Paccis — Restaurant in Washington

My partner and I were really excited to try this place, but we found the experience meh. First, we were sat in the basement, which has a very different ambiance than the upstairs (which is really cute). The basement feels unfinished and has a very different vibe than upstairs.

Food was just okay for us. We had the wild boar tagliatelle and lasagna which were fine. Next time we'd both try something else.

Service was a little off, and I'm not sure if this is because the restaurant is pretty new or maybe understaffed in the basement. We felt rushed to order entrees, had to request a bucket to chill wine, and then had to ask for a check after waiting for a while. However, our food came out really quickly, and the waiter was nice.

If we went back, I'd try the pizza or maybe just swing by for a drink/snack at the bar. If you're making reservations, I suggest requesting...

I found this spot on a whim. My friend and I were rained on and cold, I looked at Google Maps and saw Pacci's was super close. We took a chance (since we have never been there) and loved the food and our Mules (alcoholic drinks). I had the Linguine Ai Frutti Di Mare. It was delicious, as was the side order of bread. I would definitely recommend this place to others. I gave 4 stars for the atmosphere because cold air was blowing on us and we were already cold from the rain so that was a bit uncomfortable. I would love to travel back to DC to visit this place again though. Love...

Went with my partner and had a fine time. Prices are in line with other upper scale Italian joints around the city, and the location is very convenient for the cap hill area. Food was very solid, verging on excellent. The pizza was well constructed, and the carbonara was delicious. Wine bottles start at $45 and go up. Our $55 Barbera was very nice. Dinner for 2 (1 app, 2 entrees, and a bottle of wine) came out to just under $150 after tax and tip.

It's not gonna win any awards, but it's a solid option in a part of town with limited dining options. We'll be back and I hope...
