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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alberto made our dining experience absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel like family. His knowledge of the menu was outstanding—he gave the best recommendations, and every dish was perfection. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and he made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you’re dining here, ask for Alberto—you won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait to come back.

Food was great, although they could use a lesson in deboning the sea bass. My friend found multiple bones. The experience was less than satisfactory as our server only came to our table twice. After we received our app, she never came back to our table. Others cleared our plates and brought out our entrees. When you spend over $250 you expect more from staff.

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.

Never a disappointment to have a meal at Coco Pazzo. On this most recent occasion, our server was sensational, the food sublime and the noise level was so small that conversation was easy. I am a fan.

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.

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!

Our expectations were blown away. The moment you walk in, it's so beautiful and smells like Italian heaven. The open wood fired grill with chefs working in harmony all around it was fascinating to watch. The food is out of this world. It was as if we were transported to Italy for a moment in time. I can't imagine a better place to dine in Chicago with friends and family, to celebrate or to impress a date.
