I've been looking for a good veal parm sandwich since I moved to Phoenix 12 years ago. I found a great one. Even though I was there after lunch, the owner Frank, was kind enough to whip one up for me. And it rocked. Pretty place, nice staff. What more can ya say about a place this good ? Oh yeah.... Frank, call me if you're interested. Ask some of the other musicians who play there. Like you, I'm quite good at my job.
Pacino s is a great place to have a glass of wine and an appetizer. Everything I have ordered has been excellent. The pizza is very good too. They have prime rib on Tuesdays, wine Wednesday 1/2 off a bottle of wine. I hope to go to their Sunday brunch soon. They have entertainment at the brunch and in the evening. AWSOME addition to the East Mesa /Las Sendas area.
I went here for lunch to try the meatball sub. It was incredible . Great atmosphere , the employees are super friendly , the owner Frank is awesome . Most importantly , the food was on point . Definitely recommend and will be back soon .
This was the second time we had dinner, together at this esrablihment. They have entertainment and last evening's entertainment was a keyboard playing some of favorites! Wait staff was excellent & the food was incredible. Ceasar salad with fresh got chichen, pizza was tasty, Italian beer & nice wine, also topped off our night in an Italian style! Thanks, Frank...
Our family has been enjoying Pacino's since it opened, but last night's dinner was the best ever! Chef Lorenzo outdid himself with his Halibut special, topped with Crabmeat, with delicious ravioli on the side!
Shannon, our favorite server, was, as always, attentive to our every need!

Pacino's is our "go to" place. The food is always excellent (seriously, try the Cioppino and the Lobster Ravioli) and the atmosphere is friendly, comfortable and just lively enough. Being "empty nesters", my husband and I like to sit at the bar and have our meal. Zane makes that experience great. He remembers what we like to eat and drink, and often has our drinks waiting for us by the time we make it from the door to the bar. This guy is a serious multi-tasker! We love the live music, too!
Always great service and great food at Pacino's!! Original family recipes from New York. Zane has done a great job bringing in good wines as well. If you like great food, great wine, great service, at great prices then go to Pacino's. You will be glad you went to Pacino's.
We have never had a bad meal here. We see the owner every time we have eaten here. GR8 place.
Food was delicious, atmosphere was relaxed and calm, waiter Steve was the best! They are from the Bronx �
The food and service was excellent. We had a party of 14 and Frankie and the staff were very accommodating to us. Thank you for making our thanksgiving dinner wonderful.
The food was served to the crowd very quickly and it was good, especially the rice balls - very cleverly done. We were there for a tribute to Eric Clapton and it was done very professionally and timely. The band was great too!
The food is fabulous!! Everything that the GNO ladies ordered was cooked to perfection and Merideth, our waitress, was a delight!!! Thank you for taking such good care of us!!!
Bri, you bring EXCELLENCE to the service industry!! Honestly you are wonderful server! It was our first time here and we are completely impressed. The food is LEGIT and made the right way!! And I am a tiramisu critic, their Tiramisu is impressive. I love the live music too, my husband and I even danced. This is your go-to place for just a good meal, good company and a good vibe! You should do yourself a favor and come here to.
We are greeted with a very friendly waitress that was genuinely nice. Made us feel very comfortable when making decisions as far as what to order. She knew the menu very well and the food was excellent. If you're hungry for Italian food, this is the place to go. I would highly recommend it and would eat here again!

From the moment you step into this charming local Italian restaurant, you're greeted with the warmth and hospitality that only a local-owned establishment can offer. Every visit here is a delightful experience, but the dishes that truly stand out are the eggplant parmigiana and the salmon salad with house dressing.
The eggplant parmigiana is a masterpiece, with layers of thinly sliced eggplant, rich and flavorful marinara sauce, and perfectly melted mozzarella cheese. It's a dish that comforts the soul and pleases the palate, leaving you savoring each bite.
