Pacino’s Real Italian Restaurant is the place to be this New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, Dec. 31, from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Experience a whirlwind event of fantastic cuisine, an incredible music concert and a chance to win great prizes.
The evening starts off with a champagne toast and four-course meal: bacon-wrapped, stuffed shrimp appetizer; a simple salad with pine nuts, raisins and blue cheese crumbles; entrée choices of center-cut filet mignon or Norwegian salmon; and Bavarian cream puffs for dessert.
You even get to keep the Pacino’s logo champagne glass and receive other party favors. A trivia contest offers prizes of $500 worth of Johnny Cash memorabilia to the winners.
Next comes a rousing concert by The Mighty Cash Cats featuring Johnny Cash and Linda Rondstadt’s Silver Threads tributes.
“The Mighty Cash Cats is one of the leading tribute bands in the country,” said Pacino’s owner Frank Spaccarelli, “and they will only be here for the one night. We are excited to have them performing for our guests. We’ve done a tribute band for the past few New Year’s and it’s always been a hit.”
Frank noted the group’s international acclaim, “Mighty Cash Cats is the USA’s No. 1 Johnny Cash tribute, as close as you can get to the real thing.” The LA Weekly and the Los Angeles Times both stated, “Silver Threads, the Linda Ronstadt Experience, a wonderful show. Leticia Blumette tears it up with her powerhouse voice.”
“Critically acclaimed for their expert preservation of Johnny Cash’s performances, The Mighty Cash Cats have awed audiences across the country,” stated the San Diego Tribune.
Reservations for the entire ultimate New Year’s Eve concert and dinner are $125 per person, plus tax and gratuity, and are non-refundable.

Why Pacino’s? Frank has quite a story to tell about how he got the name for his restaurant and its corresponding Al Pacino memorabilia décor.
“It all started years ago at a casino in Vegas, when a guy next to me said, ‘Hey, Al Pacino’s little brother,’” said Frank, who bears a resemblance to the well-known actor. “I’ve always admired Al Pacino and his movies, and I was looking for a name for my restaurant, so I picked Pacino’s. My own name is too hard to spell,” he said with a laugh.
Located in The Village at Las Sendas, 2831 N. Power Road, at the northeast corner of Power and McDowell roads, Pacino’s Real Italian Restaurant is Northeast Mesa’s home for classic and contemporary Italian cuisine and pizza.
