ITALIAN RESTAURANT WORTH DISCOVERING IN CENTREVILLE-CHANTILLY AREA
February 3rd, 2009 categories: Community Life
If you can’t live without the occasional (or frequent) pleasure of good Italian food then you will want to know about the Pacino Ristorante located in the Village Shopping Center at the intersection of Braddock Rd. and Stone Rd. in the Centreville and Chantilly area.
PACINO RESTORANTE - 5655 STONE ROAD - CENTREVILLE, VA
On a recent visit I had opportunity to chat with owner Sam Z. Having enjoyed Pacino’s distinctive pizza style, I’d thought I’d share this gem with our blog viewers.
A few basics first:
Cuisine: Lengthy menu of Italian standards accented by Mediterranean specialties.
Location: Within the Village Shopping Center at the intersection of Braddock Rd. and Stone Rd. From Route 29, turn on Stone Rd. and proceed to Braddock Rd.
Phone: 703 222-5885
Hours of Operation: Monday to Thursday – 11 AM to 10 PM, Friday – 11 AM to 11 PM, Saturday – 9 AM to 11 PM, Sunday – 9 AM to 9 PM
Lunch Buffet: Monday to Friday, 11 AM to 3 PM
Catering Service: Pacino’s does on-site and off-site catering for weddings, parties, special events. Menu can be customized to your preference. A dining room is available for all special events, and the entire restaurant can also be reserved .
DINING ROOM FOR SPECIAL EVENTS AT PACINO'S RISTORANTE
Describing his approach, Sam puts it this way: ”I started from the bottom in the restaurant business and worked my way up. I wanted to start my own restaurant where I could make great food and treat people the way I want to be treated when I go to a restaurant. So we always do what is best for our customers..fresh, quality ingredients, carefully made.” It is nice to see this level of passion and conviction centered around genuine concern for the customer.
Sam has built a loyal customer base which includes many local residents who come back regularly. ”I really love getting to know my customers. When they come here I just want them to feel completely relaxed. They know they are welcome..they know how much we care about giving them the best food.”
Another feature that keeps people coming back is Pacino’s prices. “I want people to come back, so we work hard to keep everything affordable. And we are generous with our portions. I don’t want anyone leaving hungry!”
PACINO'S OWNER: HIS RECIPE IS FRESHNESS, QUALITY, & VALUE.
- BUFFET FOR LUNCH AND SPECIAL EVENTS
If you are in the area and want a hearty lunch, Pacino’s runs their buffet Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 3 PM. Typically it includes 8 entrees, pizza, and salad for $8.50. Also of note, Pacino’s has an attractive reserved dining room that works great for special events, club meetings, parties and other occasions.
So, if you have never visited Pacino’s, next time you have that “must have” feeling for good Italian cooking, give Pacino’s a try. You won’t spend a fortune, but you will eat very well.
