Paciarino

Great fresh pasta and sauces here. Husband and wife team from Milano Italy. Simple delicious salad. Raviolis are amazing. Enjoy. Don't miss this place if in Portland Maine. Those cookies were so good. So good.

This is a delicious and cozy spot that's like eating in a good friend's kitchen. The food was so fresh and well prepared, the service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance is quiet enough for comfortable conversation, and the space is cozy and welcoming. They kindly accommodated the two of us, fingers crossed with no dinner reservation, at these two cute counter seats where the hostess was rolling silverware. They didn't have to do that and we appreciated it. Will definitely be back on a future visit to Portland!

Wow the noodles are absolutely delicious. Sauce is good. I love love loved the venison. I actually don't mind the gamey taste of it but this did not taste that gamey at all. Very highly recommended. The bolognese was good but I've had better elsewhere. Service was good. Again, the real draw here is the handmade noodles. Highly recommended.

This is the BEST pasta I’ve ever had. The sauce is perfect, the filling in the ravioli is perfect, the service was great, everything. My dad got the special which was duck breast in a white sauce and loved it. Our waitress was very friendly (I think she might also be an owner) and was happy to make conversation. A perfect last dinner in Maine and a wonderful end to our vacation :)

Eclectic small space with delicious food. All pastas are made in house. Lasagna had the perfect bite to the noodles and was creamy and full of flavor. Appetizers are great. Salami is thick cut and full of flavor. A gem in a great city.

Really cozy place with good service. The waiter was really nice and on top of everything throughout our entire meal. The portions are good and the food is delicious. The prices are very reasonable. The tiramisu was amazing. I would definitely come here again.

This is a great cosy little place. Service and atmosphere are great. Superb ravioli and very interesting duck ragu on special. The tiramusi is among the best I've ever had and the boccondovino was indeed divine. Recommended.

Wonderful meal and atmosphere. Paciarino specializes in pasta. My tagliolini and my wife's ravioli reflected this and this. Fresh pasta done right is something special. Our mozzarella appetizer was absolutely fantastic as well. Good fresh mozzarella is hard to find and this preparation was simple and delicious. Don't forget the wine as well. We went with a carafe of the house red - it was reasonably priced and delicious to our tastes. Update: there is something to be said for consistency and while the service during our first visit was exceptional, our second visit was not good. My Macceroni Paesani did not have that soft mouth feel of fresh pasta either - tasted more like dried pasta from a box. We will most likely not return as there are many restaurants in this $$ price range to try.
