Lived experience

A local institution located on the ground floor of Empire Apartment Hotel and a mix of both indoor and outdoor a la carte service. When making a booking, make your access requirements known as the inside dining can get busy, as you would expect from a popular restaurant. There are no steps in the transition from outside and inside. The Italian styled intimate table arrangements outside, although befitting of the décor, can be a nuisance positioning your mobility equipment under the table.

Rarely do restaurants with the charm of Pacino's have the best amenities, however clean, accessible shower and toilet facilities are found in this precinct and it is worthwhile keeping in mind when leisurely exploring the Rockhampton Riverfront.
