“Excellent food and tremendous service.”

Excellent food and tremendous service! Staff was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. The carpaccio was light but decadent. The fresh fettuccine with clams had a little hot pepper kick. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves Italian food!

Coco Pazzo is a gem in the heart of Chicago 🇮🇹✨ From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for a great dining experience. The candlelit tables and rustic decor created a cozy yet elegant atmosphere 🍷🍽️ The Chicago Restaurant Week menu was a perfect way to experience the restaurant. Every course was beautifully prepared with fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The meal was balanced, satisfying, and ended on a sweet note with a decadent dessert 🍫🍨 Service was attentive and thoughtful, making the experience even better. Coco Pazzo is the perfect spot for an authentic Italian meal in the city. Highly recommend checking it out, especially during Chicago Restaurant Week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Rigatoni alla buttera was perfection on so many levels.”

The Rigatoni alla buttera was perfection on so many levels. I also loved the cesaer salad. The flavors were amazing. The vibe of the restaurant was Classy Italian. Established and well trained wait staff. The waiter spoke Italian as well which made me feel like I was in Italy. Great wine list. Wonderful experience overall.

“Amazing food once again.”

Amazing food once again. Went here for the first time in 1994 and the quality is still amazing. I had the scaloppini di vitello and it was amazing. My wife and daughter both had pasta dishes and loved every bite. Staff is very attentive. Look forward to future visits.

Everything was delightful and the complimentary breads are a sweet surprise. We had a great time and thanks to our server’s excellent suggestions, enjoyed every part of our dinner. The fish stew does not disappoint, it’s very filling and full of flavor. Highly suggest the octopus appetizer.

“Veeeery delicious food.”

Veeeery delicious food. Highly recommend getting a little of every appetizer since they are all so good. I got the branzino as a main and it did not disappoint. They debone the fish for you which is such a nice experience! The cocktails were also very good. Overall great place for a nicer occasion or a business dinner.
