Pollo Al Marsala
Melissa S.

The chicken marsala was SO good. Service was great and they were very sweet with our toddler. We asked if there was a kids menu (there isn't) but they were kind enough to make her some buttered noodles. It was $9 which seemed slightly pricey for a kid's buttered noodles but she gobbled them up so, still worth it. I like that it's casual enough for families but still formal enough for a date night. Great neighborhood spot!

About a 2-2.5: Pacci's Trattoria has 2 locations - one in Silver Spring, and this location in Capitol Hill. Their menu offers Neapolitan pizza, pastas, and regional seafood and meat entrees. We came here for a working lunch, and we ordered: +Calamari Fritti - served with tomato sauce and lemon; the batter was light, and I loved that they had a lot of the 'legs'! +Eggplant Fritti with Burrata - large slices of fried eggplant, topped with tomato sauce and lemon aioli; the eggplant was mushy, but the burrata was a nice touch +Cheese Tortellini - prepared with mushrooms, spinach, artichokes, shaved Parm, and black pepper; we added salmon to this; they outsource the tortellini +the Creamy Tuscan Ravioli - prepared with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, white wine, cream, and shaved Parm with lemon; we added shrimp to this; they outsource the ravioli +and, the Blackened Chicken Linguine - a cajun-seasoned chicken breast on top of housemade linguine, dressed in a garlic Parm cream; the chicken was a bit overcooked and dried out; the sauce was great, but could have been more generous in the amount Service was friendly, and the place itself is cute and intimate; it's dim-lit, and there are also a few tables outside for those who would like to have an al fresco experience. Limited street parking can be found in the area. +lots of 'legs' in the calamari +friendly service +limited street parking available

Barramundi with garlic spaghetti and capers (special)
Chris R.

Everybody working at Pacci's was warm and welcoming. The dining room is small and cozy in scale and the bar offers a good option for people who are just there for a drink or dining alone and prefer not being at a table alone. Right now, in May of 2025, the bar is not actually able to be used for serve alcohol but they are working on getting their liquor license issues sorted out. For dinner i had a barramundi piccata dish with garlic spaghetti. It was straight up fantastic and my favorite meal of the 3 days I spent in DC. Crispy skin fried fish is such a frequently discussed issue on cooking reality shows I wonder if it's a near universal goal for chefs but in any case, ACTUALLY serving crispy skin fish on a steaming plate of hot pasta is not easy but they nailed it. My take away from this visit would be that you don't need to go downtown to get a memorable Italian meal and the relaxed family friendly atmosphere of Pacci's is a welcome break from the stress of DC.

Lobster Ravioli
Katie H.

The restaurant is a smaller Italian place. There is some seating on the main level, but they also have an upstairs. It feels classic home style Italian inside. We sat outside at a table under an umbrella. When we got there and sat down it was windy, but beautiful. Right after our food came it started down pouring! Sideways rain came crashing down. Luckily, unlike the other customers we had an umbrella at our table and avoided getting wet. They still checked on us multiple times to make sure that we were okay outside. The service was friendly and they were there when we needed them, but didn't hover. The food was amazing. I got the chefs special which was the lobster ravioli with a crab and shrimp saffron cream sauce. I don't even care for lobster and thought it was SO GOOD. It was really well prepared. I also got the caprese to start and it was probably one of the best I have ever had. The flavors were amazing. I ended my meal with a cannoli and OMG. It was so hard to stop eating it (I didn't lol). They didn't have their liquor license at the time we visited, which they called and told us about ahead of time to make sure we didn't want to cancel our reservation. It was nice of them to give us a heads up. Instead of alcohol, I got a cappuccino and it was tasty. I would 100% go back again to try more dishes. I am sad I don't live here so I could try them all!!

Poverella pizza
Alexis C.

Vibe: 6/10 - cute inside, but the staff was having a staff meeting during the whole time we were there (on a Saturday night! Strange) Service: 5/10 Value: 5/10 Poverella pizza: 3.5/10 - we found the pizza to be a soggy and overly salty Gnocchi: 5/10 Overall: 4.9/10 (2.45/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical]

Charcuterie (lunch portion)
Amy S.

My daughter and I ate a late lunch here on our big adventure from Nova to DC. I was on the hunt for a compromise restaurant that had a pepperoni and meatball pizza and items I was interested in. I had my eye on the charcuterie appetizer, which the waiter said was big enough for 4, so he asked the chef if I could get a smaller portion and he created a lunch size! The service made our lunch special. My daughter devoured her pizza before I got a picture, but she especially enjoyed the thick big pieces of meatballs and pepperoni - plenty of toppings. My charcuterie was beautifully presented but seemed to have oil over the cheese and meats which I didn't care for (personal preference). I'd love to bring my husband here for a date night someday.

