"I took a friend from out of town here based solely on reading the reviews. We both had a really great time. The server Jaime, was friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Have us a couple of great recommendations. The ambiance was fantastic and the place was not overly crowded. Good for a nice dinner date and they do have a bar and a few TVs of your looking for a place to watch the game. The wine list was also quite nice and affordable with wines to stand alone or pair with your meal. I'd make eating here and "every time I was in the neighborhood" choice."

"Pazzo's is the perfect restaurant for any occasion. The menu is large, the service is attentive, the prices are affordable and the homemade pasta is to die for! The location makes this place perfect to grab a bite before/after a theater show. It's a little out of the way but with just a few minutes walk, you're at your destination and ready to enjoy the evening entertainment."

"Our best visit ever to Pazzo's, they exceeded themselves! Seared tuna was outstanding, perfectly done to rare, with a tasty curry aioli, roasted potatoes, and fresh grilled asparagus. It was exactly what I wanted, perfectly prepared, and as good as any four star restaurant in town! Dinner salad featuring cranberries, gorgonzola, apples and spinach was perfectly dressed, and extremely tasty."
