Couldn't recommend Pacino's enough! We had our end of year work christmas party there and the quality of food and friendly service was fantastic. They helped make our night great and even fired up the pizza oven again to make us a nutella pizza! Massive shout out to Elvis and the team, we'll be back.
Been here quite a few times and the food and service is high quality. The other night I came in and ordered the Meatballs and Calamari salad. The meals came in under 10 mins which was fantastic. The meatballs is the best Ive ever had, cooked to perfection. The calamari was soft and melts in your mouth and not chewy. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who has thought of going. I promise you wont be disappointed.
First time there beautiful place fully booked so u no it must be good. Was 7 of us meals came out quick and they were absolutely yummy definitely go again!
Best carbonara I have had eating out, the food tasted and looked fantastic! The staff where super friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere here was alive with happy chatter and smiling faces. If I ever come back to Melbourne, Pacinos will be the first place I visit.
Absolutely loved the meal and service we received tonight! We booked a late table of 7 and the team couldn’t have been more accommodating. We sat down to a super busy restaurant and were still offered drink service immediately. The food was bought out in good time and was absolutely incredible. Impeccable presentation from the restaurant to the waiters. We will be back!! DELICIOUS!! Thank you!
Always the best service, environment, food and coffee. You always know it will be a great experience at Pacinos. We have been meeting up here for years.
Top notch food. Been to Pacinos a million times. It's a great place to catch up with friends and family. I haven't had one bad meal, and drag my friends who don't live in the area to Pacinos for a feed. I am fairly regular. Almost part of the furniture. Friendly service. Just need to offer pizza delivery, and bring back Two Italian Boys wine.
Pacinos our go to place for great food. Family and friends all been and all love Pacino's. I have not been disappointed. The staff have always catered to any change or request we may have . We look forward to going again.

The family restaurant in Flemington where you can enjoy steaks, pizzas, grills and many more. They have quite a big seating area both inside and outside and it's perfect for large groups. They are located in Showgrounds Village Shopping Centre and parking is not an issue as there is parking around the restaurant if you’re driving and it is located in front of a tram stop which makes it handy if you’re taking public transport.
There is such a good variety on the menu and a large variety on the pizzas. We took awhile to decide what to get as we wanted to try abit of everything.
We went with the pizza, mixed grill, caesar salad, angus burgers and pasta. Could not even pick a favourite as the dishes were all great. Really enjoyed the salad and it complements the dish. The pizzas had a good amount of ingredients and the flavours were good. Don't forget to try their homemade gnocchi as I thought that was really good.
The portions of the dishes were good and can also be for sharing. The staff here is really friendly and attentive.
I have been a local at Pacinos for years now as they have always been very consistent in their food.

An unpretentious Italian restaurant that excels in what it’s doing, Pacino’s is well-loved by the locals and it’s not hard to see why. Here you can get pizzas, pastas, salads, seafood, BBQ meat, amongst others and the spacious space makes it excellent for big groups. With a relaxed and casual vibe, Pacino’s is a local restaurant that we all deserve in our life.
A feast awaited us here and I am hard-pressed to fault anything here. The Garlic Prawns was the highlight of the night. Big juicy king prawns in a creamy garlic sauce, this was incredible to say the least. The Mixed Grill is perfect for sharing, featuring tender and meaty cuts of pork ribs, lamb cutlets, pork sausages, chicken tenderloin, chorizo and beef skewers.
The Tandoori Chicken pizza, and Prosciutto Pizza hit the spot too. Crisped yet soft pizza base, with an even crispier crust, and very generous with toppings. The Gnocchi Bolognese was my favourite out of the three pastas that we tried – rich, thick and a beautiful depth of flavour. Even the Caesar Salad wowed with its creamy yet bright and tangy flavours.
With so much delicious food, we were left bursting at the seams, yet incredibly contented. Thank you for the meal.
Pacinos are known for their pizzas. This is my local gem for me. The pricing for pizzas are very cheap especially when you compare it to its quality and size.
The atmosphere is great. Very family welcome. Always loud (but not too loud) enough for you to talk and laugh.
If you want any pop reference I feels like it's the sex and the city's usual spot where the girls meet always.
The service always friendly. Very welcoming and attentive.
