    Great ambiance and amazing service by Alex and "Other Alex". For starters, the shishito peppers and provencals mussels were delicious, nicely prepared. Mussels with frites, the peppers nicely charred with a lime wedge for that umami hit. Drinks were delicious and meticulously crafted by Other Alex. And the main dinners were tasty and well portioned, squid ink seafood pasta and gnocchi. The dessert - Nutella cheesecake - was overly indulgent and I could have gone for a lighter fare. Other Alex sold me on it, she's excellent at her craft. A must visit and adjacent to the Yale University Arts Library and Yale School of Art - super chill street vibes. Lots of free street parking too! I'd visit again, thank you for the great experience.

    The food was fabulous! The crab cake and the Camarones y Vieras con Ravioli de Langosta entree were especially outstanding. We arrived at 4:30 for a very early dinner, and the place was peacefully quiet. Our servers were great at taking and delivering our food orders, and attentively kept my husband's water glass filled (no mean feat). The young man who took my wine order seemed unfamiliar with wines in general, and did not make useful recommendations from Pacifico's wine list. He asked multiple times if I wanted to order a second glass; I thought I was clear the first time that one glass was it for me. Highly recommend Pacifico. We'll be back!
