The Details: Pacci is the posh hotel restaurant that dreams are made of. Its glamorous, relaxed, European living-room style cradles diners and business meetings alike in its plush burgundy sofas and hardwood accents, while Europop and jazz fusion softly plays. The eloquent, knowledgeable wait staff will ease you through the potential intimidation of such a high-caliber restaurant without a single nuance of haughty aristocracy. Chef Keira Moritz uses fresh local ingredients to create an amazing combination of textures, flavors, and aromas.
With entrees that range in price from $8 to $40, you can justify pampering yourself with incredible cuisine at any budget. Pacci sells wine by the half glass, glass, carafe, or bottle; don’t hesitate to heed the waiter's suggestions about what will best compliment your meal. When you’re presented with a menu, you may be surprised that it's only a piece of paper attached to a pliant sheet of uncured leather. Don’t be alarmed—the contents make up for any of its physical shortcomings.
If an appetizer like duck confit with Gorgonzola polenta and blackberry marmalade isn't enough to send your heart (and taste buds) aflutter, try the Warm Apple Pie, a nonalcoholic "winter warmer" specialty drink that's a glorious liquid rendition of its namesake. My dining companion and I would gladly have consumed a pitcher of this wonderful nectar, though be warned that the sediment at the bottom of the glass could ruin the last sip.
Even the coffee—a rich, full-bodied, earthy blend with a hint of hazelnut—proves that Pacci doesn't overlook a single detail. This extends to the dessert menu, which includes an option for your pet pooch at home. I opted for the Tiramisu Trio, a triple-take on the classic, complete with not just the original version, but lemon and banana-cream versions as well. The latter caused me to temporarily overcome my aversion to bananas to adore this.
Whether you spend a couple hours at Pacci unwinding at the end of a hectic day or sneak away for a brief lunch interlude, you won't regret dropping by. Even bringing a good book in lieu of a companion can make this an elegant oasis full of as many polite, helpful employees as terrific food options. Do not be intimidated by this exquisite restaurant. The food is worth it!
