Went to Pacino’s after reading recommendations on Trip Adviser and it didn’t disappoint. Food was lovely, staff were brilliant and it had a lovely atmosphere. We liked it so much we ate there again on our second night in Chester and look forward to visiting again on our next time in Chester.

A great little Italian which I can highly recommend to you. It’s tucked away so you’re unlikely to come across it when out & about in Chester. It was only a 5 minute walk from where we were staying (The Mill Hotel) so was ideally situated for us. We had a bowl of olives to share followed by lasagna, spaghetti marinara with a side of fresh veg. For dessert, we chose a raspberry panna cotta & a strawberry cheese cake. The house Pinot Grigio wine is very drinkable (I had 2 large glasses) & my husband had 1.5 pints of Peroni. The total bill was about £65 so it really is excellent value for money.

One of Chester’s best kept secrets, this place has been going since the 80’s, but has a vibe of the 70’s. Pizza, pasta, steak or fish, it is all best quality. The waitress was very friendly and on her own, she was rushed off her feet, but we never felt unattended. Already planning another visit.

I came here a few years ago, and remember it as one of the nicest meals I’d ever had, so was excited to return. It’s a lovely looking restaurant, but felt a bit like a cafe this time. Only one man serving, only 2 other couples eating. Functional rather than friendly service. Food disappointing-calamari not fresh, bruschetta was just cheese on toast with a tomato on top. Pizza looked like a £1 frozen Asda type. My seafood tagliatelle was bland with a few frozen prawns. No care in presentation. Won’t return as there are much better Italian places in Chester. Really sad!

Chose this restaurant due to the good reviews and we were not disappointed . It is a little way away from the centre but worth the visit and much better than the pricier establishment where we dined on our last visit. We were warmly welcomed on arrival and chose from the extensive menus and specials. I had cauliflower and cheddar soup and my partner had avocado with rose marie sauce to start , both excellent. Mains were duck and fillet steak, perfectly cooked to our requirements . Some of the nicest food we've had in a long time and the service was good , with the waitress providing a friendly, prompt and efficient service.

We found this restaurant on TripAdvisor during a short stay in Chester. The decor was very nice and the waitress very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of delicious barolo which was reasonably priced. The starters were good and we were happy. My husband's chicken was alright - nothing special. I ordered pasta marinara and I would say it was the absolute worst seafood marinara I have ever had! The menu describes it as prawns, mussels and squid. There was a very small quantity of tiny tastless prawns and mussels and two small unrecognisable tastless lumps of rubber which I assume was the squid. Then there was lots of cheap seafood sticks chopped into the dish!! The tomatoes and garlic was barely cooked tinned tomatoes, also tastless. For £13 I expect juicy prawns, mussels and squid. Not cheap crab sticks. The waitress didn't check whether the food was alright or I would have sent it back. She was on her own and the restaurant was busy. I picked out the seafood and ate some of the pasta. I did complain and we were not charged but it meant also that I hadn't had a full meal. When paying I questioned the inclusion of crab sticks and she said that's how they always serve it. I said that's not what's on the menu. I also said I would have expected some prawns and mussels in the shells and the reply was that people complain about shells. Surely anyone ordering seafood know about seafood shells?

Second visit to Pacinos. Service and food were excellent. Delicious, generous and well cooked sea bass; steak cooked exactly as requested (sadly not often the case). Sticky toffee pudding was very good, as was rhubarb panacotta. Definitely worth a visit - it's just a few minutes walk from the centre of Chester.

Nicely decorated, homely abs welcoming feel, much bigger than it seems from outside. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The is a wide range of food on the menu and a great selection of wine! We had the chicken and mushroom crepe and goats cheese bruschetta to start - both were fab! Then the crab and chilli spaghetti and the chicken tagelelli for mains. Both were amazing.

Estábamos visitando Chester durante el fin de semana y encontramos este lugar mirando Google Maps para encontrar un lugar cerca de nuestro hotel. Leí algunas críticas y me gustó el sonido. ¡No nos decepcionó! Como dicen muchas reseñas desde el exterior, no es mucho y no está en la mejor ubicación. Sin embargo, aparte de eso, todo lo demás fue excelente. . . desde que reservó la mesa, el hombre del teléfono fue muy amable. Al entrar nos recibió un amable miembro del personal que nos acompañó a nuestra mesa. Teníamos una niña de 1 año con nosotros (nuestra hija, ¡no al azar que habíamos recogido!) El personal fue muy atento y todos se detuvieron para hablar con ella durante la comida. La comida estuvo excelente. ¡Bistec de grupa y cangrejo con chile, ambos hermosos! ¡Felizmente hicieron una pequeña pasta boloñesa para nuestra hija que también la disfrutó muchísimo!Odio que sea necesario mencionarlo, pero a algunas personas les importará y les complacerá escucharlo. . . El distanciamiento social se mantuvo en todo momento. Con un enfoque de sentido común, no hubo medidas sin sentido ni las temidas palabras "¡lo siento, no estamos haciendo eso debido a COVID! "Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, comida deliciosa, ambiente agradable sin duda volvería si en la zona de nuevo!

