Pazzo!

I always make it a point to come here when I’m in Naples. Service, food and atmosphere are all amazing. Can’t go wrong with anything you order. I do recommend the butternut squash ravioli appetizer it is the best ravioli I’ve ever had. Everything from appetizers to desserts are great, and very generous portions.

Too busy for their own good. We sat outside (8pm reservation) and it took 15 minutes for anyone to come up to us to take a drink order or even give us water. Manager approached us and offered a free drink but never took it off the bill. My wife had the clams and linguine which was pretty good. I had the veal ($ 47) and it was thin and more breading than meat. Definitely not worth the $$$. The service was sub par at best and would not go back. There are many better restaurants on 5^th ave to try.

All the food was prefect. Great spot for a group of people. Amazing Chicken Parmesan! Highly recommended!

Reserved outdoor seating at 8pm. Got seated inside at 8:45pm. Horrible selfish service. Avoid this restaurant if you’re into fine dining.

Went to Pazzo last night, never to return again, We have been to this restaurant a few times, and it seems to be going downhill. Food is now mediocre, wait staff inexperienced, but the prices keep going up. For appetizers, do not order the antipasti plate. It is a complete rip-​off. For $ 26 you will get about $ 3.of food — deli meat, a few slices of cheese and some olives. Pasta dishes were soupy, and doused in sauce. The wine list is super expensive, even for what I consider to be moderately prices wines.
I think that, because of the popular location on 5^th Avenue, and the fact that restaurants like this can draw a crowd they believe they can be mediocre and people will still come. Well, you don’t have to because there are so many restaurant in this town that the diner can be discriminating. In short, there are places with better food and better prices. Start looking elsewhere.

Our waiter, Adriano, was superb! The veal piccata and the salmon were cooked to perfection. We liked the ambience of romantic
music in this fine Italian restaurant. We will return.

First time guests with guaranteed repeat visits! The atmosphere was AMAZING! The food was divine! The service was EXCELLENT! Sharon & her staff are global masterpieces! Bravo for Pazzo!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED PAZZO!!!
Dined on a Friday night during high season in Naples. The restaurant was packed.
We had a reservation, and got seated within 5 minutes of our reservation time. Impressive.
Great server, Shawn. Really good bar drinks. Nice wine list with options at all price points and quantities (by the glass, by the quartino, and bottles).
Food was most excellent. We would re-​order every single thing we had. The Grouper Picatta especially deserves a shout-​out for being outstanding.
Great desserts, including a very nice tira misu.
Loved it. Will return… enthusiastically… soon…

Christina at the bar is amazing. She always greets me with a smile and cheerful attitude. I absolutely love the atmosphere, the staff, and the manager. Everybody is on top of their game and makes your dining experience exceptional.

Excellent from a friendly and conscientious staff to excellent presentation and preparation. Good was a delicious experience full of freshness and quality. Highly recommend.

Delicious dinner in Naples. Great location. If it weren’t for the price, we would’ve gone back a couple times while we were in town.

One of my favorite restaurants is Pazzo Having been there several times the food has always been excellent. On our last visit we had a very new waiter who didn’t know much about each of the items. My favorite thing to do is let the waiter or waitress’s order for me and surprise me with their pick.
Because this waiter was new, I was left to fend for myself and did just fine. It’s not inexpensive to eat here but hey you are on fifth Avenue in Naples Florida.

We always make it a point to stop at Pazzo’s at least once every time we are in Naples. The food is delicious, portions are generous, and we have always had good service. We have never been disappointed.
Although I am not a seafood person, others in my family are and have always been pleased. I personally love the Chicken Parmesan. Everything I have had has been flavorful and presented well. As with anything on Fifth Avenue, it’s a little pricey.
P. S. — They have gorgeous bathroom sinks.

Not only is the staff incredible, the food is absolutely amazing! We had the mussels for an appetizer and the grouper piccata for our main course. I’m not a fish person but it was very mild and so flavorful, I knew it was fresh fish!

Great food and atmosphere. Short rib meatballs as an appetizer are delicious. Great Fifth Ave spot.

Fantastic food served in an elegantly decorated atmosphere. Sat at the bar and john served me with great attentiveness and even better menu recommendations. Highly recommend!

