I went to Pacino’s for Valentine’s Day, as expected is was busy, the wait wasn’t horrible and the hostess staff was very kind and honest. I was seated fairly close to the live singer which at first I thought was a few decimals to loud for a fine dining establishment but as my ears acclimated from the quiet wait outside the music grew on me and it was quite pleasant. Now the food absolutely delicious, I came starved and left full bellied and satisfied. The adorable heart shaped raviolis were perfectly in theme and flavor with a delicate sauce. The salad was light and cleared the palate for the entree. I chose shrimp and scallops over mushroom risotto, and it was perfect. The scallops airy with a nice bounce to them, melted on the tongue. The shrimp bringing the crisp to the meal and seasoned well adding a complimenting texture. The mushroom risotto acting as the tie, smooth and delicious. And finally to end the night with a bang a classic chocolate strawberry with cream and syrup. My date was delighted with the dark chocolate and I couldn’t agree more what a fun way to spend an evening.

Pacino’s Restaurant in Mesa is always a great experience! We visited on a Monday night for a few drinks and appetizers and had such a fun time. We asked for artichoke dip even though it wasn’t on the menu, and Frank, the owner, was incredible — he had the kitchen make it for us and it was absolutely delicious. Wonderful service, warm hospitality, and always a great time at Pacino’s. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience at Pacino’s Italian Restaurant. Everything from start to finish was just spot on. Huge shoutout to our server Javier. Amazing service, a great storyteller, and just an all around awesome person who genuinely made the experience better.
The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the night. The atmosphere was also a big highlight. Very cozy, warm, and comfortable with great lighting. It is quiet and quaint, which makes it a perfect place to actually sit and have a conversation and enjoy the moment.
10 out of 10 experience. We will absolutely be back soon.

We came for Pacinos Got Talent.
Update.
Everything was great but the food.
I had to give a 5 star review in order to give my friend more points in the singing contest. I would not trust the reviews. Today my friend was the only one eliminated because her people didn’t buy enough food.

Don’t go on a Monday night since they close at 9 pm. We went on Monday because it was our anniversary. We had reservations but didn’t need them because it was quite empty. My husband ordered Osso Buco pork shanks. It was delicious. I ordered a jumbo eggplant with cheese ravioli & had to order a secondary dish because they may have been out if the first choice. Guess what I got, 2nd choice. My 2nd choice was spaghetti carbonbara. Wasn’t that hit, it came warm. We were put in a booth that was in a corner with a small divider built next to it & I felt we like cut off. I don’t know, maybe I’m being overly sensitive but if it hadn’t been for our server, things probably would’ve been worse. We asked for am espresso or cappuccino since it was an Italian restaurant but they weren’t able to make one because the machine was down or something like that. Our server gave us a slice of tiramasu for our anniversary but to me, it had no flavor or taste. We went to Pacino’s back when they first opened in like 2013, I believe & it was pretty awesome, the food, the ambiance, the wine & we went back a few more times. But the one time we decided to go back, since my husband’s accident in 2021, we will probably never go back. I don’t think I’ve ever been this disappointed in an Italian restaurant. Who knows, maybe it was because it was on a Monday night & they closed at 9. Who knows!!

The staff is amazing! Especially Katie! Katie is always positive, helpful and kind. I saw her helping servers clear plates from tables. The food is delicious! Hats off to the kitchen staff! I think the prices are reasonable for the quality of food.

Had our daughters rehearsal dinner here out on the patio. Food was amazing, service excellent and beautiful patio. We would definitely come back if in the area. I had the diver scallops. Calamari, shrimp cocktail and fried mozzarella were also excellent. Reasonably priced too.

This is a great local restaurant. Many people know each other by name. The staff is great and owner is always friendly and attentive. They often cater to the karaoke and live music crowds. There are certain times of day/night that the scene is more beneficial to specific groups. Overall, a great experience!
