Pacci features classic Napolitano pizza and has a nice selection of Italian pastas and salads. While it can get busy (and has modest parking), is tucked away (outside of any town center) and has become a popular off the beaten path spot. PRO TIP: Any salad and La Diavola pizza will make you smile. read more

Pacci's Trattoria & Pasticceria - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday with the kids. We loved that we went on Sunday during brunch because it provided more menu options, in case the kids didn't want pasta. The kids had pancakes, eggs and bacon, which they thoroughly enjoyed. I had the shrimp scampi and asked to add the Alfredo sauce to it. It was amazing. Hubby had the mushroom pasta, which he also finished. Our server was very attentive, as were the rest of the staff if we needed anything. Such a cute spot that's made for family dining! read more

Pacci's Trattoria & Pasticceria - Italian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Cute little place tucked away in Silver Spring. There are two lots on either side which is so nice to have (compared to DC places with street parking only). Came here to celebrate a birthday. Our server was okay. I wish she was more enthused and gave more of a hearty recommendation for what to get, but it's also been such a rough year and later in the evening and a personal preference. The bread was okay. Some place have amazing bread but this bread was okay. The margharita pizza and spaghetti in red sauce we shared were pretty good! Definitely satisfactory. Portion was good as well. Nobody left hungry. We got two tiramisu between three, but one would've been enough (hence wishing server could give more description). Would come back again when craving Italian! read more

I love this place. It's a hidden gem for delicious food! The service and ambiance of the location is awesome. My friend showed me this place and I have showed others. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it and a great spot for dinner with friends. read more

We went there twice last week once for brunch and the other time for a birthday dinner. I will start with the brunch. There's a lot of options to choose from and it is a high-quality food. The price is fair, but I will say there's a lot of other branches around the same price range to go to. We enjoyed the desserts, mini cheesecakes and my favorite was the crab legs that they offered. It was not very busy. We were in a back room that was very cold and asked to increase the temperature once that took place. It was much more tolerable. Then five days later we went back with Seven of us for dinner. I will say the food is consistently fresh, and good. our waiter and waitresses have always been very friendly. I highly recommend the margarita pizza with meatballs. My family liked the Caesar salad which they split two orders. We had two orders of pizza and one order of fried mozzarella. they really like the mozzarella fried I ordered the chicken milenase breaded with red sauce. I will say the chicken Marcela is to die for. You can't leave without getting a cannoli or the tartufo, both excellent highly recommend going. read more

Pacci's Trattoria is a solid, moderately priced family-friendly Italian restaurant. Our party of six had a table in a nice nook between the front and back of the restaurant. Our meal started with different breads, including my favorite - their homemade, freshly baked focaccia. (It went so quickly, I had only time for one pic!) My entree, the Tagliatelle Alla Boscaiola's sauce included sausage, mushrooms, parmesan, and black pepper in a cream sauce. My only wish would be that they offer additional pepper freshly ground at the table, since its flavors were muted. That being said, the staff was friendly as well as responsive, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Note - Pacci's offers military discounts. read more

We've been in on occasion but have also ordered delivery, which to be fair is not the presentation method that these excellent folks would prefer. However, even at delivery the textures and tastes, & even the temperature are perfect and delicious. Premium produce & spices, pastas, meats, cheeses, and bread lead to a wonderful experience, even if you're eating on your own plates at home. It's the taste you didn't know you were missing especially as a treat/reward at the end of a long week. Try anything on the menu without fear, you'll be glad. read more

Overall I had a great time here. I came here for my birthday. We ordered the mushroom ravioli, il padrino and poveralla. Pizzas were okay but the pasta was amazing. Cocktails were also nice and refreshing. I'd definitely come back for the pasta. Ambiance is cute cute date night but it's also good for groups. There's parking as well. read more

Extremely expensive for subpar greasy food. The staff is somewhat offish, as in not very friendly and uppity. It's in an old building that could some deep cleaning and updating. read more

Enjoyed a homemade meal here. The appetizer Pacci bread was quite tasty, is made of their pizza crust which is delicious and didn't detract from having pizza for the main entree. The pizza had that amazing crust with fresh sauce, I thought there could have been more flavor, I had to add some salt, paprika which I never do to pizza. The service could also be more attentive, we ran out of water several times and had to stop someone to ask for refills. The Nutella pizza for desert was good but could have used something extra on top to crest some opposing textures or flavors. Local Italian spot fun for a visit. read more

I was not impressed by the food or service at this location. The eggplant fritti appetizer was decent but the server only provided one plate even though we said we wanted to split it. We ended up taking a second plate off a nearby table because the waiter showed no signs of returning while the appetizer was hot. The bread was no better than italian bread from a grocery store. Our pizzas were disappointing. The Verace pizza was bland, oily, and extremely flimsy. The crust was pretty good but not enough to justify the price. We had to ask for a water refill several times before a waiter finally helped us. The restaurant interior is cute. As many orher reviewers have pointed out, parking is very limited and tricky. I'm glad I tried it, but don't plan on returning. read more

