Reviews for Coco Pazzo in Chicago, IL
I've had the pleasure of visiting this place a few times now and the service is impeccable! The appetizers are a great size for... sharing with a group. The menu is dynamic so everyone can find something wonderful to enjoy for dinner. Definitely worthvisiting! Read more
From the service to the cuisine, drinks, and atmosphere, Coco Pazzo has it nailed. They are so polite and accommodating. Always... make sure that your table is clear of finished plates and glasses along with your water filled. We accidentally made areservation at their cafe not knowing there were multiple locations, and the host said they would serve us at this location nota problem. The food was also devoured by both of us and our children. They also gave the children complimentary tea cookies aswell. I will definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for top notch. Read more
Apps were very good (charcuterie board, margarita pizza, grilled squid). The steak I had was severely lacking seasoning and the... gnocchi was overcooked. In a group of 10, the service slowed down after apps and drinks were not refreshed unless asked. For themoney I would not go back for dinner. Read more
Aesthetically pleasing restaurant with excellent food and great service. For an appetizer, we had a mousse pate that was quite... tasty. Additionally, we had a porcini mushroom risotto that was out of this world. We also shared a porterhouse steak which wasmore than enough for two people. It was cooked perfectly. If you like Italian food, I highly recommend this restaurant. Read more

Torchio -our haven for reliably sublime fresh pasta- was closed on Mondays so we looked for a decent Italian restaurant nearby,... and found Coco Pazzo. It was on almost all 'top 3 Italian restaurants in Chicago' lists, and the food looked excellent, so wethought we'd give it a try. Service was excellent and timely, with our meals being prepared and delivered with perfect timing.Starting with the appetizers, my chicken liver pate was excellent. Super smooth and endulging, and came with sweet pickled andsoft grilled onions which complemented it nicely. I only wish it had more crostini. Even if I very very generously spread thepate onto the 4 provided crostinis, I had more than half the jar left. They need to double the number of crostini it comes with.As for my wife's grilled octopus appetizer, wow. My mind was blown. Octopus is very tricky to cook, and even in Portugal somesmaller places will fail to get rid of all the chewiness, but here, the Octopus was crisp on the outside, melt in your mouthsoft on the inside. Just perfectly cooked. For the main dish, I went for the squid ink seafood pasta, which tasted very freshand subtle, with no extra favors diluting the taste of seafood it came with. It was very relaxing to eat, and I only wish thefresh pasta was a little thicker to have a little more bite to it. My wife went for the Branzino Al Forno. Again, very subtle,fresh, with a pure taste of fish but without the fishiness, with soft melt-in-your-mouth bites. Just perfect. We only felt badthat they took out a big chunk of meat off of it because they didn't want us picking out bones even though we were happy to dothat if given the choice. Finally, my Pistachio Gelato was the only disappointment of the night. Artificially 'radioactive'green, with almost no real pistachio, heavy on the sugar, and not as creamy or endulging as Gelato is supposed to be, thishomespun Gelato was a clear tier below any other pistachio Gelato we've had elsewhere e.g. Spacca Napoli Read more
Like WOW! Amazing service, incredible food & great wine list with some older vintages. Our table side ceasar salad was hands... down the BEST one I've ever had & believe me I've had them everywhere. Still trying to figure out how that only cost $12.00?Definitely, will be back! Read more
I was so hungry, and choose the closest place to my recent moved apartment, and that was the best one I could have made. Food... was delicious, atmosphere even better. I enjoyed watching how chefs are working around oven. Read more
