Yes, "pacific" has exactly the same two connotations in American English
as "pacifico" has in Italian -- http://www.bartleby.com/61/37/P0003700.html 
It's just a rare-ish word, being overwhelmed by [a] "peaceful" and [b] the
geographic-connoting "Pacific" (which refers not just to the Ocean, but to
the huge variety of regions bordering said Ocean...).