The only reason why I'm giving it a 4 stars, is because of prices for other food items. Pasta are around $25 (you can get largest pizza for $18) even Caesar salad price is at about $20+ but the food tastes great!
Got served by Catalina, good service goes above and beyond. Great food and atmosphere
Catalina (if I am spelling correctly) served us at our table, I was so indecisive and she went to great lengths to make sure she didn’t leave the table until I was completely happy with my order, what a great waitress she is, I hope to see her when I come back. Food is always great, such a great Italian restaurant at and affordable price!

Pacinos is a traditional Italian restaurant in Flemington. The venue is very spacious and the staff are all very friendly.
I loved the Arancini to start - they were very soft, moist and flavourful, and I couldn’t stop eating the pesto aioli! The Baked Scallops were also enjoyable too - the scallops were cooked nicely, although I did find the garlic butter to be quite heavy.
The Lamb CousCous was quite nice. I really liked the couscous paired with all the roast vegetables and the creamy yoghurt dressing. The lamb was quite overcooked though so it was quite chewy.
The Linguini Marinara came in a generous portion, with plenty of shellfish and pasta. It was cooked well and, although slightly on the oily side for me, it was still enjoyable.
For pizza, we tried the Rosemary and Potato pizza with added pumpkin (because we love pumpkin). This was my first time trying potato on pizza and it works surprisingly well! It’s not the best for the waistline (carbs on carbs), but the potatoes were cooked till soft and the caramelised onion gave a really nice hint of sweetness. The crust was crispy and thin which I liked.
Thank you for having us.

📍: Flemington
————————————————————
📝: Pacino’s Restaurant specializes in Australian-influenced Italian cuisine—primarily a pizza and pasta restaurant, but also specializing in seafood, grilled meat, parma’s, and much more.
❤️: All the pizzas here are house made, fresh to order. We opted for something different—Rosemary & Potato pizza, with mozzarella, bocconcini, caramelized onions, and extra pumpkin.
There’s also a range of pastas to choose from, including the Seafood Linguine Marinara that we loved.
For something a little different, we chose the Grilled Lamb Couscous with vegetables, pesto and yoghurt dressing. A taste of Italy fused with Victorian-sourced produce.
Food was good and service was amazing, but a major drawback was that all the dishes were really salty.
the ribs were fantastic 👍generally a very decent meal for the price 👍service is always good keep up the good work will definitely be back 🍻
Came for the parma night special - was more than satisfied with both the range and quality of the parmas offered. I ordered the Texan meatlovers parma with delicious sticky rib sauce that I ended up saturating the plate in. Portion size was decent, however chips were scarce, and also steer clear of the house red, it’s nasty. Warm and cosy atmosphere despite how busy it is, and also speedy dependable service. Will be back again!
Great food and good vegetarian/ vegan options.We enjoyed place, food and had an amazing family time!
We tried homemade Gnocchi, Rosemary Potato and Pumpkin Pizza. Must Try!!
Never disappoint with Pacinos! Their quality of food is amazing, whether I dine in or out, it's always fresh and high quality. Fantastic restaurant I love the food here.

Dinner with a friend was great here. Staff were quick to guide us to a seat and get us drinks. Then take our order. The menu is extensive with plenty of choices. We both shared a pizza and was pleasantly surprised by the size and amount of toppings. Dietaries are catered for - just chat to the staff. You can dine inside or out. I checked out the lunchtime offers and if I was in the area, I'd certainly come and have lunch here. The place is wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Be careful with parking - read the signs.
very good i like it good. some times may be good sometimes may be shit.i enjoyed there pasta and nachos. their zuchinni fritters were really good well.
3.5 Pacinos is an expansive casual eatery just around the corner from Flemington Racecourse and Melbourne Showgrounds. With parking right outside and plenty of choice on the menu, it’s...
Got the pumpkin pizza and vegetarian pizza with feta. Love the service here, very quick and theyre also always happy. Pumpkin pizza was really nice and same with the vegetarian pizza.
