A self-taught cook, Chef/Owner Bob Patchen's creativity started at the early age of 8 years old when he was apprenticed in the kitchen of his grandmother's restaurant. It was in this atmosphere that his versatile style developed.
Award winning Paci Restaurant is owned and operated since 1996 by Chef Robert Patchen and his wife Donna. Nestled on the eastbound side of the Southport train station in a renovated freight depot, Paci Restaurant combines old New England architecture with a modern European style.
Paci redefines many original classic Italian dishes. Daily menu changes reflect seasonal offerings and market availability.
The Chefs takes advantage of local farms for produce and herbs. Only the highest quality of prime meat, veal, fish and seafood are offered at Paci. Delicate homemade pastas and sensational desserts including ice cream and sorbet are made daily.
Paci's award winning wine cellar is an extensive collection of fine Italian wines including a select group of rare vintages. Frequent wine dinners with renowned wine makers from the vineyards are often a sell-out event at Paci.
