We had a wonderful New Year's eve here. This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants. We have been going to it and its predecessor on Saint Clair for decades. We hope it will be reincarnated again!

We had such a wonderful meal at Coco Pazzo Cafe. It honestly was the best meal on our trip. If we had been in town longer we definately would go back. The calamari was lightly battered and very tender. The burchetta was perfect and our pasta was very flavourful. Sadly I can't remember the names of the pasta ordered, but one was the simple spicy tomatoe and the other a creamy base with sausage! Soooo good! The service was also excellent. Thank you for a fabulous meal out!

Great alternative to another pricey, Italian restaurant around the corner. Food, service and restaurant/ cafe appearance all way above average. Can't wait to try this place again.
What a fantastic mother-daughter dinner! Service was amazing! When my daughter was disappointed that there was no vodka sauce on the menu, the staff without hesitation or needing to check said simply, “we will make it for you.” The food was incredible. The mussels were cooked to perfection. Everyone raved about their dinners!

Waiter wasn't as attentive as I'd have liked but the food was good. We were able to get in last minute after another restaurant completely blew it, so I really can't complain too much. The NY Strip was amazing, and the pizzas went over well with the kids.
Easy reservation via OpenTable put us at the door within moments from the Marriott hotel where the manager (owner?) greeted us cordially and seated us immediately. The server then greeted us and took our orders, with very prompt service for every subsequent step throughout the meal. Long story short: pretty awesome experience for us. Excellent food & service — exactly why we visited. 10/10 will gladly do this again.
I made a reservation for a 5 people dinner and when I got there, the reservation wasn’t scheduled, which was strange considering that I needed to inform my credit card number to do it weeks before.Despite that, the front desk guy was helpful and got us a table. I ordered a Cacio & Pepe and it’s was good, but not memorable. I don’t know if I’m being over exigent considering the US food environment, which rarely surprise me.

One of our favorite restaurants downtown!! Get the mussels-the sauce is incredibly delicious! Bread melts in your mouth without the olive oil they put on table - use it to mop up the sauce! Beet salad is excellent. The clam linguine was not on menu but my husband's favorite from the past. The chef made it for him! Service and ambiance superb!

I've worked down town for 25 plus years and never ate here.......finally that I made it a point to try it and while its the cafe and not the restaurant I loved it!! My only complaint is $22 for a personal pizza, and for $14 one small artichoke cut in 4 pieces.....the rest - service, the pizza ( OMG seriously the best like EVER!!!) and the drink ( Italian Manhattan!!!) was amazing. So clearly I liked it so much I wanted more for what I paid here because it was that good! Yes ill be back, until then I will dream of even larger portions of the stuff I love!!!

It was average and not bad. The kind of place I wouldn't book again but wouldn't mind if I had to go there. Service was fine, not overly friendly. Food was decent for the price.

This used to be our go to neighborhood restaurant but it's changed. They have been tinkering with the menu and some all time favorites have gone off. ( wild boar tagliatelle) And those thin thin toast pieces have been gone for quite a while. I get they are short staffed and that inflation is hitting them hard but I'm sad. Kudos for making a meatball appetizer for us after saying they couldn't but it was $18. But I don't like the trendy cocktails or all the large groups. Hopefully, this is temporary. I want them to survive!
highly recommended place and very good service
