Pazzo's, Chicago

"There is beauty in simplicity." Pazzo's Cucina Italiana proves this statement with its menu of Mediterranean cuisine showcasing fresh ingredients and Old-World influences.

Old-School But Not Outdated

Mediterranean flavors dominate the restaurant's sumptuous dishes. Appetizers include creamy red-pepper and pesto hummus accompanied by warm pita bread. Meanwhile, tender seafood and savory vegetables sit atop freshly made pastas, absorbing rich Italian sauces. To craft these meals, chefs rely on tried-and-true Old-World techniques, making the restaurant's pasta and meatballs from scratch.

Catering for Special Occasions

With three locations throughout the Loop, Pazzo's is not only an ideal location for everyday meals, but special occasions, too. Its catering packages feed up to 400 people, and its South Wacker site houses a picturesque atrium that frequently hosts weddings, corporate functions, and black-tie food fights.
