Pazzo

Wow. So surprised at the one and two star reviews! We started with the most tender calamari. Although the marinara sauce was a bit bland, but a touch of salt made it just right. My husband had the veal with peppers and said it was so delicious and tender. The mashed potatoes were perfect. I had the salmon Diablo which was also delicious. Our salad was beautiful! Dressing was served on the salad and it was a nice amount. We ended our delicious meal with a piece of tiramisu. Our server Matt was right on! Very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. Our appetizer, salad and entrees were timed perfectly. I love salad and did not mind that my entrée was served while I was still eating it! No problem it let my dinner cool to just the right temp for me to eat it comfortably.
I wonder sometimes if people just don’t appreciate relaxing and taking time to eat a wonderful and beautifully prepared meal. A wonderful atmosphere. So relaxing. The chairs are super comfortable too!!! We will certainly be back.
Give it a try. Don’t always go by the reviews.
A bottle of Riesling, calamari app, two delicious entrees and dessert for $ 92!
Well with it.

I don’t understand the 2 star reviews. Lunch today was very good, especially the thin crust pizza and the wedding soup was superb.

I would have given less than 1 star if possible. I’m the farthest thing from a picky eater /​diner, but my experience at Pazzo was horrible. I should have sensed something was amiss when I drove up and there few cars in the parking lot (at 7:00). I asked the hostess if they were open and she said yes, and that «everyone» was in the bar. The dining room was completely empty and the hostess guided me to the bar where there were only 4 other people. We were handed menus by the bar tender/​waitress and then asked if we wanted any apps. Since we were just handed the menu, we asked for a few minutes. Strangely enough there aren’t any drinks noted on the menu (beer, wine, cocktails) and we were never asked if we wanted any. (Good thing after reading the prices from other reviews). We passed on apps and ordered 3 entrees. To say my Rigatoni Bolognese was bland would be too generous. It had absolutely NO FLAVOR at all. I even had one of my friends try it and she was surprised but not shocked as her salmon salad was just as bad. Even though there were only 3 booths occupied at this point (9 total people), our waitress/​bartender never stopped by to see how things were (although she did a good job keeping the water glasses full). After she saw that we were done with our dinners, she stopped by to see if we wanted dessert. She must not have been surprised that we passed as she had our completed check ($ 65 w/​no apps or drinks) with her and handed it to us without even a thanks for stopping by. Terribly food, terrible service, too many other dining options– I’ll be shocked if the doors aren’t closed by the end of the year.

HIGHLIGHT OF THIS REVIEW IS: 2 people — no alcohol — no leftovers to take home and a $ 72 bill!
I love Italian food and was excited to try this new restaurant. First no one greeted you and you had to wait for someone to come to the door. There were only 2 other customers in there, and now I know why! I ordered pasta and my friend had chicken. I asked for a Caesar salad vs the house salad, and the waitress said it was a couple dollars more, which I was ok with. Our waitress was NOT very attentive. We were served the Caesar salad and it was HUGE, but had no dressing on it! So we had to hunt someone down to get this. Our food came, and I have to say it was delicious (the only good thing about this visit), but then we got the bill…$ 72!!! Are you kidding me? Here, the Caesar salads were $ 9 EACH! That’s a far cry from a couple dollars more for a salad that is supposed to be included in your meal! The iced teas were $ 3/​ea! Sadly, this place is way too overpriced for what you get and we will not be going back.

We had a great experience for dinner a few days ago! The service was wonderful and our server was very knowlegeable about the menu. I am gluten free and my daughter is egg and dairy free and she was able to guide us to the best choices. The kitchen appears to be careful about food allergies and cross contaimination. From our zucchini appitizer, family style salad, entrees and wine, everything was beautifully presented and tasted great. The courses were well paced and we had plenty of time to enjoy the warm, remodeled space with tables with white tableclothes. We will be back!

My wife and i went there for the first time on Saturday night, decided to sit at the bar. We waited for 5 to 10 minutes without being acknowledged by the bartenders, even though it wasn’t very busy. When a bartender walked by us without even saying hello, we decided to get a table.
A waiter named Brandon took care of us, but his service was mediocre. He had to be reminded that we had ordered a second drink, the food was just warm, and not very good. (Chicken asiago and veal marsala) He never asked us if everything was ok after the food was delivered, didn’t ask us if we wanted dessert or coffee, and didn’t even say thank you after he returned the check after the payment was made.
Overall, we were very disappointed with our experience at pazzo. We will not return or recommend it to our friends. It was overpriced for the quality of the food and service. Olive garden would be a much better value.

My daughter and I decided to stop in one night before going to the mall. The place has completely transformed compared to the last tenant. The décor and ambiance is intimate yet friendly. My daughter enjoyed her meal so much that she wanted her 8^th birthday dinner there. The menu is extensive, consistent, and has gluten free options. The food is moderately priced but you receive large portions making it well worth it.

