Love this place! Pate was Excellent! Rigatoni Amazing! They Always Make the Best Branzino in the city! And don't miss the Panna Cotta! Service is Always on point as well! Owner is onsite, & engaging operations. Great to see, & it shows in the experience. Keep up the Good Work! Thank You all for another wonderful Dinner!

Coco Pazzo delivers an exceptional Italian dinner: the pasta specials are delicious, rigatoni is amazing, and the bronzino is spectacular. Most impressive, however, is the immaculate service—attentive, knowledgeable, and thoughtfully accommodating, making the entire dining experience feel refined yet welcoming. Highly recommended.

First time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The Atmosphere to the ambiance was perfect. The food was just absolutely delicious. But the stars of the dinner was the staff. They were very attentive, helpful, and so friendly. The service was impeccable! Highly recommend this restaurant for a perfect date night. Definitely will be back!

Elegant surroundings in an exposed brick building make this an urban gem. Food was fresh and delicious. Our table of 4 shared the white gorgonzola pizza as an appetizer. Delicious. Wines by the glass are a bit pricey.

Steak frites were top notch, a rare deviation away from pasta this time. Beef carpaccio was excellent as well and the quality service helps too.
We absolutely love coco pazzo, everything from the environment to the menu to the service. They brought us a complimentary sample appetizer, which was lovely, and we got a birthday dessert on the house. Our server was great and very friendly, and all the staff there were very nice. The music wasn't loud, and it just started to get busy towards the end of our meal, we went at 6pm and there was only a few other parties in there. Food was amazing as always, never disappoints, and great prices too. We will always return here for date nights!

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!

I had a reservation for 9:00 PM and arrived right on time. I was told the wait would be about 15 minutes, but I wasn’t seated until 9:36 PM, which felt more like waiting in the walk-in line than having a reservation. When I asked about it, the response made it seem like this delay was normal, which was frustrating.
What also made the experience uncomfortable was that I felt a noticeable difference in how guests were treated. I was dressed business casual, yet it seemed like other customers were prioritized. That may not have been intentional, but it definitely affected how welcome I felt.
The restaurant itself is nice, and I still tipped well, but better handling of reservations and more consistent, respectful treatment of all guests would really improve the experience.

Literally doesn't matter if you have any reservation to the specific time they will just put you in the live lane so you will wait around 35 minutes to get seated

We hadn't been back to Coco Pazzo in several years and I now wonder why. The food was superb and the ambiance first class. Congrats to the owners and staff for once again putting the restaurant at the top of our list of go to places.
