- RRuthWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our second time at Pacci’s. We appreciated being able to have a conversation without raised voices. Our pasta dishes were good- red pepper tortellini, wild boar tagliatelle. The only disappointment was the beet salad - almost completely all arugula and only 3 or 4 half beet slicesMore infoPacci'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Capitol Hill•4.7

My seafood grits had flavored, fresh seafood packed in every bite and his steak was cooked medium to perfection. My daiquiri drink was refreshing. Ohhhh and the caramel cake, yum!
