Excellent food and tremendous service! Staff was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. The carpaccio was light but decadent. The fresh fettuccine with clams had a little hot pepper kick. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves Italian food!

Coco Pazzo is a gem in the heart of Chicago ✨ From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for a great dining experience. The candlelit tables and rustic decor created a cozy yet elegant atmosphere ️

The Chicago Restaurant Week menu was a perfect way to experience the restaurant. Every course was beautifully prepared with fresh ingredients and rich flavors. The meal was balanced, satisfying, and ended on a sweet note with a decadent dessert

Service was attentive and thoughtful, making the experience even better. Coco Pazzo is the perfect spot for an authentic Italian meal in the city. Highly recommend checking it out, especially during Chicago Restaurant Week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Got seated on time. Excellent friendly service. Very warm elegant ambiance and Fantastic food. For starters, had Arbabietole salad. Loved it. Lots of choices of wine bottle selection. Had bottle of Tuscon red wine.

Ordered Penne All Arrabbiata – so delicious and a must for spicy buds!! Melanzane Parmigiana, the baked eggplant was out of this world! Excellent! Had Margarita pizza. Very tasty. The dessert Profiteroles was different and delicious. Well presented with chocolate sauces. Should try. I plan to go back. Highly recommended for a wonderful Italian Tuscan dinner fare!!

I really enjoy dining at this landmark restaurant. It has been part of the Italian scene for a long time and not by chance. The quality of the food and service is very high and attentive. I love the sea bass and roasted vegetables- so healthy as well. Very nice selection of exclusively Italian wines. And the management is on it. Last night upon leaving there was a delay with the valet but drawn to the hosts attention, the GM personally got involved. It left me feeling valued as their guest. Don’t miss this very comfortable and delicious dining experience.

Stopped in with friends for a nightcap and sat at the bar. Lovely, warm atmosphere and very friendly, welcoming service. The bartender, Katie P., made the best French martini I’ve ever had — absolutely incredible. Can’t wait to be back for dinner.

I come here for a civilised meal without loudmusic, with tables not too close together. My pulpo arrosto was delicious. The whole filited Branzino fresh and fileted table side.
I like the Italian Manhattan. I was happy with a glass of Gavi with my fish. $325 Inc service for 2. Two cocktails two courses 3 glasses wine.
Service is classic as the maitre d’ and team are unchanged for a couple of decades.

The food was good, not great. However, the service was bad – the waiter was awful, although the mgmnt team was trying to help. The waiter seemed in a rush with very little patience. We had 3 customers that were vegetarian and he was rude when reflected poorly on me (the vendor) for picking the restaurant.

Regarding food – salmon was cooked perfectly, but the customers complained the gnocchi was bland and ravioli too sweet. My espresso martini was a disaster – there was thick foam on top I had to navigate to get to the drink.

The Rigatoni alla buttera was perfection on so many levels. I also loved the cesaer salad. The flavors were amazing. The vibe of the restaurant was Classy Italian. Established and well trained wait staff. The waiter spoke Italian as well which made me feel like I was in Italy. Great wine list. Wonderful experience overall.

I had a reservation for 9:00 PM and arrived right on time. I was told the wait would be about 15 minutes, but I wasn’t seated until 9:36 PM, which felt more like waiting in the walk-in line than having a reservation. When I asked about it, the response made it seem like this delay was normal, which was frustrating.

What also made the experience uncomfortable was that I felt a noticeable difference in how guests were treated. I was dressed business casual, yet it seemed like other customers were prioritized. That may not have been intentional, but it definitely affected how welcome I felt.

The restaurant itself is nice, and I still tipped well, but better handling of reservations and more consistent, respectful treatment of all guests would really improve the experience.

Everything was delightful and the complimentary breads are a sweet surprise. We had a great time and thanks to our server’s excellent suggestions, enjoyed every part of our dinner. The fish stew does not disappoint, it’s very filling and full of flavor. Highly suggest the octopus appetizer.
