What People Are Saying About Pazzo Ristorante

In Short – The dining room's rich wood accents and opulent fixtures are in view of the gleaming open kitchen. Secluded and serene seating in the back caters to business diners and romantics while the chic bar is crowded with pre- and post-theater folks sipping scotches and noshing from the lounge menu. Traditional pastas anchor the menu, which also features duck with kumquat sauce and regional Italian dishes: tre cicchetti, three Venice-inspired nibbles, including marinated mushrooms and duck pate.

try it for breakfast

by cmena07

we set out for mothers bistro on a saturday morning and got there at 9:30 with a half hour or more waiting list. so, we headed up to broadway to see what was going on and i remembered from some time ago that pazzo's was open for breakfast as the restaurant for the adjacent hotel. my two guests had lox and bagels and bacon and eggs and i had the mushroom, spinach and fontina omlette. they also served a fresh grain/nut bread and with hukleberry and apple jam. what a treat! everything was prepared perfectly and the service was attentive and polite. i don't think many people think of pazzo's for breakfast but we will definitely be back. oh, seating was immediate and the atmosphere very nice.

  • Pros: great breakfast and fresh pastries, jam
  • Cons: couple of bucks to pricey

Great food and even better service!

by mzliz1978

I went here for my anniversary a couple weeks ago and had a great evening! Our waitress went above and beyond in service and truly made it a great experience for us. The food was delicious, as were the appetizer and desserts. We missed out though, we had wanted the pineapple upside down cake and they ran out, but had a delicious alternative dessert - baked cream with berries. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a nice, romantic evening out in downtown.

  • Pros: best waitress ever, delicious foods, romantic setting
  • Cons: ran out of dessert we wanted :(

We always bring our guests to Pazzo Ristorante

by foodsleuth

WHY?

Maybe it's the fact that the food is ALWAYS delicious.

Maybe it's the fact that the staff is competant and genuinely interested in creating a wonderful dining experience.

Perhaps it's the fact that the menu changes seasonally and is created with local, organic and free-range foods. You can taste the quality in the dishes that they serve.

If you go in the Fall, try their pasta stuffed with butternut squash. In the Winter, try their gnocchi. I usually avoid gnocchi at restaurants but Pazzo gnocchi are amazing, light and chewy. When Halibut is in season, you will find the best Halibut you've ever had at Pazzo.

Oh, and did I mention the extensive wine list. For those longing for some authentic italian wines, you will find Pazzo's wine menu delightful. The servers are knowledgeable of the wines that they serve and can help match your wines to the entrees you have chosen.

We have a server that we really like and when we sit in her section, we always let her choose the wines for us.

I hope that you will enjoy your dining experience at Pazzo as much as we do.
