Since 1992, Coco Pazzo has been an award-winning, Tuscan-inspired Chicago favorite. Menu items include the Porterhouse Bistecca alla Fiorentina and whole Mediterranean Sea Bass filleted tableside. Additionally, find housemade pasta, hand-tossed pizza and daily risotto and seafood specials. Enjoy the wood-burning oven while you sit and eat at the bar. As close to Italy as you can get, you'll enjoy dining in this 1905 former warehouse loft space.

Soaring ceilings with theatrical lighting, blue velvet drapes surround the dining room. Sit near an open window and enjoy passersby in this vibrant River North neighborhood. Steps from the Merchandise Mart and a short walk over the river from the Loop. Feel the welcoming and warm hospitality of this Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurant & Best Italian Wine List recipient and Wine Spectator award winner. Outdoor patio open weather permitting. Whether you join us for a romantic date night or corporate event, we look forward to hosting you soon!

    We're embarrassed that we haven't eaten here in a while. It is as good as ever, if not better. The bread!! Light-as-air focacia and cheesy bread twists. The carpaccio de manzo was a work of art, as well as delicious. The whole branzino was cooked to perfection (my husband is an admitted snib when it comes to cooking branzino and he was impressed!) Very thin pappardelle with lovely cinghiale sauce. (I make my own and it's nowhere as good as this). We'll be back soon.

    This was one of our best experiences at a Chicago restaurant since our arrival 18 months ago. The level of ambiance and the sophisticated care given by the staff was very impressive. You walk in and you can feel the genuine warmth of the establishment. All the staff, not just the primary wait staff, are extremely well trained and were ready to assist, yet did not hover. Lyrique, our waitress, was very knowledgeable about Italian cuisine and wines, was helpful with selections, and quite personable. Each course was perfect in every detail (down to the chilled salads) and there was no rush, despite being fully booked for the holidays. It was merely marvelous in every regard, including reasonable prices. We will definitely return soonest.

    Coco Pazzo is one of my favorite restaurants but this time, we had a terrible waiter. He was surly, disappeared for a long time. I asked for more water 4 times before getting it. They were busy but for this level of restaurant, service was terrible. Food, as always, was great except my husband's salmon. He asked for med rare but it was almost like sushi! Again, waiter was MiA.
