"My husband and I love Italian food, this place is small but very cozy, the food is fresh, good portions, pizza mmm mamma mia and the gnocchi you have to try it."
I wasn 't planning to eat out tonight but was on my way home when a severe storm induced me to take shelter at Pacci 's. I had ordered pasta to go during the pandemic shutdowns and enjoyed it, but I 'm not eating bread or pasta right now so I figured I 'dhave an app or a salad or something. Enter the specials list, which included salmon with mixed vegetables. Perfect, if I couldjust be sure they wouldn 't overcook it. ???? I asked for medium rare even though it wasn 't a question offered to me. OMG, it wasthe best thing I 've eaten in weeks. The salmon was *perfectly* cooked, and the vegetables were tender and bright flavored with ahearty infusion of garlic. The mix of veg was great as well...
I have been going to this restaurant since they were in downtown Silver Spring. I can tell that the food quality isn't the same anymore!!! Today I ordered gnocchi, which they used to make the best gnocchi!! I was very disappointed!!! ???? I ordered thetomato gnocchi with a breaded chicken!!! The gnocchi was very dry, and the breaded chicken tasted weird!! It wasn't fresh asused to be!!! What happened? Did you change management? Or is this a new owner? This restaurant used to be the best authenticItalian restaurant around this area, but not anymore!!!????
I 'm giving them three stars because they appear to be restructuring their menu. Sadly this means no more beautiful, iltalian, all you can eat buffet. If you 've never experienced it,..you 've missed something special. This visit wasdisappointing. The food and service were not on point. We will visit again, my hopes are they realize how much the buffet ismissed. I 'm getting ready to leave Chevy Chase, Maryland. I 'll talk to you all when I get settled. Stay safe all thetime,..everywhere.
This place was recommended by Tom Sietsama in the Washington Post; I was in the area so decided to check it out. Pizza is super soggy right out of the oven (I dined in so can't blame on it sitting in a to go pizza box). A Diet Pepsi with no refills cost$3.75 which seems excessive, especially when I asked for a Diet Coke and wasn't told that they didn't have it. Do notrecommend!!!!

We ordered the shrimp limone and calamari as appetizers, along with the mushroom truffle pizza. Everything was delicious. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the pleasant weather. We arrived early, so there were quite a few young families, which made it a bit noisy, but overall it was a lovely evening. The restaurant has a lot of charm and a nice atmosphere.
Pacci's all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch is legendary. As it's just starting back up again after Covid, I'm hoping that they just have some kinks to iron out. The food wasn't nearly as good as I remember, and the service was mediocre at best. It wasn't crowded at all, and our waiter barely stopped by. I haven't given up, and we will go back!
This charming restaurant gives you the impression of being miles away from DC. I'd love to return to try the pizza, but I found the pasta dishes a bit disappointing—too heavy and lacking in flavor despite being smothered in sauce.
Food was delicious. Carbonara and ravioli florentine. Especially liked that server told us about desserts not on the menu. Limoncello and mango gelato very refreshing. A great way to end the meal.

Appeals to couples as well as families looking for creative as well as basic Italian cuisine in a quaint repurposed post office. Doesn't get much better as a neighborhood gem.