So glad Pazzo is back. Now my family has a place to go where we can get delicious gluten free options for some of us and incredible pizza for others. Every time we’ve eaten here since they reopened we have been treated like family. Our biggest issue is we now have to wait just a minute to be seated because they’re busy but even so the food arrives fresh and hot from the kitchen without waiting.

Ate here last night (11÷22÷15) with my wife. I have to agree with most of the other reviewers in here… Bland. Just very Bland… The price point certainly doesn’t match what one would expect. When you drop $ 20 for farfalle ala vodka with chicken, I would expect something with a lot more flavor. I would also expect pieces of Prosciutto as the menu described and a whole chicken breast be used. The salad was good, dressing was OK. For an Italian restaurant at this price-​point, one would have expected some nice olive-​oil with pepper and cheese for bread, not hard butter. Also, the gravy was very sweet (too sweet for my taste). The atmosphere was nice and I think the place has potential; but at this price-​point and bland food with so many other good Italian places around, I will not be back.

My fiancé and I really liked this place. Huge step up from Stonepepper Grill. Our server was very attentive and the food was quick and on point. Tried the bruschetta, chicken parm and cajun salmon. Every dish was good and the chicken parm was better than many spots in the area. The one negative was the hostesses attitudes. They seemed stressed and frustrated that they were busy at 7pm in a Friday night which should make them happy, right?

I really don’t have too much to say other than the fact that I sent my food back and decided to just grab something to eat somewhere else. Four of us went on a Friday night and were seated almost immediately. Ordered drinks and 23 minutes later they show up. Dinner was bland and not even italian food…
Pesto should at least have pine nuts and basil right? Mine was tortellini with olive oil and parsley. The service was slow and even after we complained no one came over to say a word or find out what they could have done better.
Oh, and a kettle one martini was 12.75 For ketel one and some vermouth. WOW. There is no way that the mgmt cares about this place based on all the other reviews.

Great food! Thoroughly impressed with bolognese, manicotti, and veal. Meatballs were soft and plenty of flavor. Sauce was a little too sweet for my liking, but still good. Service needs tightened up, but they’re still new.

So far all the reviews have nailed it– flavorless and cold food. Four of us sat down and ordered Cabernet. After a few minutes the waiter stopped by to have us remind him what beer we had ordered… We placed our order for food and he brought out a «family style» salad. Bad lettuce with a couple of poor cut onions slices. There was 4 of us and they served the table of 2 next to us the same salad. We asked for me and the snotty waiter slammed a bowl of just lettuce on the table a few minutes later. The funny part was they give you a gallon of dressing per person. We decided that since it was the new place in town we would order a few apps so that we could try it out. But, using some caution we stuck to the basics — Calamari and Fried Zucchini. Both were dripping grease and had zero flavor what so ever. Luckily I had lots of the Lemom Basil dressing left from my salad to give the Calamari the citrus it needed (never been served Calamari without a lemon to squeeze on top). The Zucchini was so soaked in grease none of us could eat it. They didn’t clear off the table so at this point we are overloaded and there was no room for the bread that was brought to the table. Unfortunately we made room for it and it was the most stale bread I have ever had. Perhaps I was mistaken and they brough us croutons to go with our lettuce?
I’ll wrap up with the entrees. I had ordered the «lightly breaded» veal chop with arugala and they served a disgusting piece of veal with a heavy and burned breading. No seasoning was involved. I opted for the starch and I was hoping it would be a pasta but instead if was a bowl of red skinned potatoes that had been given a butter bath. I literally poured the butter from the top before I could even tell what they had served me. I could have used these potatoes to apply wallpaper the place – gross. My wife was served cold, undercooked pasta and shrimp without any seasoning at all. It was supposed to be «diablo» but zero spice. She had two bites and was done. One guest ordered a side of chicken to go with his pasta and 5 minutes after his pasta was brought out they showed up with a bowl of shredded chicken. a literal WTF moment. The last meal was salmon and just to wrap this up was an awful piece of fish with no flavor — same butter drenched gross potatoes.
We were honest with the waiter when he asked how everything was but he was more interested in being condescending in between smoke breaks. The manager does not have the skill level to deal with this type of complaint. She tried to make it better by taking the chicken off of the bill and offering a free desert. And after all of this our bill was almost $ 200… what a joke. I hope the place that goes in here next is better — shouldn’t be long.

The perfect word for this place is: bland.
I had the eggplant Parmesan, which had too much breading & was bland.
Another person in our group had the Greek pizza, which was thin & crispy & bland.
On the bright side (I guess), the kids liked their chicken fingers because, hey, kids like their food bland!

