Welcome To Pazzo!

ITALIAN FOOD IS TWICE BLESSED BECAUSE IS THE PRODUCT OF TWO ARTS, THE ART OF COOKING AND THE ART OF EATING

From famed cookbook author Marcella Hazan in her book “The Classic Italian Cookbook”

WE ARE….

Two friends, two devoted family men, two restaurant lovers and now businessmen, that have been serving and delighting others for over 20+ years. We are excited to share with you our passion, our heart’s work: Pazzo Italiano.

Our menu has been carefully pieced together to bring you a combination of your favorite Italian staples, some more sophisticated flavors with a touch of fun and some new crazy combinations. We look forward to sharing our passion for taste and our love for service with you…
