Pacini - Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec

Stopped at the one in Drummondville Quebec, best decision of this year ! The lasagna was awesome and I loved the “toast your own bread bar” My waiter was also incredible and helped a wine newbie like me learn some things! Thank you to Christopher for making my nite! I highly recommend ... this restaurant and this hotel (best western Drummondville right off a20) Read more

*Trigger warning* pics of uncooked food attached. Mention of raw uncooked meat in review. The ambiance and decor was nice. The appetizers: arrancini balls were good but not consistent. Some balls were tastier than others. However they were all consistently crispy. A 7/10 The Calamari was done nicely. Not greasy. A touch heavy with ... the salt. A solid 7.5/10 - we really came to this place because we were nostalgic for the bread-bar we remembered as kids; nice to see that there is a bread-bar station. Good assortment of breads and spreads. Fun to toast bread on the grill. Mains: Pizza: tomato + cheese= 8/10 Nice presentation. Came to the table hot. Pasta Carbonara: Nice! 8.5 /10 Tasty. Arrived Hot. Pretty presentation with the egg. Spaghetti & shrimp: 8/10 Tasty, good. Satisfying Salad : Kale + lemon appetizer size : For me this portion size was perfect. The salad overall was fresh, zesty and delicious. 8.5 /10 **Meatballs : appetizers. This was supposed to be paired with my kale salad. So sad that it arrived lukewarm and was so dissapointing to find the meatballs raw in the middle. (Can you hear Gordon Ramsay yell "RAW"!!) They were so raw. - I would err on side of caution for this dish- I think this place is good for groups. Its got a good vibe and if popular items on the menu are chosen then its very likely that it will not dissapoint. * the reason for the low stars : obviously the raw unedible meatballs. After politely letting our waitress know that we were unable to eat or enjoy the dish because... it was raw. She said she would let the kitchen know. I was expecting that she would update us ; or offer apologies. She carried on as if nothing were amiss. AND When it came time to pay. We were quite surprised to see the raw dish on the bill. SIGH We had to awkwardly ask that it be removed since ...the WHOLE thing was raw/ unedible/ no one ate it. *and no she never offered to replace the dish or offer a solution.* Ugh. the awkwardness..Ugh the raw meaty-ness UGH Read more

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately my dining experience left much to be desired. The calamari appetizer was a letdown, overcooked and lacking flavor. The main plate was disappointingly basic, and even the extra meatballs I ordered were unimpressive—tasting like frozen ones. The bread bar and service were the ... only redeeming aspects, but they couldn't make up for the subpar food. For the price paid, I expected better quality. Overall, the experience was just okay, but I won't be returning. I cannot recommend this place for its underwhelming food despite the good service and bread bar. Read more

I had really high expectation for this restaurant, tho it definitly wasnt bad, it wasnt up to my standart, the food was a little expensive for the quality of it. The bread bar was wayyy smaller then expected, it was "alright". Most likely not gonna come back but am happy i ... tried it. Read more

I changed my review to 5 stars because I saw a big change at Pacini and they deserve to get 5 stars. This time I had a spectacular night at Pacini. Food was amazing, service was wonderful and staff were so kind and friendly. As I told you what happened first time I'm ... going to tell you how was my second visit. We reached there around 5pm and they got the order few minutes later. It was amazing. Appetizers and drinks were served shortly. We haven't finished the appetizers that main dishes also were served. Food was amazing, my sons loved the food. The restaurant was full and I noticed the Manger worked hard and helped the staff to provide best ever experience. She was wonderful and I think she did a good job to fix the issues that we experienced last time. If you read other bad reviews most of them complain about the waiting time for serving the food. Buy I assure you that it won't be a case anymore. The manager last time told me she will fix the issue and she did it. I will defenetly will go there and I'm sure I will have perfect dinner. I'm so happy that I came back there and gave the manager and all staff the opportunity to show me how wonderful this restaurant is. I didn't remove my previous review only for showing you the changes and give you a sight that other old reviews like my old review are not valid anymore and you need to ignore all bad reviews and give them another chance. Then you will join me to give them another 5 starts. -------------------------------- My old review: (Please ignore thus part and don't judge base on my old review, I just keep it to give you a context) It was the worst ever experience. They didn't bring the food atfer an hour and half because the lady who got the order forgot to pass it to the kitchen! We stayed there for one hour and half with two kids and had to leave hungry, disappointed and tired. We reached there around 6 pm. A lady got the order after 15 minutes waiting. She left and nothing happened about 45 minutes. Then she came back with drinks! Then I thought food will come shortly after that. After another 30 minutes I called her and ask about the reason behind the delay. I told her why two other tables who came after us got their food. And she said she forgot to give their order to the kitchen so she pushed the chef to prepare their food! So after almost one hour and half waiting for the food, I decided to leave the restaurant.she said ok you need to pay for the drink! And left to bring the bill! She came back after couple of minutes and told me that I don't need to pay for the drink because she forgot to pass the order to the kitchen!!!. Yes! She had only one job to do and she forgot it! Then I talked with manager, she claimed that she just arrived and she didn't know what happened, she tried to fix the issue but the damage was already done. She asked me to give her another chance and be her guest next time. But I don't think I go there for another time. Hope they fix the issue and be more respectful about the time that people spend there. It's a kind of expensive-ish restaurant but the service that they provide is less than a small street food vendor. If I go there one day and if they provide better service I will change this review but for now they deserve to get only 1 star. Read more
