Benvenuto and welcome to Pazzo, a new Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Halifax. Inspired by our love affair with Italian cuisine, we’ve beautifully transformed two floors of a Barrington Street heritage building into a cozy bar on the lower level and a gorgeous dining area upstairs. With a focus on fresh handmade pasta, meats and cheeses cured in-house, and wines that flow as freely as laughter around a family dinner table, we invite you to join us on a journey of Italy’s rich food culture and la dolce vita!

    The Valentine’s Day menu was not a hit, we would come back again for the standard menu.

    We sat down at 8:20, ate our appetizer at about 9:30 and did not get our mains until 10:40. Extremely long wait times and very poor service. Our server never checked on us the entire time we were waiting and never checked on us to see how our food was.

    From welcome at front entrance to goodnight and have a wonderful weekend, service was exceptional. Andrew’s food and wine menu knowledge, table presence and personality, exceptional. As a F&B General Manager my entire career, the entire experience was on point. Will be returning. Michael and Penny.

    We had a wonderful time at Pazzo last night! It was our second time dining there and we decided to take my sister out for her birthday. Prices are very reasonable, ambiance is perfect, service is very attentive. They also gave my sister a signed birthday card. 10/10!

    This was our first time visiting Pazzo, but it most certainly will not be our last. We ordered the January Italian Table menu, which was a 5 course dinner for two and it did not disappoint. The service was fantastic. The best dining experience we have had in Halifax! This restaurant is a must try!
    Pazzo Ristorante & EnotecaResponded on 29 January 2025
    Ciao Crystal, Grazie mille, for the 5 star review. It makes me very happy when I hear that someone has had a great first experience and express their exitement to return. Pls consider joining us for the Dine Around program in February. It will be delicious. We look forward to your next visit.

    This was our second time at Pazzo in the Bar downstairs during Happy Hour. We love the atmosphere and the service and the food. We also love the 25% off on the entire Bar Menu. It allows us to have a special time out without breaking the bank. Thank you
    Pazzo Ristorante & EnotecaResponded on 29 January 2025
    Ciao Catherine, Grazie mille for the 5 star review! Thank you, also for your repeat business. I'm glad that you find the happy hour a good value experience. You may also want to visit us on a Friday night as we have a dj from 8pm onwards with our happy hour from 9 to close.

    This was our first visit to Pazzo and we sat downstairs while there was a DJ playing music. It was a wonderful vibe, the food was fantastic and our service was amazing. Mary was so kind and good at her job. She was knowledgeable about the food and wine list and also took time to engage with us which we truly appreciated. Pazzo is lucky to have such wonderful people working with them.

    Ciao Krista, Thank you very much for the 5 star review. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your evening with us. Mary really is a wonderful server. I will be sure to share your review with her and the rest of our service team. We look forwar to your return!
