- RRachelNew York City •2 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoThe 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!More infoPacifico - New Haven, CTPrice: Moderate• Latin / Spanish• New Haven•4.6
