My opinion the best Italian food in Sarasota. It’s the third place their in each one bigger and better. Why because great food. Just an Italiano from Chicago say. God bless they work so hard.

I have ordered fried calamari a 1,000 times at all different types of restaurant’s and these were truly the best I have ever had ? The blackened red fish was excellent! At our table there was Italian wedding soup and a pasta Fagiol like I have never seen and both were amazing, lasagna,, rigatoni “yes I tasted everything” Service was excellent and we can’t wait to go back very soon ?

Friendly staff greets you when you walk in the door. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable. The food was phenomenal, you can tell the chef really cares about the recipes. Perfect thin crust pizza. The atmosphere is lovely.

Service is great food is even better. Friendly staff and the food came out in a timely manner. Definitely a must and the ambience along with the food makes for a great time out. I recommend the pasta or one of their pizza options. You will definitely remember your visit to this fine establishment! Oh don’t forget their cheesecake what a way to end a meal.

I was looking for authentic Italian cuisine and I came to the right place! The food did not disappoint! I'm a harsh critic as I've lived in Italy and have eaten some of the finest Italian. If you're looking for delicious, flavor filled Italian food, Pazzo Southside is the spot!

Excellent pizza, and a very delicious side of spinach. I got the Johnny Mish, and my friend had the Uncle Vic (without broccoli). Photos of all below.

Great NYC Italian restaurant. As a fellow New Yorker it was a pleasant surprise to find this gem. Risotto of the Day was delicious. Nice selection of drinks particularly the "Lemon Ice". Hot sub sandwiches are great too!

Fantastic food and drinks! No matter what you order, everything is made fresh and to order. Vikki and the family do a wonderful job ensuring each and every guest feels like they are at home with their Nona’s cooking. Very exciting specials each and every day!

This was our first meal at Pazzo southside. Was highly recommended by a friend and we could not agree more! The service was top notch, the food was spectacular, The wine list was interesting and very reasonably priced. I’d say that the value was tremendous as well. My wife and I split a small meatball salad and it was as delicious as it was unusual. Will definitely have that again. My wife’s chicken Parmesan was fantastic and she said the tomato sauce was very fresh tasting. Brother-in-law head seafood pasta which was really wonderful and included to his surprise half a lobster tail! Not sure how they can do that for just $28. My chicken scarpariello was astounding! I had them bring me a spoon so I didn’t miss a drop. We shared a bottle of Prisoner which was a pretty reasonable (compare to PA restaurant wine prices) $70. Oh, and the Pazzo pie for dessert and it was an unique and wonderful treat. A new favorite restaurant downtown Sarasota!

This is probably the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to! The sauce is fabulous. The chicken Parmigiano is the best I've had. All the dishes on the menu are fantastic. I could eat here every day.