Pacinos is a great Italian restaurant when you just want a satisfying family meal without breaking the bank. Lots of food options for everyone and all at reasonable prices. The pork ribs are a must try! Would recommend!. Birra Moretti $9. Mussels $20 Sauteed with Tomato & Chilli and served with Bread
3.5 The homemade gnocchi was of particular note. Feather-light and delicate but yet rich and full of flavour. We loved that it had been lightly fried to have a crisp exterior and was tossed in a flavoursome mix of pumpkin, spinach, goats curd and balsamic reduction.
For mains the surf and turf is not to be missed and features a decadent plate of 300 gm Scotch fillet cooked to your liking topped with plump garlic prawns and scallops, all sitting atop a crunchy mountain of beer battered chips.
A great selection of food ranging from ribs, schnitzels, pizza and pasta. Have been a number of times with and without the family. Staff are also very friendly.
Will come back for:
+ Chicken Pharma
+ Ribs
+ Spaghetti Marinara
Pacinos is a family friendly Italian eatery, that serves generous portions of Italian fair. We popped by for dinner and was surprised that they had a $10 pharma deal going (Mondays), and ordered a couple to share. The pharnas were flavoursome and generous portions of really well cooked chicken (served with some salad). The ribs were tender, sticky and finger licking good. And the spaghetti marinara had generous portions of seafood tossed through well cooked pasta. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. No wonder the place was pumping with locals.
Quite a lovely place to have lunch- with excellent lunch specials including a glass of wine. We ordered calamari and chips, salmon and a salmon panini. Came to less that $40 including 2 glasses of wine. Food was well portioned and hit the spot. Will return.
The service from this place is absolutely top notch. We were greeted with a big smile from the boss when we came in & instantly felt welcomed. Originally the boss took our order but forgot to tell the kitchen, but he was extremely honest & apologetic to us by not charging us for the food. Really appreciate it, will return! Thanks heaps
Umm why haven’t I been to Pacinos earlier?? Pacinos delivered high quality dishes packed full of flavour with a modern spin on Italian food.
I ordered the chicken saltimbocca. The chicken melted in my mouth and was complimented by the salty and crispy prosciutto. The mash was creamy and super smooth and the sauce was like the “cherry on top”. I also highly recommend the Spanish risotto and rack of ribs.
Being a dessert lover, I insisted that we try the dessert despite being incredibly full and regretting my decision to wear tight jeans. However, I did not care if I lost circulation in my legs as the creme brûlée was worth it!! It had a thin sheet of golden, torched sugar that produced the “renowned crack” when the spoon hit the surface and underneath, was smooth and silky custard.
I’ll be back!!
Parma night is possibly the best meal and value for money you’ll get in Melbourne. I ordered the Mexican Parma and my friend got the meat lovers Parma with a side of mushroom gravy and bbq gravy. Both parmas were huge and delicious! I thought the sauces could have been a bit nicer but you can’t complain for $2. The restaurant was busy so recommend making a booking. Will definitely be returning.

I’ve been back here 3 times already in the last month and a half.
1st time I came here I had a full BBQ pork rib (not pictured) and oh my lordy lord it was the best ribs I’ve ever had. I dare say better than the meat and wine co. The meat just fell of the bones and the bbq rub - excuse me while I wipe the drool off my face while writing this. It was huge. Full rack of bbq ribs can easily be shared between two people and you’ll both walk away content n full. I ordered scallops on the side which were a bit of a let down. But the carbonara was a standout. I still crave it till this day. Of course we couldn’t finish it all and had to take away the pasta home.
2nd time I visited we got there at lunch time and tried food from the special lunch menu. The Mexican pizza was delicious, so as the Rigatoni Fungi. Schnitzel tasted real fresh but needed mushroom sauce on the side to be a bit tastier as it can be a bit plain.
3rd visit was last night. We came on $10 parma Monday’s. Such a huge selection to choose from! I got the English which was the standard ham, cheese & Napoli sauce. Partner got the Irish which had potato on it. Both really good and big servings. You have to pay $2 on top for either side chips or salad. We got the mushroom sauce and bbq rub on top which were great accompanies.
I would say this is my favourite family restaurant by far the food is absolutely amazing best Italian restaurant I have ever been too they have amazing specials like there Parma nights on Mondays I have taken many of my friends and family to try there food and they have fallen in love with their food like I have and the staff are very lovely and welcoming
My last visit was my 3rd time at Pacinos. Loved the lamb salad!!! Lamb was cooked perfectly to my liking and the dressing was so good. I've been on the parma nights before and it's best to book beforehand as they get quite busy.
