Chez Pacini, si Italien à si bon prix!!!
Restaurant Dec 11, 2008 The Waffle 3 Comments A lot of my Italian friends would scream bloody murder at the mere mention of this chain of Italian-style bistros. Especially Laura. But I am quite fond of Pacini. And for some reason, I have a history of girlfriends who also liked Pacini very much, which makes for cheap romantic dates. That’s right. For sure, it is not top-of-the-line Italian cuisine, but it is not fast food either. The cuisine is simple, the prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere very friendly. Their wine selection is not great, but I’ve seen worse. Pacini launched a new menu last fall, inspired by the work being done at the Pacini culinary academy (located at Bassano Del Grappa, near Venice), with a marketing strategy driven by italo-quebecker singer Mario Calliari. You can even buy his CDs there, apparently, although he must be very popular because last time…