I went to Pacci for the first time with an organization I'm part of. I unfortunately arrived late due to differing circumstances. One thing I've noticed was that the online menu was very different than the physical menu at the restaurant, which threw me off because I told my colleagues to place an order for me. Luckily, I was able to stop my order from being placed & waited until I got there for my main. I finally arrived & placed my entree order. The dish itself was pretty decent but not the best I've ever had unfortunately. The Octopus (appetizer), while a little pricey, had no dressing for the side salad that came with it. Just a lemon wedge. I found it to be odd. The chicken & mushroom (I think Chicken Marsala) dish was okay too, but not impressive. I will say that it was very filling & I took the other half home. The tiramasu is fantastic & I'd definitely order it again. I wouldn't mind exploring the menu again & the ambiance especially upstairs, seem to be that of a date night. It's not loud so that's good. I am unsure if the restaurant is metro accessible.

Beet salad
Nancy M.

Amazing dinner! Service was great, the place is super cute (and maybe larger than I realize?), and the meal was delicious. Started with the beet salad that was really good and refreshing. The bruschetta was fantastic, a classic. I ordered the gnocchi and it was the table's favorite. Wow, soooo good. The flavor, the texture...dare I say the best gnocchi I've had? Definitely want to go back and try other dishes.

Wild Boar Tagliatelle (wo Capers)
Doug B.

Two visits here. Both were great experiences while sitting at the bar. Today, I had the Pacci Salad, Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Chocolate Cake. Before this, I also had the Pacci Salad, Wild Boar Tagliatelle, and the Limoncello Cake. Great meals...all three courses were superb. I'm a big fan of their Paccie Salad. Lots of good ingredients. I like the Wild Boar best of all on the menu. The Spaghetti and Meatballs were tasty. The meatballs were especially good. ** As a tip, most dishes come with the Parmesan cheese already on top. I'm not a big fan of this, so this time, I asked for it on the side. That's now my go-to ask. Great desserts here. The Mousse and Limoncello Cake are fantastic. The Chocolate Cake was good. All of them are really enormous. Such a good spot. Definitely give them a try.

Pacci's Bread
Fabiola S.

Good ole Yelp helped me find this restaurant. My friend really wanted to go to Olive Garden, so I did her one better and chose this authentic Italian restaurant. It is definitely a neighborhood spot and it was busy the entire time we were there. I was able to make a reservation same day in the afternoon. The food was amazing. Service was stellar. I will definitely come back &&&& happy hour is 2:30-5:30 Tuesday - Friday! Love that start time - it keeps teachers and WFH people in mind. Not to mention people who want to eat dinner before it's pitch black out!

Vibes in there are perfect - like an old style Italian homey restaurant. Service took a little while but they were also busy.

The waitress I had was so sweet and their guest service coordinator constantly checked in with a warm attitude. I got the focaccia and was between the girasoli and spaghetti pomodoro. I am so glad I went with my waitresses recommendation and got the girasoli! It was unlike any pasta I've ever had. Similar to a ravioli, but has a veggie puree opposed to cheese on the inside. The leek and lettuce within the lemon butter sauce was to die for, and the girasoli itself was pleasant and unforgettable. The focaccia was also SO FLUFFY. The outer crust was not too crunchy and just right. The inside is so glamorous but also feels Italian. Very clean, nice and spread out, and overall a fabulous vibe.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to while I lived in DC, because to be honest, I never got in an Italian mood. Now that I no longer reside in the DC area, I use every visit to eat my faves and occasionally a new spot. So, after another popular (and cheaper) Italian place closed before I could finish my delivery order, I spotted L'Ardente. I ordered the famous Lasagna - their 40-layer specialty - with short rib sugo, truffle mornay, and Sottocenere Cheese. The truffle mornay added a smooth, melty, creamy cheese sauce. It is good, but I am not sure if it is worth the hype at $40 lagnasa. I think the cost is built into the work but not the flavor profile. I think the meal is better without the sauce - it made it too salty with it.

Martini Hour alert!…read more First, I think that the martini hour is absolutely genius! It runs from 5-7pm and the selections of martinis were perfect. Ambiance: the restaurant is beautiful but note that martini hour takes place in a small bar area with limited seats. Nonetheless, you can grab a few friends and make this a moment as you enjoy those perfect martini selections. Bites: there weren't much to eat at martini hour so we moved to the general area afterwards to enjoy some food. Service: the staff was amazing and very accommodating. Shoutout to Nesto, the best bartender around! Martinis: Morini Martini: I absolutely love this drink. It was crisp, refreshing, and had a little bold flavors from the white pepper. I absolutely loved this drink and would get it again Sicilian Martini: another fav! Think summer time refreshing with a hint of sweet and citrus burst from the mandarin and lemon Espresso Martini: this drink was another great selection. Freshly brewed and perfectly prepared. I loved it Least favorite: Cala Rossa. I only disliked the drink because it was very sugary and I don't really enjoy sugary drinks. Food: Rigatoni: this dish was divine! And quick note, the smaller plates were perfect serving sizes. But back to the dish. The pasta was cooked al dente and the lamb ragu was soooooooooooooo good! No seriously, it was absolutely divine. Perfectly seasoned and rich in flavors. Other members of my party enjoyed their dishes: Cappelletti and Paccheri Alla Norma, both were described as absolutely perfect.
