The atmosphere is cosy and intimate, perfect for a relaxed dinner. Great value for money too; our whole meal with drinks came to under £45. Can't wait to come back - highly recommend booking in advance!

I found this restaurant at the last minute and boy am I glad we did!…read more We arrived at around 7:45 and the place was packed. The hostess told us we likely wouldn't sit until 9:45 so I inquired about the bar and the manager quickly stepped in to put us on a waitlist. Since the restaurant is connected to a food hall of sorts, she recommended we grab a drink there while we wait. Shortly after we got our drink, we received notification of an opening and were seated by 8:15. We had the burrata appetizer, Ragú x 2, and the seafood fra diavolo. The burrata was one of the best I've had since they serve it with pesto, pine nuts, and garlic bread. It was truly divine! The Ragú was not far behind. Incredible flavor and a generous portion. The seafood dish had a nice kick and had plenty of seafood, which is not common as of late. All dishes were also priced reasonably for the quality you received. As we sat at the bar, we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and finished our meal with a small cannoli that really sealed the deal. If you're looking for excellent Italian food in DC without breaking the bank, look no further than Caruso's grocery! However, I'd recommend reserving ahead of time because it's certainly not a secret. LOL

We we sat down the waitress was very friendly and welcoming. She knew alot about the menu items and such. As soon as she handed me the wine menu and saw Chianti as one of the wines, I didnt hesitate to get a bottle for the table (I love Chianti with a story behind it). We ordered the Creamy Burrata, with Grilled Bread and four cheese sauce and the calamari for the appitizers. All of the appetizers were amazing and Im a sucker for grilled crushy bread. For the main course i ordered the Trout Piccata. The fish was cooked to perfection and the veggies were well seasoned. My friends ordered the chicken piccata, Caruso Alfredo and baked Cavatelli. Everything was good. Next up we ordered the butterfinger sundae, Nutella cannoli and tiramisu. The sundae base is chocolate ice cream. If you are fan of chocolate ice cream you will love the sundae. Overall great experience and I will definitely return!

Our waiter did that. I asked for recommendations and he explained everything on the menu to us. Then I asked a specific question about a dish and he knew the answer immediately. He also gave us specials. I got the Orecchiette e Salsiccia -- Rapini shells with sausage. I loved it. Someone else my table got the special -- pasta with steak. The steak was cooked PERFECTLY and was wonderful. Overall, I loved Pacci's. It has a laid back family vibe yet the food is fantastic. One more thing: the neighborhood Pacci's is in is beautiful. Pacci's itself is in a very rustic nice building, right across from many beautifully painted rowhomes and brownstones.

The Owner Kenny as I've read on certain reviews! was helpful and very patient on my indecisive approach to my ordering situation.

(Made the Italian way with marina minus Mayo) even upon taking that order he was taken back but like okay then!! . The ambiance is chill it's 4 tables inside to sit or walk up and order!. I'm so happy I found Welch's Grape soda!!! I've searched everywhere since they discontinued even as far as PA so I & Kenny had a laugh about that! He was genuinely cool and greets you immediately..... THE FLAVORS THO!!! the pizza had REAL sausage not a meatball, not chopped in chunks but a authentic sausage with a little kick classic the back in the day like The Italian Inn in Landover (IYKYK!!!!) all the ingredients delicious down to the thin but satisfying crusts! it's a semi- thin but you can taste every individual ingredient for certain!!!... The Chicken Cheesesteak was very flavorful and phenomenal. This is a Hidden Gem indeed that I will hands down come back to!!! ... I think a commenter said!

As soon as we arrived for our reservation and sat down, we were wished happy anniversary by the hostess and our waitress. For cocktails, my wife got a cantaloupe cobbler and I got the pornstar martini without the caviar. Both drinks were great, we ended up sharing another cantaloupe cobbler since that's a drink we've never seen before. For food, we shared the cesare salad and the famous lasagna. The cesare salad was really good with the absolute perfect amount of Parmesan cheese. We really enjoyed it but next time we come we'd try other things. Now for the lasagna. It was absolutely incredible. As we were eating it, we were joking of ordering another one just after our first bite. It was the best lasagna we've ever had and I've had some pretty great lasagna before. For dessert, we shared the vanilla and cantaloupe swirl ice cream. It was amazing. The cantaloupe was so different and just such a great idea especially for the summer. They also brought out a mini chocolate mouse cake with a candle in it and a card for our anniversary. I'm not much for cake but this was light and decadent. It was a very sweet thing for the restaurant to do. We cannot wait for our next time back in DC to come back here. It is a must try.
