Pacino's - South Shields

Great food and service. the first time here, but definitely again.

We were here for the 18-year anniversary family meal of my niece and it was great! first, eating was delicious, very cheap and served quickly. the staff and the service were excellent with request and ask courteous, friendly and prompt. I enjoyed a meatball star and a spicy king prawn main course, although some of the others had a fantastic salmon main course. my wife, who is a steak lover, ordered a steak with all circumcisions and pfeffer grain sauce. it was delicious. recommended and we will come back for more.

Have not been to pacino's for years visited tonight with my husband it was pretty quiet but still a few tables occupied. Ordered starters potato skins and hallummi both plentiful and delicious in fact both plates would have served four and the mains both had carbanara which was also delicious would definitely recommend and will be back

Lovely little restaurant. Good selection, nice portions and reasonable prices. I really enjoyed the meatballs.

Firstly, the staff were great. Attentive and polite in a restaurant that was about 60% full. But the food was awful. It arrived so quickly it must have been microwaved. The pasta was ok, but the cheese wasn't melted as it would be if it had been cooked fresh, rather than reheated in a microwave. The pizza was dry and basically from Aldi or Lidl, the breaded halloumi was ok, but again just supermarket quality. The portions were large, but I'd rather have better quality restaurant food than something I can make at home in the oven.
