After having been here several times the food is quite good. The lasagna in particular is a personal favorite. The ambiance is pleasant although crowded at times. They have an excellent wine selection. One recommendation- if you order takeout in particular -pizzas. Check them before you leave. The pizza I ordered last night had the four ingredients put in four separate corners. I don't understand it but can only assume I was given the wrong order or someone in the kitchen was having a bad night!

The Italian food here is so fresh and flavorful. They really do live up to their value of serving authentic Italian food. I'm a local, so I've been here multiple times, including weddings, family gatherings, etc. Some of my personal favorites from Pazzo Pomodoro are the salmon al limoncello, arachini (although I learned later that it contains pork, which I cannot have due to dietary restrictions), and gnocchi. The servers are also nice. However, the reason I gave four stars instead of five is because, everytime it is time to pay the check, the owner or manager sends away the server and takes the tip for himself.I've physically had to look for the server to tip him, and ended up tipping the owner because the server was gone, and I've had experiences with the owner, who only comes out when it is time for a tip. I get some restaurants don't give an option to tip some people directly, but it is disappointing to see the servers and dishwasher do the hard work and the manager/owner pop up when it's time to pay. Trust me, I wouldn't make this such a big issue, but the reason why I am emphasizing this, is after the manager/owner took the tip, the server came back and was a bit rude with my party, giving us a dirty look and an attitude with taking our plates.

Great cozy place to eat with the family. The food is always top notch, and the staff are very polite. Theres a wide variety of dishes, I haven’t tried anything I didn’t like. The garlic bread are *chef kiss*, the meatballs are the right amount of tender and the lasagna was very rich. I got the agnolotti carmela and it was very flavorful, really good. Stop thinking about it and go try them out!

A very good "local" Italian restaurant. Shared a Caesar Salad and had Veal Saltimbocca. Both were very good.

Great lunch with friends today! Our server, Mauro, was fantastic and handled 7 people with separate checks brilliantly. When I ordered a glass of wine he recommended one he thought was better and it did not disappoint. The arancini was tasty - better than what I've had in Sicily. I enjoyed the special Penne al Barolo and brought some home to save room for Limon cake. A cozy respite on a rainy day.

Best Italian food in the area. So delicious. Also the staff was absolutely wonderful. Can't say enough about the food at this place. I will say the ambiance is blah, but who cares.

great food but when i've been in groups around 6-8 people service can get really slow. prices are a bit high but worth it most of the time!

Great service here. Seems like all the locals come to this little Italian place. Food is ok. Not amazing and we had 3 different dishes but the vibe makes up for it.

We love this place. Easy parking, nicely prepared authentic food. We will be back many more times. Our whole group enjoyed their food and service. Gnocchi are somewhat tender but not like little pillows.

Not sure what changed. Had a Christmas lunch last year and everything was great. Returned this year, and the food was terrible. May not return next year.