One of my favorite local Italian restaurants. Decently priced for some absolutely quality food. Plenty of choice to cater to different tastes as well. Only criticism is the quality of service in regards to wait staff. So many of them yet so hard to get service??
Perfect Family Restaurant,
Customer service = 5/5
Value for money = 4/5
Taste = 5/5
Plus their $10 Parma Monday night is a must try. Please bring back the Mash potatoes for sides 😭
A very good all-round family restaurant in the Western suburbs. Have been here multiple times for dinner, and the food is always consistently good. I like their pizzas - a medium rather than thin base with lots of fillings. Pastas are ok. Ribs are very good, and although I haven't tried the steak personally, other family members have enjoyed it. The service is friendly and efficient.
Love their $10 parma Monday nights.
As expected, super busy, but heaps of seating for small and large-ish groups.
Heaps to choose from on the menu :)
Texas Meat Lovers Parma did not disappoint, Spanish Parma is the other favourite. Generous serve, good schnitzel.
It's a nice place to go. On Monday they have Parma night at $10. Pacino's is a nice solution if you Don't have a specific desire for dinner.

Second time back and bumped Pacinos from 4 stars to 5.
Ordered:
Calamari Fritti: Flash fried, served with chilli aioli ($18.00)
Arancini (v): Fried rice balls, with mozzarella, red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes & pesto aioli ($16.00)
BBQ Pork Ribs: USA cut BBQ Pork Ribs with house marinate, served with beer battered chips & green salad. Half rack ($33.00)
Rib Eye 330g Grain Fed: served with mash, veggies and mushroom sauce ($37.00)
Review:
Food was delicious, flavorful and filling even for the second time round.
With crunchy beer battered chips bedding the half rack of BBQ Pork Ribs, it was a toss between battling it out for the rack or for the chips itself.
Salad was fresh and dressing was a nice, fresh compliment to the overwhelming guilty pleasure of the BBQ half rack.
Steak was cooked perfectly and mash was a lovely soft complement. Mushroom sauce definitely hit the spot with that rich flavour. However, the greens they offered were a little plain and lackluster in comparison.
Dessert of sticky date pudding had me falling in love with the classic combination of a hot baked treat and the chill of cold vanilla icecream.
Absolutely no complaints. Service is friendly and food consistently great. A fantastic casual place to take friends to have a good night and delicious food!
Thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here . The staff were attentive and freidnly and the food was so good ! The pasta was a little bit thicker than I've had but I loved it so much , very rich in flavor and cooked al dente
Went here with the fam for a quick dinner. The place gets quite busy especially on mondays for the parma special! We ordered the super special pizza, linguini vongole and the mussels between three of us. Filling
The pizza had nice dough but was a little salty. Maybe too many olives
It was similar with the mussels . Nice but a little salty .
The pasta was really nice. Olive oil based and perfect seasoning.
Would come back for a nice quick dinner.
Good quality food and good value.
Take away options here are pretty premium, the staff are very friendly and helpful, I recommend dining in to get the most out of the experience.
Have been here several times with friends and family. Good atmosphere. Very nice staff. Pizzas, burgers, and pastas are very yummy. Will happily come back.
Worth every dollar. Delicious food in a great environment, a very well run restaurant!
Personal favourite is the mixed grill. Large portion with various types of quality meat that always fills me up.
Food is of high quality. Staff are fantastic. The place tends to get busy, but for good reason. Decor is trendy. Certainly one of those places I love going to with friends for a feed.
Definitely rate Pacinos!
Good food and service. Pizzas are always well proportioned, burgers with fresh ingredients etc etc. Definitely dine inside as located on a busy road.
Had the chicken parma, was pretty nice and came out fairly quickly. Service was lacking a little. There was a bit of a wait in between the other diners at the table receiving their food.
Good food and good service. Very well reasonably priced too.
Definitely one of the better breakfasts places, more so as a restaurant.
Decor is nice and place is located with ample parking immediately behind the place.
Definitely a favourite for a quick tasty bite to eat.
Service: 5/5
Steak: 5/5
I tried Lamb steak and it was one of the best steaks I have had. The service was the cherry on top. Will definitely come back.