Yes, I gave Pazzo 5 stars. I would give them 10 if I could. — that’s how great this restaurant is.
The ambiance is romantic and relaxing and modern. We arrived with friends who are also residents of Naples. Our friends are foodies, and highly recommended this place.
The food was the best I’ve had in Naples. Campiello’s is the only restaurant that is comparable. I ordered the Parmesan chicken, and it was very flavorful and very beautifully presented. Everyone else at my table talked nonstop about how delicious their food was. Everything was very fresh and cooked to perfection.
I can go on and on about how perfect everything was, but the cherry on the sundae was our server, Milos.
Milos was punctual, quick witted and knowledgable. He made perfect suggestions as far as wine, what my husband would love, and the perfect appetizers. He was correct in everything he suggested… Not because he was on autopilot, but because he took the time to really converse with us and get to know us. We truly enjoyed our dining experience that much more because of Milos. He even showed us photos of his newborn son :)
Milos surprised us by bringing us shots of limoncello. As if that wasn’t enough, he then brought us shots of something chocolatey. So good! We were giggling and having so much fun because we truly felt like we were in restaurant heaven!
We decided to share a couple of desserts– which were also pure perfection!
If you only go to one restaurant in Naples– this is the one! I cannot wait to not only go back, but to introduce ALL of my friends and family to this jewel!

The meal started off a little shaky with our waitress disappearing after taking drink orders from 2 people at our table of 7 (the rest of us had ordered drinks at the bar before we sat down). After what seemed like an eternity, one at the table tried to flag down the captain/​manager. He ignored us, ran the other way and within a minute, our new waiter, Rob, showed up. He knew we had a couple of drinks pending and even knew what they were. Normally, this kind of start would have ruined the night, but we soldiered on.
The food turned out to be awesome and the service perfect from then on. I had some kind of pasta dish with crabmeat and an oh so delicious sauce. It might be a tad too sweet for some of you, but I had to stop myself from licking the plate.
Rough start, great ending… just go!

The service here deserves 5 stars; Adriano was a very attentive, personable waiter. The manager (or possibly owner) was very nice as well & stopped by to see how we were enjoying our meal.
Our appetizers were perfection (pictured). For dinner (we were already stuffed before it arrived), I had the Grouper and my husband had the Sea Bass. Great presentation — four star flavor.
Over all, a little pricey but this is the spot for a special occasion or romantic dinner.

Pazzo Pazzo Pazzo, I love thee. Not as much as I love my girlfriend, whom I love more then anything, and not as much as I love bacon, which I love more than any other food, and not as much as I love a good buffet, because who doesn’t like gluttonous variety, and not as much as I love a good steak, which is to die for and possibly, be buried with. However, I love thee all the same.
It was tough to give Pazzo five stars. This was my first time eating in Naples in years, and there are a tremendous number of Italian restaurants. So how do you give an Italian place 5 stars with no local basis for comparison? I mean, if I went to 2 or 3 of the multitude of Italian places, all within a few blocks, I may find that Pazzo sucks by comparison. Well, if that happens, I’ll amend this review. But I find it hard to believe that it wouldn’t hold its own against any of the other Italian restaurants.
Its such a cute place, too. Beautiful décor, comfortable tables, very romantic. Servers singing happy birthday to people in Italian. Everything about this place screams awesome.
We sat at the bar and had a glass of wine because our table wasn’t ready at our reservation time. When sat, the service was fantastic, the bread was delicious (and I’m sorry, but bread service can make or break that 5^th star), and the food was fantastic.
We both got the Linguine E Crab — blue and king crab in a linguine pasta with a spicy marinara sauce. The sauce was delicious — not too spicy, though we did end up telling the table sat next to us not to get it because the woman ordering it doesn’t like any spice at all — chunks of crab, and it leaves you with a need to have more. Some might say that its because the portion was too small, but it wasn’t. It was just that good. The only complaint I will give the dish is that there were a few pieces of shell in there, and that really isn’t acceptable. You should be able to remove the crab meat from the shell without getting it into the dish. That said, I enjoyed this meal so much, that even if I deduct ½ star for it, I’m still rounding to 5.
We finished the night by splitting a dessert. My girlfriend left it up to me, and I surprised her by choosing this kind of fresh fruit tower — layers of light cookie/​cracker with fresh cream and raspberries and blackberries and strawberries. Oh my god it was good. The thing didn’t last 2 minutes before we polished it off.
So, I will say it again, its possible there are just as good or better Italian places in Naples — I wouldn’t know. I do know the people that gave this place bad reviews simply had the bad experience exception to a good restaurant. Pazzo is well worth your time.
