1981
The first restaurant to be housed at 18 Suffolk Street was established in 1981. It was the 18th Precinct and it was developed and launched by then owner Sylvester Costello. Syl as he was better known planned and developed an all American themed restaurant serving steak, burgers, and salads like ranging in prices from 50p to £10. The 18th Precinct was twined and themed with a New York Police Department where all the waitresses and waiters dressed in police uniform and even had gun holsters on their person. It is rumoured that Syl even ran into trouble in JFK airport when he decided to bring lots of New York Police Memorabilia back from the states to Ireland including replica guns, nightsticks and handcuffs when stopped at customs. A plaque from the 18th Precinct New York Police department, having since been restored can be found on the wall in Pacino's as recognition of that time.
1983
In 1993, the 18th Precinct had closed and it wasn't until Frank Bergin took over the lease was there a new restaurant born. Frank had opened a family friendly Italian Trattoria and Pizzeria that proved very popular with people of all ages and possessed a character, charm and menu that was popular with all, young and old. Pacino's traded for 14 years through the late '90's and into millennium to see a change of currency and a smoking ban. To this day the main restaurant floor and the server sections are associated with the non smoking and smoking areas while the front section was known as “Bus” as it was close to the bus stops of Suffolk Street.
2006
In 2006 Pacino's Restaurant was sold to Michael Martin, and it was from this point that Pacino's was moulded into what it is today. With extensive renovations completed which included the conversion of the basement storage areas into a Cellar Bar& Venue and expansion of the third floor into a Mezzanine seating area. With this new found use of space Pacino's grew from an Italian Trattoria to a Restaurant, Bar & Venue that produces the best in authentic Italian food created by the fantastic Chef Patron Luca Mazza with a huge focus on entertainment and nightlife.
