    We love Pacci’s a local independently owned small restaurant. Originally known for its Neapolitan pizza, which is still great, now encompasses a basic Italian menu with daily specials. Our party enjoyed lasagna- “flavorful meat, delicious ricotta, maybe a little too much red sauce”, calzone- “good dough, nice amount of cheese and meat, could have benefitted from more sauce or a separate dipping sauce”, and picatta style barrumundi- “moist flavorful fish, light lemon butter sauce with plenty of capers.” Service was prompt and friendly, not intrusive, could have a little more attentive.

    My clumsy fingers have somehow erased my previous detailed song of praise. Sorry, but I have to be quicker this time. Morgan was our server and we had many questions and discussions - we could not throw her. Everything she recommended after listening to us EXCEEDED expectations. (We stayed so long her break came before dessert so her manager kindly stepped in and recommended a dessert I would normally not have considered - SO good!). We felt lucky to get to sit in a quiet but jolly atmosphere and catch up and laugh. Looking forward to next time!!!
