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!

    Our second time going here, I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. Scotty was our waiter he was such a sweet man, so accommodating overall amazing waiter. All the staff are such positive people they are such helpful people all have smiles on their faces. The food was phenomenal I don’t think I’ve ever had such good pasta, the drinks were so good, and it was our first time getting desert here we got something with limoncello (sorry I forget the name) one of the best desserts I’ve had and I’m not saying this to be biased. I will be coming back multiple times this is becoming my “go to” restaurant and restaurant to tell friends and family about!!!!

    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!

    Had one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. Had free coat check, pushed in and pulled out your chair for you! The service was top tier anything we needed someone was there to help us. Out waiter was amazing I think his name was Andrew. And finally the food 10/10 best Italian food I’ve ever had in Halifax!! Would recommend to anyone

    Overall it's beautiful inside. It's had been awhile since I'd been and brought 3 new people with me. I found the food and atmosphere had gone down hill since, was expecting it to be busier vibe for a Saturday night.