I ordered the chicken parm sub and noted that most of it was dry and underwhelming. However, one of the cutlets was so moist, it could be cut with a fork. The bread was not great, but edible. The real disappointment was the price for the meal. The cost of the meal was simply too high, which may have contributed to my negative experience. Overall, the chicken parm sub did not meet my expectations. The service was friendly and prompt. My server allowed me to spice up the chicken parm sauce, which was a nice touch. The ambiance was reminiscent of a small neighborhood cafe and I really enjoyable. I still say give them a try. Maybe it was an off day. I will go back. read more

I've been a regular there but the last few times, after asking for my pizza "well done" and extra crispy, except for the outer crust, it's brought back to the table just as floppy as before. Today I decided to send it back to the oven and specified exactly how I'd like it but when the server brought it back to the table it was exactly the same: soft and floppy not at all crispy and crunchy. I hope Pacci's reads their Yelp reviews because, as I said, I'm a regular there and although I love the host and servers, the pizza chef really needs to know the definition of "crispy." read more

UPDATE THE HOURS ON YOUR ONLINE LISTING!!! We went out of our way to have a late afternoon (early) dinner. The online listing clearly states that the restaurant is open all day, until late into the evening. When we showed up, though, around 4:00 - 4:15 pm, the restaurant was locked tight. The sign on the front door states that the place is closed from 2:30 - 5:00. Those of us who check your business hours online before visiting SHOULD NOT BE GREETED BY A LOCKED DOOR SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO UPDATE YOUR ONLINE LISTING. read more

Tried their Sunday brunch buffet and it was underwhelming. The service is nice, great ambiance, but the food was not great. The eggplant lasagna had undercooked eggplant that was chewy. The seafood stew had extremely over cooked shrimp and mussels. The deserts were either old or had been sitting out for so long that they had dried out. The best thing there was their omelette bar. It's not worth the per person price. I would give them another chance to try their dinner menu but I would not recommend their brunch buffet to anyone. read more

Terrific food. First had calamari, then the wonderful Margherita pizza, and then finished with cannoli and cappuccino. All excellent and surrounded by a cozy quiet restaurant setting. read more

I have been going to Pacci's Trattoria ever since they first opened. The price points are competitive for the quality of the food served. The food is excellent, the servers are friendly and quite competent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a family friendly, informal vibe, Italian restaurant. If you are looking for a Sunday buffet, drop by Pacci's Trattoria for their Sunday buffet brunch.....10:30 am to 2:30 pm. Nice food variety to try and enjoy. read more

Everything went very well.The food amazing ,the service excellent. I even fell in love!!!

I love this spot. I think it's the ambiance here and location. It looks like a cute little cottage house. Parking can be a little overwhelming for a first timer. There's parking right in front of the restaurant but usually packed. However there is additional parking beside the restaurant, towards the back. It really depends who your server is. I've been here a few times and have brought different family members because I really enjoy the food. Some servers are super friendly, others are there just to get you in and out. However, never had a bad plate or any issues with the food. If it's super busy, be sure to ask for everything you need, salt/pepper, additional utensils, sauces, etc because you may not see your server for a bit. The food is amazing. Every dish I've had has been phenomenal. It's hard to find good Italian food but this is it. It's a hidden gem because where it's located, I would have never thought to find food there. It's past the forest Glen metro station, if you're familiar with Montgomery county. And near a super busy intersection, I think that's why it may get missed. I've always drove past it and I'm so happy I finally stopped on in. read more

A hidden gem in Silver Spring with authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizza tucked away off the main drag of Georgia Ave. The complimentary fluffy loaf of warm bread with olive oil is divine and nearly conquered the loaf before even getting started on the pizza! The Verace pizza has a pillowy crust and the scrumptious buffalo mozzarella cheese hits the spot! A glass of Chianti pairs well with the meal. The cocktails are spot on too, the Peach Bellini was made with real peach puree. The cozy restaurant is quiet and while it could use some dusting with cobb webs hanging from the lamps and a fresh coat of paint, it's a relief that it doesn't draw crowds and the pizza and warm bread are well worth it. Skip the pastas - they are not made in-house. Among the best Neapolitan pizzas in the DMV area. Definitely worth the trek from McLean, VA and excited to come back! read more

Shhhh! Nobody tell anyone about this place. The pizza is too amazing and if too many people know about it, it'll be too crowded and we'll never get another table! This is the pizza I dream about when I think of being in Italy and eating pizza. It is so fresh, the ingredients are simple, but always elegant, and a nice finish of olive oil versus a greasy mess that you find at American pizza places, really set this place apart. Their other dishes are just as amazing. My kids and my favorite is the grilled octopus. Now I'm hungry read more

