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.

Disappointing on all fronts
by tstricker at Citysearch
I've long been a fan of Pazzo's but after my experience last night I will never return. We went for a festive Christmas dinner with friends and it was awful. We waited 45 minutes to an hour between our salad and main. The waitress kept coming by hoping we'd order another round (we did not). No apologies, just a statement "there's a big party" when we finally complained. Well, that's not our fault; be more prepared! The risotto was bland, the spaghettini pedestrian, and the gnocchi overcooked. All in all, an awful experience that made all of us not want to return.
- Pros: Beautiful dining room
- Cons: Everything else

try it for breakfast

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 at Citysearch
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 :(