Great place for family and friends to catch up over dinner or lunch! Been here several times and the atmosphere is great, staff are friendly and the most important thing is the food is excellent!! Scotch fillet steak was cooked to perfection, lots of juice and the garlic butter sauce was so delicious and flavoursome!! Definitely want to go back again!
We came to the restaurant expecting nice flavoursome Italian food, and that's what we got. The chicken in the risotto was a tad dry but that's the difficulty of cooking with chicken breast I guess. We were a table of 8 and we were extremely impressed that all the food came out at the same time. This doesn't happen all that often when you eat out. Overall good experience and good food, nothing that really stood out though and I'd probably only come again if I was in the area. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
I regularly go with my family to Pacino's as it is our local with delicious Italian food, quick and friendly service. It is a great place with lots of choice for kids (I would go with a 1, 2, 6 and 9 year old).
For dinner I do find that the food especially pizza is slightly more expensive than other places. However the quality of food is there and everything we get is delicious and tasty. So definitely worth the investment.
I love the home made Gnocchi and my husband enjoys the steak. Of course you cannot go past the pizza especially the nutella pizza which is my favourite.
The place is always busy and I recommend booking a table. It is loud and sometimes hard to talk. Overall I find the venue nice and cosy, definitely worth a visit.
Great service and very fast. Ordered the lasagna and scotch steak. The steak was cooked perfectly with a nice smokey flavour. The lasagna was really.meaty and the tomato sauce isn't too rich which is how I like it. Will definitely go here again and I can see why the restaurant is always full.
I only stopped in to grab a takeaway hot chocolate but WOW! The service was fast and the hot chocolate was perfect. No almond milk available but I won't hold that against them - I will be back!
Very busy during dinner time yet service was still prompt and friendly. We ordered two pizzas, a pasta and some fries. The chips were perfectly cooked-- not too crunchy and not too soft-- and the aioli sauce was a nice plus. The pasta was quite flavoursome and the pizzas were authentic and freshly made; we enjoyed everything! Pacinos is conveniently located close to the Showgrounds, I'd recommend it for sure if you're in the area.
Love this place! The service is always exceptional and the food is great. A lot of things to chose from on their menu and everything I have tasted from pizza to pasta has tasted amazing.
A really nice restaurant to take the family. Service was quick and all 8 guests said their meals were delicious. If you take seniors the portions are large so light eaters may benefit from sharing a main.
The food that pacinos serve is excellent, I don't think you can get disappointed in what dish you choose.
I love there pizzas, pastas and $10 Monday parmas with a variety of toppings to choose from.
Service is good and attentive.
The only thing that stops us from coming here often is the price on the main meals, $24 is quite pricey for a carbonara, even lygon street provides affordable pasta that is from their home town.
The chicken parmigiana was $25, again pricey for what it is, tasted quite regular.
We only come here when we're pretty desperate unless it's a Monday, we'd order the $10 parmas then.
I really like their carbonara, however, the egg in the dish was a little overcooked and their was quite a lot of salt in the dish.
Take your lover, friends and family here for great Italian food, however not too often as your wallet will be missing.
DINNER
Love this place, it's always packed and for good reason. There's a massive menu, they are clean, anyone can eat here. It's not super classy but it's so good it doesn't really matter. And even though they are busy the meals come out super fast and taste super good. Great work, go here I'll be coming back to this place.
Lamb back strap with roast veggies, cous cous and yoghurt. Seriously could not fault this. Absolutely sensational. My partner's parma was just as good, but maybe with a few more chips 😀
Had a parma on parma night.
On order; garlic bread, a South Yarra parma, a Mexican parma, and a Spanish parma.
First of all, they got one of my order wrong but was quickly replaced within the next 10 minutes or so. Pacinos staff handled this ordeal well.
The garlic bread was phenomenal. Soft and aromatic. The moment Pacinos starts to seek their garlic bread, I'd stock half my fridge with it. Would've eaten more but gotta make space for the parma.
The parmas themselves had some inconsistency. The Mexican was drier and had more darkened portions than the other two. The (re-ordered) South Yarra was better than the other two as well. However it was generally a nice feed well worth the visit. I paid $41 in total for 3 and went home full.
