesan fries instead of pasta (and was told they dont do substitution)which we have done in the past. Food -was not hot, grilled vegetables were still raw and cold. The pasta was lukewarm and bland . The waitress didnt even come back to the table for twenty minutes. At that point why bother saying anything. The best part of the meal was the pizza. At least they got that right.

★★
December 23, 2023

Until today I was a regular customer with my children, but I will have to find another restaurant. - fan off in the bread bar = smoke in your restaurant and itchy eyes. - childrens menu $5 from January 9 to April 9, no longer applicable on March 25 depending on the waitress. - haughty/rude attitude of the waitress. Too bad, but I will go elsewhere with my children, for our health and to find a place where the customer is respected.

Waited 30 minutes in the entrance for 3 beaver tails which had to be ready in 10 minutes, when we asked if it was ready soon they told us (we prioritize the dining room) I told them you could have warned us before paying, she tells us (we can refund you if youre not happy) I say perfect and she comes back saying (sorry we cant refund you they did them as a priority since you complained) returned to the car my son tell me its not good, actually its even bad theres no sugar and cinnamon on it just paste which tastes like fat really disgusting almost $30 and more than 30 minutes of waiting for that wow in the trash they should us paying to eat this, really disappointing we will never go back there again. Not even worth 1 star.

J ai commandé des pâtes avec crevettes et pain à l ail pour emporter et j avais demandé de la sauce piquante à côté . Une fois arrivé à mon hôtel je me suis rendu compte que le pain était grillé avec du beurre, pas à l ail, mes pâtes n avaient pas vraiment de goût, et aucune sauce piquante. J étais de passage dans la ville, et je ne retournerai pas à ce restaurant.

I like the fact that children also have an entrance, its a plus compared to other restaurants. And what can I say about the service I had. One of the best servers we had, they would have deserved a 5o% tip, really attentive and attentive. On the other hand, I would have liked a more Italian dessert list, thats what was missing!

We went to eat at this restaurant very early on a Saturday evening, there were 5 of us. The waitress was very nice. There was an error on my daughters entry who did not receive what she had ordered. My daughter-in-law, her dry carbonara, no cream. My husband and I took a platter to share (steak, shrimp, Italian sausage and vegetables). The sausages were forgotten in our tray We had to ask for them. All in all, its not bad, but with the amount of good restaurants these days, go elsewhere.

We recently wanted to eat at your restaurant, without reservation, for dinner. Unfortunately, after waiting 30 minutes outside the entrance, one of the waitresses informed us, after seating people without reservations, that she only accepted people with reservations. I understand that currently there is a shortage of manpower, but please do not wait half an hour to report this information to us, especially if you have brought in people without reservations before us... You still have to be consistent. This is why it would be important to have an attendant at the entrance at all times, even if the evening is particularly busy.

December 23, 2022

Price too high compared to the tiny quantities on the plate and clearly the expensive foods are very limited in the dish. A desire for profit from the brand and not a desire for customer loyalty. The service was okay though. Nothing to do with Pacini from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu which is very good for him! Quantity, taste and price in line with the plate served and the service is excellent.