Overpriced and flavroless. This place tries really hard to seem fancy, but falls far short.
The bread was fantastic, but it was paired with ice cold, solid butter. The salad, as others mentiones, had very little nearly-​flavorless dressing.
I had the chicken marsala ($ 18). The three chicken tenders that comprised it were tender. The sauce, however, was a mess. It was as if they splashed some marsala wine on the plate, and then dumped the chicken onto the plate, oil and all, straight from the sautee pan. It was sweet, watery, spotted with oil, and devoid of any kind of seasoning. Oh, it had a few sliced mushrooms, too. I chose pasta with white sauce for the side. Bad move. It was pasta tossed in plain white sauce — no cheese, no garlic, not even a bit of salt.
My wife had the shrimp scampi ($ 22). It came with 4 or 5 shrimp that were actually quite big. They weren’t overcooked. The sauce, again, was a watery mess, a bunch of butter quickly thrown together with some white wine. The whole thing was topped with *garlic powder*. I don’t think any of it was seasoned with salt or anything else. She chose broccoli for her side. Aside from the bread, the broccoli was the best part of the meal.
Come here if you’re looking to spend $ 20 a plate for food that’s below even Olive Garden’s standards. The service here was slow and unenthusiastic, and I’m willing to bet that none of the cooks have ever actually tasted the food they’re sending out.
I only gave it two stars because the food did not make me sick.

I completely agree with Kimberly said. BLAND CITY!!! Hopefully my dogs will like the leftovers. But I doubt it.

Save your $ 22+/ plate & take yourself over to Giant Eagle’s Café.
It took over 30 minutes for the food to arrive at our table. The portions were generous, however nothing was seasoned properly. Shrimp Scampi was covered in garlic powder sitting in a bowl filled with microwaved butter. The broccoli was the best part of my meal. They were cooked to perfection. The salad that’s given lacked any dressing. The dressing was bland. The beer is over priced. $ 9 for any craft beer. I could see if they had a 10% DuClaw on draft for Pazzo’s to have a reason to charge that much.
The service is depressing. Servers don’t smile here or seem enthusiastic. Perhaps it’s because they feel guilty for being the poor souls to serve below average food for such a sky-​high price.
The décor is nice. That’s it. Now save yourself money and go to Chick-​fil-​A next door.

This restaurant looks lovely. There are beautiful paintings on the walls. The tables are set nicely. You are greeted kindly. The servers are very nice. The décor/​environment and the service is the only reason I can give one star. It was all downhill after that.
I say all the time that of you can’t get the basics right you can’t get anything beyond the basics right. So we ordered two basic dishes-​fettuccine Alfredo and Spaghetti & Meatballs. We chose to skip appetizers but a family style salad was brought to out table. It included a few cucumbers, a few grape tomatoes, some purple onions and a few croutons. There salad was cold but there was nothing memorable about it. We were also served 2 slices of bread. Again, nothing that stood out.
The entrees were brought out while we were still eating our salad. It was awkward. When we went to eat our entrees they were room temperature. The meatballs were over cooked, dry, and didn’t seem to have any seasoning. The spaghetti sauce tasted like tomatoes and not much else. I was extremely disappointed. I also tasted the fettuccine. It too lacked flavor. The fettuccine noodles were inconsistent. Some were cooked to the correct consistency but some were hard.
We skipped dessert because we didn’t want to take the chance of eating anything else that lacked flavor.
It’s safe to say that there won’t be a second visit.

Came here trying a new place. Literally! Just opened two days ago and well worth it! Warmly welcomed at the front by a nice hostess, and we’re told we could even have a seat in the bar. Since we were interested in the Pirates game, it worked out, they have a few TV’s in the bar for such purposes.
We ordered our drinks; Prosecco & Malbec. Both by the glass. Our server gave us big glasses of water with out drinks so A+ there.
The bread came out first and it was awesome. Perfectly warmed, large slices, crunchy crusted Italian bread that tasted like it was made in house. Served with ambient temperature butter (another pet peeve of mine is ice cold butter) so A+
The salad came out next and was the first area where we’d recommend a little change, maybe a little larger for sharing between two. But it was flavorful, cold, and dressed just right. The fresh cracked pepper added to it so overall: B
Next our entrees: I had the Three-​Cheese Lasagna my partner had the Gambellini Fra Diavolo (sorry if I misspelled it.) they came out at just the right temperature and at the same time. I tried a bite of his dish and the Diavolo was mild, but with a «back-​of-​the-​throat» heat which is perfect. So: «A» for his dish. My lasagna was rather impressive, and I didn’t realize the recipe was total cheese lasagna, but it was delicious. The only downside would be a personal preference of a little more herbs or spice in the cheese mixture. The tomato sauce was slightly sweet and tasted of homemade. So well worth trying!
Overall the reason behind the 4-​star review is only for the slight downsides, but again, could just be my personal preference.
I highly recommend coming here to try it out! Great ambience and extensive menu.