I'd love to try their pizzas in my next visit.
For a quick, fast and tasty meal Pacinos is a great local venue. We've been twice. Both times service was quick & friendly; good selection of food- fresh, well prepared and tasty. Staff are friendly & efficient. I'll 'fess up - I promised 5 star rating if they split the bill for me. They did (yay!). The bottom line is 'Would I eat there again?' Of course! If you are a true gastronome - and you truly live by the 5 Star system- look elsewhere. If you want a good honest feed -Pacinos is a pleasant dining experience.
Family friendly restaurant that seems to always be busy. I've dined here a few times. Their schnitzel night is pretty good. I occasionally order pizza from here and it's very good value
Tried out this place as I had won the Melb food baby giveaway for the special easter pizza and it was absolutely amazing!! 😍😍 Not only was the easter pizza filled with generously added nutella and all these amazing sweets, our mains that we ordered, the lamb salad, mushroom and chicken risotto, and half margherita and half Pacinos special pizza were all on point! 👌🏼👌🏼 Although I live quite far from Flemington, it was worth the 50 minute drive there! 😊👍👍
Book in advance for parmi (sorry Melbournians, Geelong born & raised) night!
Have been here a small handful of times with friends for international parmi night as it's priced decently and food is generally pretty prompt. Food is accurately priced, nothing super special, just a stock standard Italian themed pub (not a bad thing).
Came here last Sunday for a quick lunch before heading down the road to Cirque Du Soleil. I ordered the salt and pepper calamari which was tender and tasty. Partner had a chicken bbq pizza which he liked. The order came out within 12 minutes. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
Pacinos had a great family feel from the minute we walked in the door. The staff were great, friendly and fast to serve us. The food was fantastic! We shared mussels, bread and dips for entre and the full rack ribs for main which were cooked perfectly, then finished with creme brulee for dessert. We walked out totally satisfied! We will definitely be back again.
Had the impression that this place was a relatively cheap family restaurant that provided mediocre food. It wasn't that cheap but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the produce. The veal saltimbocca was very good as was the special barramundi. The service was very good and cheap corkage for byo wine was a bonus. In addition, the affogato was excellent value. If you have an entertainment card, even better. The restaurant is big and noisy so not ideal for a group however, for a couple this was not an issue. Overall, very satisfied customers.
We came here for dinner before going to the circus down the road, and we were not disappointed! We arrived at 6pm, and by 6.30pm the place was absolutely packed - on Tuesday! We ordered the garlic bread to share, a meat lovers pizza and Moreton bay bug risotto special. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely return!
I discovered PACINOS via a couple of great Pics I’ve stumbled on , on instagram , and when i saw the limited edition ‘ TWIX NUTTELLA PIZZA’ that they’re .. i ran there , good thing its pretty close to my Home 😜. they will be doing 250 of them exactly , we personally got number 48 !
Great service, great family atmosphere. More importantly great food and lot of them! We have full rack of ribs, mixed grill and pizza. All dishes were great but if you can only order not dish, go for ribs and you will be smiling afterward.
What is not to love about Pacino's? I couldn't fault anything on my very first visit (and definitely not the last) Staff was prompt, food came out all together after waiting a short time, the food that was ordered tasted and looked the way they should top marks go to the pork ribs, scotch fillet, pizzas and burgers (actually that was everything). And prices were fantastic for the quality and decent portion sizes too, I cannot see myself stepping into any La Porchetta style restaurants from now on. I can't wait to return for more ribs and sample the pastas.
Great tasting food. Value for money. Big serves. We usually share the entrees - I like them all. Love the ribs and pizza. Food comes out quick - even when they are busy. It's a well managed restaurant. Staff friendly. Usually packed. Large space to accommodate big groups. They have seats outside - great for summer days. I'm always w kids or teenagers when I'm there. They love it

My boyfriend and I went here yesterday after our first exam! We went there several minutes after it opened and we were seated straight away. The variety of meals they had on their menu sounded pretty damn amazing! I also loved how they have amazing lunch deals as well! My boyfriend and I decided to eat the garlic bread, the angus burger with no tomato, and a chicken and mushroom risotto!
