We had a lovely meal at Pacino’s. The 2 course mid week meal value is excellent. I had the Lobster Ravioli, slight chilli spice but delicious. Support our local Chester family run restaurants mid week, let’s keep this little gem around!

Having been to many many restaurants in my 46 years I have experienced very good and some not so good foods and quality of foods , pacinos was the best food I have ever had the pleasure to eat , I rarely give reviews but this place is in another league , the menu caters all needs and has plenty of choices plus there’s a daily special on their chalk boards which includes all courses , to top it off the prices are mesmerising as I have never had such quality food at such competitive prices ! To say I was blown away would be an understatement and I will definitely be going again and highly recommend Pacinos to all that visit Chester 🏆

Had a lovely family meal here last night celebrating my brothers birthday. Me and my family have been coming here for years and the quality is always consistent. Tasty classic italian dishes, not trying to be a pretentious restaurant, just really good homecooked food at reasonable prices, along with brilliant service and a calming ambience. I would recommend this hidden gem in Chester!

This is truly a hidden gem, a legend in Italian food in Chester. I have been wanting to try this place for years. Finally got there and wasn't disappointed ! We went mid week and they did a special menu of 2 courses for £15 !! Great value. We had goats cheese bruchetta, risotto and lasagne. It was delicious, will definitely return. The host was so knowledgeable and attentive, a pleasure to attend for dinner.

Went midweek and had the early bird menu. Restaurant was warm and comfortable even though the weather was freezing outside. The four of us each ordered a different starter and main course. The beer was nice, the food was lovely, the service was efficient without being intrusive and the bill less than we were expecting. This family run restaurant is a well concealed gem where you wouldn't think to look and we will definitely be back!

I had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that exceeded my expectations in every way. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior of the restaurant radiated an incredibly cozy and inviting atmosphere. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the fillet steak we ordered. What impressed me the most was the fact that, despite our group of five each requesting different levels of doneness, the kitchen managed to flawlessly accommodate our individual preferences. Each steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and surpassing our expectations and showcasing the chef's culinary expertise. The restaurant also stands out for its affordable prices, which pleasantly surprised me given the high quality of the food, comfortable ambiance, and excellent service. It truly offers great value for the dining experience it provides. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was exceptional, and I can confidently say that I will definitely be returning. I would highly recommend to others.

Out of the way comfortable Italian experience, very much like a Trattoria. The service and ambience are very good, with good quality well prepared food. Nice and tidy inside with maybe a slight refresh needed in the gents…but only a niggle. Prices are keen considering the home cooked quality. On my list for a return visit.

From the outside the restaurant doesn't look very inviting but once inside you're transported into a very traditional Italian restaurant. From being seated you're made to feel part of the family, the atmosphere is perfect. The menu is vast and has so much to choose from we can't wait to go back.

We were disappointed to find that some of the menu items we were interested in trying were not available. Additionally, the cuisine did not feel authentically Italian, as the flavors were rather bland. The desserts served were more reminiscent of English desserts rather than Italian ones. The host seemed to be in a hurry, and when we inquired about the availability of Italian desserts, he simply responded that it wasn't something customers desired.

Can't speak highly enough of this restaurant following my first visit there. As soon as you enter the door it's like being in a restaurant abroad. The decor and the welcome were exactly what you would expect if you were in a high end establishment in Italy. That brings me to the food. I had the crab cakes for my starter which were delicious and the veal for the main which topped of a perfect meal. The staff were very friendly and attentive and we will certainly be back again.

The family and I have been coming here for years. Absolutely adore this place. Always great service and fantastic food and tasty wine. It truly is the hidden gem of Chester, we always recommend Pacino’s to our friends. Took my mum here today for her birthday. As always, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. I had the house red, the pork ribs and goats cheese bruschetta as a starter and then the lamb shank with a side of super tasty vegetables for the main. And of course I had to have a dessert - cheesecake! Everything was fantastic. Cleared our plates as always. Pacino’s really makes you feel like part of the family. You’re welcome in with open arms and served such delicious food. We’re all so ready for a nap now. We’ve had a lovely evening. Always come here if you get the chance.

We are from Bristol and we were travelling up to Chester for the night and was trying to find a traditional Italian restaurant near where we were staying. I called Pacinos to book a table prior to our visit and the lady on the phone was so lovely and so helpful, told us where to park explained about the area which on first glance is a little run down but this is no reflection on the restaurant. The staff were so friendly and the food was AMAZING!! If I’m ever in Chester again I would 100% come back! 10/10

Disappointed with our meal and the service last night...definitely not the experience we have had in the past. Service was slow, waited quite a while for someone to take our order. Garlic bread was a chunk of bread with garlic and melted cheese....not the normal at all. Pasta dishes were very small portions. Had to as for cutlery and serviettes. Had to ask for more drinks each time. No one asked if our meals were OK. A large queue was formed at the bar whilst customers were paying their bills at one point...not very socially distant at all. Such a shame as we have been eating here on occasions since it opened in 1986!!!!!!

They give u a rose toy-like device that beeps and vibrates when your food is ready which gives you time to look around the market which is super helpful, food was delish and the plates were pretty and i love the whole aesthetic
