“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!“

“Fantastic restaurant with a unique food offering of authentic Georgian food. Recommend their khachapuri and their lamb kebab. We tried their Pkhali Spinach which is an acquired taste and the beef khinkali dumplings, which had good flavor.

We also tried the assortment of drinks from the traditional Georgian soda (pear and tarragon flavors) and the mixed berry compote. The tarragon tastes like fennel/licorice.

We wanted the Chakpuri, but they stopped selling it when we arrived at 6:30, since they had run out, so make sure you arrive early to try it!

Please note that the food does take a while to arrive. We waited 30 minutes for food, but the staff are very nice and the owner spends a lot of time and effort in ensuring quality food. Generally, there is plenty of space and never too full, but they do take reservations.

Note that the restaurant is rather pricey, but it is well worth.“

“I came in during a weekday afternoon as I needed something convenient and fresh. I've always had the gyro bowls but during this visit I saw they were advertising the Mediterranean bowl so I asked the staff / cashier what the differences were between the two and she told me about the ingredients used. Honestly I wasn't up for trying something new in that moment, but the cashier shared that the Mediterranean bowl was her favorite item and suggested I pair it with the chicken souvlaki. It was one of the tastier and better casual lunches I've had in a while! Service was also very friendly and helpful, and I thanked the cashier on my way out for her recommendation. It was so good that the following week I ordered the same bowls for a family dinner via door dash.

Highly recommend folks try the flavorful and vibramt Mediterranean Bowl if they havent her already.“

“Always like a place where the windows open up to the street, and there are a couple tables in front on the sidewalk you could use with your pup. The decor is simple but nice. The service a bit on the slow side, but nothing to complain about assuming you're not in a hurry. Food is very good and flavorful. But being Burmese don't expect your pad thai to be like in Thailand (here it is a little sweeter), nor your curry like India (not as spicy). We came for lunch midweek, and it is a bit expensive for lunch (because all they serve is off the same menu used for dinner). So your better value may be dinner. Our bill was $60 for two without tip or any alcohol.“
