Pacino's Restaurant

7/20/24: Wow. Just wow. Excellent food, friendly staff, Pacino memorabilia all over the place (well, duh), a spotless interior with a large patio. What more could you need? Oh, music!! We are definitely going to return to Pacino's because if you see the brunch/lunch menu, oh baby, we want some of that!Our server, Javier, was exceptional: polite, funny, and just on top of everything. We never had to ask for drink refills or for the table to be cleared off to make room for more food. He was constantly checking in on us from the moment we sat down, and for the entire 2 hrs we were there enjoying the ambiance and delicious food.Appetizers: bread w/ vinegar & oil, caprese board, fried artichoke. Awesome. The artichokes being fried was a new experience for all of us; we had to force ourselves to stop munching or we wouldn't be able to eat our meals. We did devour the bread, though!Meals: chicken picatta, malenzane parmigiana (eggplant, gnocchi), taste of Italy (lasagna, chicken parm, fettucine alfredo). All of it hot, well flavored, loaded with cheese, and just damn good. Again, we had to stop because there was no way we were missing dessert.Desserts: dolce vita (pizza with ricotta, blueberries, basil, thin crust), salted caramel cheesecake, mousse di limone. All of it: well worth the calories! The pizza was on the menu as being black, not blue, berries, but that was the only hiccup with our entire orders.Pacino's was a 40 minute drive for us but as alluded earlier, we will definitely make that drive again. Such a great place!

Pacino's Restaurant Real Italian is a killer spot with killer, AUTHENTIC Italian and killer folks! Grade A. #1 with a bullet! My friend Karen recommended this for a get together we were doing and it was perfect! Frank, the owner, was there and made sure everything was perfect and set up to look great. The bartenders were friendly and the food was fantastic! They have live music and a great patio. A great variety of italian food and it's a locally owned, family run business. I recommend. 2831 N Power Rd, Mesa (mcdowell & power)

This was our first time trying Pacino's and it was a great experience. We got there at 4:30 and sat in the bar so we could take advantage of their happy hour specials. The only thing to be aware of is that happy hour only goes until 5:00 unlike most restaurants where it's 6:00. However our waiter did let us order a second round of drinks before the cut off so there was no problem. They had a very nice bar area with ability to sit at the bar, high top tables, low top tables, outside tables with misters, or the outside bar that opens to the inside. The dining room looked nice as well.My husband and I both ordered martinis which were good. The waiter, Jason, wanted to make sure it was to our liking so he brought us out more olive juice to dirty it up more. That was such a nice gesture.For dinner I chose the garlic salmon, it was served on a bed of creamy risotto and asparagus spears and was delicious. I'm just sorry I didn't take a picture to share. My husband got the spaghetti and Grandma's meatballs. The portion was large with two huge meatballs, my husband really liked it. He only ate half, it was so much, and gets to enjoy the other half for another dinner.Finally a big shout out to Jason, our waiter! He made our experience extra special. He had a great sense of humor and was very attentive. We even enjoyed the funny drawing he left for us on the back of the bill. We will definitely be back soon!

If you know me, then you know I'm a caprese aficionado. Always looking for a great Caprese, which led my Yelp Bestie Chelsey H. and I to check this establishment out as we found via the Yelp App. Yelpies usually have the best recommendations!We came on a fairly busy Friday night, but they have ample seating inside so we had no wait. Our server was very attentive even with multiple tables, and the band being quite loud right next to our booth. They even had great recommendations and helped us decide on what to order. I'm happy to say the caprese was amazing, and I really enjoyed the pasta dish we ordered as well. The pizza flavor wasn't my favorite, but it was still really good! I know Chelsey said it was great as leftovers. Next time, we will try a different flavor as the crust/sauce was amazing! All in all, we definitely see us coming back!

We took my mother in law here to celebrate her 78th bday. It was an amazing experience; from the great atmosphere, to the delicious food, to the world class service that we received. We had a party of 8 ppl. Dishes ranged from , lasagna, fish, veal, chk parm, and lobster ravioli. The presentation with each dish was tastefully done. The waiter kept our drinks full, gave us fresh plates and forks for our amazing cannolis and cheesecake. I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice outing with your friends and family. I will definitely be back.

My wife and I love the food and atmosphere at Pacino's Restaurant. They have live music some of the days of the week which adds to the dining experience and the wait staff are very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter remembered my wife and I from our first time dining there and he welcomed us back. The homemade pastas and sauces are so delicious and I always look forward to going back to try something different on their menu.

Very conveniently located Italian restaurant in Mesa. A part of the larger complex you're bound to found parking. I highly recommend a reservation as I did not have one, so we found seating at the bar. For appetizers we chose the fresh fruit and cheese board as well as truffle fries. The truffle fries were gone before I even got to try one. Those were amazing to say the least. I got the Bolognese pasta super fresh and filling. They have dinner specials which were extremely delicious and consumed to their entirety by my family. As far as drinks, we got mocktails and wine all very good. The bartender was our server and she did an excellent job, very attentive everything was super quick. The dining set up outside looked gorgeous, I would love to get a seat out there sometime.

The food was great! We had quick service and it was karaoke night! The ambiance was so chill and fun!

Not my best experience with Italian restaurants Meat was overdone, wine ok, but salad was the worst. That was my first and last time for this place

Love Love Love this place! The best bartender in the valley Allie works here and she is amazing!The Ossobuco was tender, flavorful and this from a full blooded Italian from New York! The best in Mesa! Definitely worth checking this place out!
