About Pacifico

Pacifico is a recent arrival on the Southsea dining scene that leans hard into colour, character and crowd-pleasing cooking. The look is lively and contemporary, with a laid-back feel, while the menu draws broadly on Pan Pacific, tapas-style dishes designed for sociable dining. There’s a strong cocktail offering at the bar, naturally led by tequila and rum, with margaritas and other classics sitting comfortably alongside the food. A concise wine list and easy-drinking beers round things out, keeping the focus firmly on flavour and fun rather than formality. Scintillating beats from in-house DJs help set the tone – upbeat, informal and geared towards groups, couples and anyone looking to inject a bit of sunshine into the Southsea dining scene.

Staff were amazing — they knew the menu inside out and gave great recommendations. Being in the catering industry myself, that goes a long way. Service was quick without feeling rushed, cocktails were really nice, and the food was excellent. The music and overall vibe made a really good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

Lovely staff and a lovely venue. I really enjoyed my first visit to Pacifico and would definitely return. There are plenty of vegan options to choose from, which was great to see. The food and wine was really nice. My only slight criticism and it’s more of a general point than something specific to Pacifico is that I’m not a fan of service charges being automatically added to the bill. The meal was already quite expensive and, although the service was excellent, after already spending a small fortune it just adds that extra “ouch” at the end of the evening. It’s definitely more of a special occasion destination for me rather than somewhere I could afford to visit regularly. Another small thing, which I’ve noticed in other tapas style restaurants too, is serving three pieces of an item when the dish is being shared between two makes it a little awkward to divide up! Also, the hand dryer in the toilets wasn’t great, especially for a newly refurbished restaurant. That said, despite these minor points, I’d still love to visit again for a special occasion and to try some of the other dishes.

Recommended venue did not disappoint. We were there for a special occasion and family had deposited a balloon and had paid for our first drinks - lovely. Lovely food, tapas style which we chose having been recommended by existing diners! The food was delicious and quickly served. The Bar was busy with cocktails and clearly service is a high priority. The team were very professional, knowledgeable and a relatively small menu meant that every dish was perfect and a keen price point. What I particularly liked was the attentiveness of the team hovering tables not only to check the food but to deliver fresh drinks and clear plates efficiently. Our visit on a Saturday evening included a DJ but refreshingly the music volume was just right so we could have a conversation around the table. The music was good as well! This is a professional outfit with a Maitre De controlling the orchestra. Many smiling faces as this is a fun venue. Congratulations to the whole team, totally motivated and enjoying the experience with guests.

Overall I was really recommend everyone to visit Pacifico!! Hat’s off to Jodie, Rob and Ben on what they have achieved here and the team they have built!!

Stunning new addition to Southsea! The food and drinks that our party had were perfection. Lovely attentive staff. Looking forward to the addition of bar stools for the very beautiful, well stocked cocktail bar. Lighting and music are superb. Make it your regular spot. We are!! Perfect place to be seen but also has private booths and balcony tables. Glorious on all counts.

My second time at Pacifico on Saturday night and the vibe just keeps getting better. Such a classy atmosphere, but also super chilled and welcoming. The staff are really attentive, the cocktails are to die for, the food is superb and the DJ was playing some great tunes! What more could you want for a Saturday night!