As for the salmon salad, it is freshness embodied. The salmon is always cooked to perfection, flaky and seasoned just right, complementing the crisp greens and the white balsamic house dressing that adds a zesty flair to the meal.
It's not just the food that makes this place special; it's the consistently excellent service, the cozy ambiance, and the feeling of community that keeps me coming back. This restaurant isn't just a place to eat; it's a place to feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cooking and a warm, welcoming dining experience.
My husband and I celebrated his Birthday in this modest local restaurant in NE Mesa. The dinner menu is broad and has a good selection. He enjoyed the Three Meat Lasagna and I also enjoyed a pasta dish, Little Ears. Both of us appreciated the side order of anchovies on our Caesar salads. Service was very attentive and it was noticed that the kitchen and service staff all had their hair pulled back, and/or were wearing caps in the kitchen.
Dessert was an indulgent chocolate cake which was yummy.
Pacino's has a nice range of wines also.
Generally good value and portions, as we took home leftovers of our main meal and the dessert.
I do think they can do better for a crispier Brussel sprout appetizer, as it was a bit oily. However it was fully eaten!
It was impressive to see the owner or manager on the floor, checking in with guests, on a modest Tuesday evening of diners.
The menu had a lot of different options that looked great, but I ended up taking the servers suggestion of the Meatball Sub. It was amazing! Giant meatballs, plenty of cheese, and extra sauce on the side. I’ll definitely be back.
Sat outside on a beautiful day with my old friend from American Airlines. The food was awesome just a little small for our taste. I'm used to the huge portions in Chicago. Overall very good. Service was excellent
First time visiting, wonderful experience and delicious food. Had the taste of Italy since we had never been here before figured it was a logical start. Excited to try something new next time.
Excellent experience! Staff was attentive and the restaurant was spotless. Food was timely, well cooked, balanced, and you can tell they care about quality. Can't wait to go back for the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve and the Italian American Thanksgiving sounds like a tradition waiting to happen. Check them out, you won't be disappointed.
Beautifully appointed restaurant with an incredible menu. The grilled salmon was perfectly cooked with a bit of char on the edges but soft inside, and served fresh off the fire. The risotto was creamy and quite delicious. I can't wait to go back and order the same meal!
I enjoyed my fettuccine very much just what I was hoping for! Rich creamy sauce. Beautiful place, friendly staff, good food. I would write 4 1/2 stars doesn’t give that option. The service was a little on the slower side and that’s why it’s not five stars.
I am Gluten Free and I can alway get an adapted entree to order
We come here quite often and have never had a bad meal but tonight I had the Sea Bass over their creamy Risotto which of course was a special order
There are not a lot of great restaurants in Mesa but this has to be one of the best
I am not a food person but tonight I have to say I had the best meal I have had since we moved here. This is the top of our fo to restaurants
And an added bonus great entertainment either inside or from the wine bar across the way
Brie did a wonderful job waiting on us, very attentive and the food was perfect! We ordered the veal plate & blackened Salmon, both were delicious and presented nicely. Everyone is very friendly. We had Kaden (sp?) last time time we were there & he was just as good. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here.
Second visit, first-time with family for twins' birthday. Delicious dishes and appetizers; special birthday canolis, too. It was really nice to hear and converse with family without blaring music interfering. Our servers were respectful and attentive. Kudos to them and their manager!
Excellent authentic Italian food! Good portions at a fair price. I'm a native New Yorker ... our waitress (Kiki) delighted us with genuine East coast style banter. The vibe at Pacino's reminded me of New York's little Italy in the 1990s. You'll get tasty Italian food in an atmosphere that invites you to relax and maybe hum a tune while you eat.
Amazing experience! This was our first time here, and we will definitely be coming back. There were so many things on the menu that sounded delicious it was hard to pick just 1! Went with the Spaccheti, and it did not disappoint!
Had the Strawberry Chicken Salad and Chicken Piccatta... so goood!! Server was very helpful and had great recommendations on what to get.
