    It was wonderful to experience Pazzo for the first time. From the moment you walk in to the tastefully decorated restaurant through the exceptional service and the exquisite food, you will be happy you chose to dine at Pazzo. Our server, Scotty, was great. He was professional, but had a wonderful personality. The tableside fettucine prepared by Carlo was an experience not to be missed. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    The Drill is our favorite and we have never been disappointed. Something different and fantastic every time. You have to take whatever the Chef makes which is really cool to experience and not know what is coming. They even pair a wine with the different parts of the five course meal, we have found many new wines that we now look for that we had never tried before doing the different Drills on several occasions.
