Coming August 25th - Pacci's Trattoria
Here's a preview of the menu for Pacci's Trattoria, scheduled to open August 25th in the old Forest Glen General Store.
From the restaurant's press release:
The menu features an array of classic Italian dishes selected by Rosario Granieri, who is both a partner and the Executive Chef at the new restaurant. Many of the dishes featured on the menu are recipes passed down to Granieri from his mother and grandmother in Naples. Along with his family recipes, Granieri will also feature a host of dishes he has perfected over the years while working as a chef in Naples, Sardinia, Rome, and London. “I can’t wait to give the community a more in depth taste of Napoli’s rich culinary history beyond our famous pizzas.” Granieri will work alongside Head Chef Antonio Ciotola in executing the menu, which includes ten appetizers, eight pasta dishes, and eight entreés.Note that the restaurant will be reservation-only during its first week.
In keeping with the homemade standard set by Pacci’s Neapolitan Pizzeria, Gioldasis imported two Italian pasta machines to churn out fresh pastas such as sciallatielli, tortteloni, and ravioli. The made to order pasta dishes will be topped with homemade sauces, organic vegetables, and high quality meats, including homemade meatballs and homemade sausage.
One thing's for certain - the service at Pacci's will be better than that of its predecessor. Presumably the new staff won't hate you for eating there.

Can't wait for them to open. My wife and I live off of Linden Ln, can't wait to scarf down plates of pasta while watching the Redskins win!
I seriously hope they don't put flat/big screen TV's in this restaurant (unless it's in a secluded bar area). We are overwhelmed with TV everywhere we go and it would be nice to NOT have one playing during dinner. Other than that, the food sounds incredible!

Agree. If a TV is on, I can't help but watch it. I'm like a raccoon with shiny objects.
I have to agree - putting a tv in a restaurant is criminal. No decent sit down restaurant should have a tv in it. That's my biggest complaint with Olazzo - the food and service aren't bad, but the tv detracts from all of that. And no, having it just at the bar isn't acceptable either. Let's just hope Pacci's doesn't go down that road. (Note to owner - if you have put one in now is the time to remove it).
Pacci's pizzeria put them in at the bar. Agree about Olazzo....the just blare in your face. I do like the tv that shows the old black and white movies like The Bicyle Thief or On the Waterfront....they go with the black and white pics on the walls. BTW I am a 40 year old male who loves sports, but enough is enough.
I cannot wait for it to open! Menu looks great!
Didn't take long for this burglary after opening:
• Commercial Burglary: The Paccis Trattoria restaurant, 6 Post Office Road, was burglarized between 3:00p.m. Saturday 8/13 and 9:00 a.m. on Monday 8/15. The suspect pried a rear door to enter and, once inside, pried open a cash register and removed change.
I can also confirm they stole menu's. Quite the heist they pulled off.
Went last night- once they iron out service and get a liquor liscence, it should be great! One waitress for an entire place is not OK!
