Pacinos Italian Restaurant

Excellent service by the serving staff, very prompt and helpful. We had the the Chargrilled Octopus as Entree, Spaghetti Meatballs and Sweet Potato Gnocchi. The Chargrilled Octopus was lovely and soft with a slight crunch. It was serviced with a tomato sauce and rocket and lime. Over all it was quite nice but lacking a punch to it. I had the Spaghetti Meatballs (over the lobster ravioli which looked quite small in portion size). The Meatballs were massive served with tomato and garlic sauce with Spaghetti. The portion size was quite large (as you can see in the photos) and so were the Meatballs however I think a little bit more herbs and flavour in the Meatballs would have enhanced the dish. My partner had the sweet potato gnocchi. The gnocchi was soft and delicious, serves in a scrumptious tomato and cheese sauce. The sauce was packed with beautiful flavours which balanced out the gnocchi quite well. Overall, we really enjoyed out meals at Pacino's, the atmosphere was lovely, food was delicious however lacking the wow factor.

I went to Pacino's on Monday night and it was a busy evening with a large group of 30+ people booked in, as well as other patrons and takeout orders. When I arrived, a staff member had gone home sick and I was offered a seat at the bar instead of sitting outside. This gave me a chance to see first-hand how the staff handled the situation, and they were truly amazing. A young woman who seemed to be the manager, along with the rest of the staff, managed everything with professionalism, communication, and a calm attitude. Despite the group pre-selecting wines, everything changed when they arrived, but the staff and manager handled it seamlessly. The hardworking staff, including the kitchen team, deserve congratulations and a bonus. Anyone who thinks hospitality is unskilled should reconsider. The food and wine were also exceptional. Well done to the whole team!

The restaurant is located right next to the river and boasts a stunning view. The service is excellent and the menu offers a wide variety of amazing dishes.

Really really good. If you're in Rocky, its a must do if you want to have a nice meal. Italian wine doesn't miss either. Highly recommend the Lamb Rack.

Beautiful restaurant in a beauy location in Rockhampton near the river. The food was amazing and staff were attentive and caring. Price was a little high for what you got but 1st rate restaurant. Would definitely recommend for a special night out.