La entrada a Pacino haría que sea muy fácil caminar. Pero no estuvimos a punto de hacerlo y estamos muy contentos de no haberlo hecho. Es un restaurante pequeño y sin pretensiones. Eso se siente hogareño. Está limpio y se siente cálido y cómodo sin aires ni gracias. La comida era muy buena y tenía un sabor casero. Definitivamente no es uno de los restaurantes italianos de "cadena" moderna. El servicio fue completado por una sola camarera que fue simplemente excelente servicio atento pero no intrusivo y anticuado con una sonrisa. El menú es pequeño pero sabía muy bien, para los platos principales comí cangrejo y espaguetis con chili mi esposa escalope y ravioles de gambas en salsa de crema de chili y vino. Ambos platos eran hermosos. Y LUEGO crumble de manzana (casero) y budín de caramelo pegajoso con natillas. NUNCA he tenido eso en ningún restaurante italiano antes. Fue tan bueno. Pruébelo, no se decepcionará. A un precio muy razonable también. Bien hecho, sigue así. Volveremos a visitar la próxima vez que estemos en Chester.

Esperamos 15 minutos antes de preguntarnos qué bebida queríamos, luego esperamos otros 20 minutos más por lo que queríamos comer. y eso fue solo porque me senté allí con los brazos cruzados. Tablero. ! ! ! ! Me traje un bistec pidió medio a bien, cortado en bistec saliendo sangre pidió que lo cambiaran lo hicieron fue mejor, para entonces mi pareja terminó su comida esperándome. Las porciones son malas, no valen la pena. Vaya a shey jules mucho mejor comida y servicio, perdón por este informe, tal vez lo pilló en una mala noche.

As with the other reviews, we turned up and wondered if we’d got the right place: from the outside, it doesn’t look the most inviting of restaurants and is located outside of the city.Once inside though, the service is very prompt and the food is simply delicious!We had risotto, calamari and garlic bread to start; and two pasta dishes for main. All were of a high standard.We were so thankful to the reviews on Tripadvisor - we almost certainly would not have chosen to come to this part of the city and, even if we had, may not have chosen to take the plunge and go into this establishment. What a mistake that would have been! Give it a go: you won’t regret it!

After returning early from a very wet, but enjoyable camping trip, we decided to carry on our holiday at home and wanted to go out for a meal to celebrate my sons exam results. We were so grateful that they managed to fit a party of nine in that evening. On arrival all Covid rules were followed. The menu was extensive and the service was fabulous. The food was something else, and we have eaten in many Italian restaurants, we all had something different ranging from pasta, pizza, steak and lamb, the starters were gorgeous and the pate was to die for. We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. The prices were really good and would be even better if you went on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday as they are part of the eat out for less scheme. We are already planning our next visit.

We went with friends to Pacinos, a restaurant I’ve always liked and visit a couple of times a year.It was great to see it open again and even better that it was busy.The food was up to it’s usual standard and the Gavi went down very nicely. This local restaurant deserves support.

I have to admit from the outside it looks nothing and seems to be in a grim area but WOW the food more than made up for it. Clean and tidy inside, staff very nice and helpful.Pate was some of the best I've had and Sirloin steak for main was tasty and cooked just how I asked.Hubby had ribs and then Ribeye steak and he loved it too.They say never judge a book by it's cover and I'm glad we didn't

I don’t often bother with reviews. But I’m making an exception as it was so good. I used to live right by here and call in on occasion 10 years ago. I haven’t been from probably best part of 9 years, but it’s gotten even better. The food is world class. With the added bonus that it’s really reasonably priced. The staff are also really attentive and lovely. I imagine this restaurant has only lasted so long in this location because it is so bang on the money with the food and service. They were so good with my little boy too. Thank you very much.

When you approach this little gem you may think, this may not be the place we were looking for. But like the Tardis, it turned out to be the best little Italian in Chester, once we was inside. An absolutely fabulous meal and fabulous service. And an excellent not to expensive bill. The best Italian in Chester.

Booked this based on the great reviews. We can only assume that the majority of clients are from the local area. The location is on an estate and looks pretty dire from the outside. In their defense the place is spotlessly clean and service is ok.Our food was fairly tasteless. Dry chicken, poorly flavored steak accompanied by frozen chips and a smattering of mushrooms.An 80’s throwback that will deliver bland food in a location reminiscent of a set from ‘Shameless’.

After my wife had been cooking a meal for us for the last 138 evenings I decided to book a table for two we found the restaurant very safe, and that the service and food were excellent and we both enjoyed our first night out together since the 10th MarchI had the steak and my wife the Sea Beam, and we will certainly be going back again very soon

If I’m fully honest I was very disappointed. I can’t say that I will be returning again or recommending

A dinner with clients in Chester on the very evening restaurants had to close following advice from government. The owners were very hospitable, I was a guest of regulars and despite everything the atmosphere was great and appropriate.Food was excellent, very authentic Italian, the risotto for starter was excellent.It is clear this restaurant has a regular clientele, the best 'review' you can have. I look forward to returning in the future.

Celebrated my birthday and retirement here with a group of 30. Pre ordered, everyone commented on the quality of the food and the service. Lovely atmosphere friendly and efficient staff, great value for money. One of my friends who has travelled to Italy and is a real foodie said the food was more authentic than many restaurants in Italy.