Yes-yes-a thousand times yes. Pacci's is such a fabulous place I hope I can find the words to share their excellence. I guess I'll start with a running argument I've been having with Yelp about the coveted "6 Star Review." The theory is that once a year, Yelp Elites (with five or more consecutive years of "Eliteness") are granted a single review to which they can give a 6th star. This would up the average of the restaurant's review score. Anyway...Pacci's would get my 2022 6th star. We started with the sampler appetizer (Piattone of Pacci's). It didn't come with the olives as advertised but that's okay because I hate olives :-0 The Buffalo Mozzarella was so delish and there were little balls of it wrapped inside of the smoked salmon too. Honestly the whole dish was fantastic. I had the Paisana white pizza and it was pure heaven (I actually did the Philip Rosenthal arms over the head celebration after my first bite). The Parmesan was subtle enough not to overpower the rest of the ingredients and the basil/mozzarella balance was flawless. This pizza was perfection from the first bite to the last. The Mrs. had the Pacci's salad which had a beautiful combination of ingredients including some of my personal faves, pears, nuts, and craisins. It also benefitted from being massive and worthy of being called a meal. I would go to Pacci's three times a week if I could justify it. Definitely going on the 6-Star list. read more

my mom and i go here for special events like birthdays and we love it. the service is quick and friendly. the drinks are delicious and come quickly. we love to order the fried calamari, pizza and the tiramisu. recently we went with a group of 5 people and when we left everyone was talking about how great the food and service was. the seating area is nice, not too close to the other tables and while you can hear the noise of others it's not too loud that you can't have your own conversations read more

Bruch review: The effort was there, but the final effect sometimes fell short. The eggs benedict looked lovely, if somewhat short of hollandaise, but were quite cold. Three of the pans were empty on both of my visits to the buffet line. The crab legs were excellently cooked. The meatballs were remarkably light and delightful. Labels for the steam trays would have been helpful. The few deserts were dense and hard. I have visited the restaursnt several times for dinner, and was always pleased. read more

P is for Pacci's: Introduction: A date & I visited Pacci's for lunch on Friday, December 31, 2021. The end of 2021 was a weird time, where Covid was on a big upswing, and I was pursuing dating. In summer 2021, I had won tickets on the radio to a ticketed event on January 8, 2022. My first choice for this event was a date. If I couldn't have a date, then I would either find a friend to go or sell the tickets. My dating had been bad in September-December until the last 2 days of the year, with 3 dates, 2 bad & 1 mediocre. I had a very good 1st date on Thursday, 12/30, someone from online. This woman & I both had New Year Eve's off work, and I knew her for 3 years, but didn't pursue dating her until December 2020 but never panned out all of 2021 until the very last day. Restaurant: I had gotten there about 20 minutes early in case it was busy as it was New Year Eve's, and some people might've been off. Unfortunately, for Pacci's it was dead there as Covid probably sacred a lot of the sensitive Montgomery County crowd off. The restaurant was a bit off the beaten path as in not on Georgia, Connecticut, or some other major street. The place was clean and well decorated. We were in an area that jutted out by a window. I got a mushroom pizza, which was delicious. The server was friendly and answered any questions we had. The table was a little crooked, and the glasses were sliding toward the window at times, which was an ongoing joke on our date. So, they might want to check the foundation of the restaurant. As for the date, it was very good, and more importantly, she agreed the next day to go to the January 8 ticketed event I had. read more

I always passed by this place that looked like a rail car. Looked really cool so I gave it a shot. Went in for lunch and tried the chicken parm sandwich. First off everyone was extremely nice 5 stars. Ambiance 5 stars. The Parm was on the other hand underwhelming. Chicken was bland and sauce was almost non existent. Bun wasn't toasted and cheese looked and tasted like it was just warmed. I'm from NYC and my local slice shop's parm sandwich for $9 slaps. This was $18.75! so I was excited for a killer sandwich. This was more of a hero style. I was so hungry and ate the first half. Bummer , I couldn't even finish it. read more

As a connoisseur of Italian delicacy, I had been looking and authentic Italian food experience all over the DMV and it saddened me, that what I was looking for was right in my backyard this entire time. This place is nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for wholesome, rustic, proper Italian cuisine, this is it. We started off with the Burrata and Prosciutto antipasti and wow! An explosion of flavors this. The prosciutto was thinly shaved and flavorful, and paired well with the burrata that oozed upon slicing. Coupled with some lovely toasted buttered bread, bits of arugula and tomato w/ basil on top.. an absolute beaut of a starter. 5/5 for me! For mains, I had the Capricossa pie and it did not disappoint. I could not confirm, but I'm confident that the flour they used to make their pizza is the coveted 00 flour, which is great for digestion and not leaving you bloated after. My partner had the Campagonla salad and said it was divine. Service was immaculate as our server was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, courteous and attentive, as were all the staff in all honesty. All in all, I can't wait to come back and try more of this menu because this first time left a lasting impression on me. It gave me that Italian experience I had been longing for. My biggest regret is not having tried this gem sooner. I will be back asap! read more

We went tonight for dinner to try something new. (As Boston implants to the MD Burbs, we have struggled to find really really great Italian). The restaurant is much larger than it appears and parking is hard, FYI. They seemed to have a lot of take out so it was promising. I ordered the penne alla vodka and added on chicken. The sauce was delicious but the chicken was hard and not very flavorful; wish I skipped the chicken. Ryan got the chicken parm. It was good, not the best he's had down here but he did eat it all! Service was very slow. Took about 20 minutes to get the bill; totally understand some wait time. For the quality and quantity of the food, it's not worth the high price. We may go back in the future for the pizza, but we aren't going to rush back. read more
