Pacino’s Italian Restaurant will mark a major milestone on Saturday, April 11, celebrating 13 years of serving the community with the same warmth, generosity, and oldworld Italian spirit that inspired its beginning. And this year, the celebration is bigger and brighter than ever.
Guests can expect live music all day, face painting, a lively chickenwing eating contest, free meatball appetizers, and a raffle for gift cards, as well as a ’73 Chevy Cheyenne Pickup — a full day designed to bring people together in the way Pacino’s does best. But behind the festivities lies a story of family, resilience, and a deep commitment to giving back.
THIRTEEN YEARS STRONG: A CELEBRATION OF TRUST, CONSISTENCY, AND HEART
This year, the mood is triumphant. Pacino’s 13th anniversary isn’t just a celebration of longevity — it’s a testament to the trust the community has placed in the restaurant and the unwavering heart Frank pours into his work. He believes the secret to Pacino’s success is simple: give back.
Frank actively supports the Jack Sullivan Foundation for autism awareness and provides monthly meals to the children at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home. For him, it’s more than charity, it’s his purpose.
“I’m using my gift, that the Lord has given me,” he says. “Loving on people, paying it forward, and praising HIM.”
Pacino’s Italian Restaurant is located at 2831 N. Power Road, in Mesa, at The Village at Las Sendas. For more information, call (480) 985-0114, or visit pacinositalian.com