We asked for the garlic bread to come out first. As stated on their menu, their garlic bread was definitely homemade! The bread was crispy but still very soft in the middle! The ratio of garlic butter and bread was just right and absolutely flavoursome!
About 10 or so minutes later, we got our mains. My risotto was absolutely perfect. The rice was cooked really well with a slight bite to it, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the mushroom flavour really wad prominent in the whole dish! I wish I was able to finish it, but there was a lot on the plate! I tried my boyfriend's burger, and it was pretty good, but the relish may have overpowered slightly. The chips were absolutely nice, crunchy, and had an amazing brown colour to it!
Overall, the place was really lovely in general! I love the homely atmosphere. The prices are just right for the generous portions you get for your meals! My boyfriend and I would definitely go back again one day again to try different things!

Mixed grill and smoked salmon salad for dinner tonight!
The mixed grill was packed with great tasting meats! I loved the ribs - so juicy and tender. And the chicken was flavoured nicely, although a bit on the dry side. All the other meats (lamb, chorizo etc) were delectable.
The smoked salmon was pretty straightforward. I appreciated how fresh the salmon seemed, and there was a generous amount of it for the salad!

Came here to Pacino's with a good friend who recommended me to try this place out. It's conveniently located on a main road - Epsom Road with plenty of parking space next to it.
The outside looked pretty nice - obvious that it's a restaurant, when I walked in all I could smell was pizza and saw smiling staff members. Immediately I felt great to be there and was greeted by the man at the cash register. The restaurant was spacious with higher ceilings and the tables well spaced out for ample room to walk around.
When I sat down at the table they asked what drinks I would like - this is good as at some restaurants they wait for you to ask for drinks. My friend requested to move tables because it was cold where we were seated and the request was granted. It was after busy times, so there was a lot of people leaving.
We ordered scallops, chips, aranchini balls and a smoked salmon pizza. The person serving us was very friendly and had a genuine smile on his face.
The scallops were so tasty, I was expecting the sauce in the shell to be thicker however it was more watery, but it didn't matter because the flavour was great. The chips were pretty good and the arancini balls had a good hit of flavour despite their small size. The smoked salmon pizza didn't have much on it in terms of topping but the crust was pretty good.
The cost of the food was a bit pricey compared to taste and quantity, but nonetheless, you're paying for the great service as well. I was even allowed to takeaway what I couldn't finish eating, so thanks for that! Can't let food go to waste.
Kudos to the team for letting us stay for a bit longer after closing time!
TLDR; Overall, great customer service and welcoming atmosphere, pretty decent food but a bit pricey for what they're worth and would come back again to try the Nutella/Oreo pizza!
Edit: Came back for the Nutella pizza, it was great, heaps of Nutella just as requested by RazTaleb. (View photo)
Great place to eat - reasonable pricing and big portions. We got the bruschetta, seafood pasta and a pizza - all super delicious and we were so full by the end of it. They also provided takeaway containers so we could enjoy it the next day. Staff super friendly as well!
Wonderful family restaurant to dine at. Staff were very attentive and service was great! We had a booking for 16ppl and the food was delicious. Some of the best pasta I've had in a long time. It was to celebrate my dad's birthday and we were able to bring our own cake without charge. Five stars from me and will DEFINITELY be back!
Had been wanting to try this one for a long time. Went there for a late lunch. Not too crowded because of the odd hours and the food came quick. Staff was great and food was alright. Might have to come again to try a few different things
The restaurant is family friendly, reasonable prices, staff are very friendly and helpful. My family was here for Monday night Parma $12 plus side extra $2. The Parma is very big serve can serve two people. Taste good.
Their pizzas is delicious my kids love it.
Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend this place. I have gone multiple times and have never been disappointed.
When I first tried here I thought the prices might have been higher than I'd like but I got way more food than I expected and it tastes incredible.
The owner has always been welcoming, and adjust food as needed for dietary requirements.
If you are looking for the most authentic Italian food, restaurant and food, then eat here.
Beautiful place, staff really friendly and attentive. Music is so fitting, really good atmosphere! Food yummy ! Vito, I'm guessing the owner, very friendly and remembered my name when I came back.
Some of the best pizza I've had while in Melbourne. They where sadly quite empty at the time we went. I hope they get more customers really nice place.
