Pazzo Pastaria

Never Judge a book by its cover! I don't do many reviews but I just had to!!!Located in a modest corner of SA, pulling up I didn't expect much. But boy was I surprised! Service was superb, just enough when you need something! I didn't expect this kind of service in a "mom and pop" shop?!? Interior-wise it was a pleasant, cozy atmosphere! I was too shocked and distracted with my meal to remember the young lady's name or even what I ordered. But as surprised about the service, the food was even better! I am originally from Italy, grew up with many Italian families who went on to have successful Italian restaurants in California! Ate lots of good home made Italian foods! Came here because it was my wife's birthday and I totally dropped the bomb! This place totally made her night and saved me a night on the couch!Well, back to Pazzo's! First taste of the soup and it immediately brought me back! The taste was perfect! The food was delicious, made from scratch! I think I just found my spot for great Italian in SA! Buono! Tutto delizioso, grazie!

Friendly people! We arrived earlier than our reservation and they accommodated us anyway. Nice wine selection, the food was great, and pricing was very reasonable. Their entire staff exuded a welcomed, positive energy.

A++ on everything! Met another couple for dinner on a Wednesday night. MADE RESERVATIONS- yes, even on a Wednesday. This place fills UP! We sat in a cozy corner where we could enjoy our evening with friends. Our server was amazing. (I feel bad that I cannot remember her name! ) She made fabulous wine & dinner suggestions- and was so knowledgable on the entire menu. Attentiveness was on point. Everything we ate was delicious! All pastas are made fresh to order and WOW does that make a difference! Appetizers-Calamari with delicious dipping sauce, and Spin/Artichoke dip. Lasagna- huuge! And our friend really enjoyed his Chicken Parm. Husband really enjoyed his Buccatini con Salsiccia (+sausage & red pepper..) Excellent! We'll be back again!

Delicious every time! Great service and fresh food as always. Everything is made from scratch; the bread, the Caesar dressing, the pastas and sauces! Yum

Everything was amazing! Service and food was top notch. The atmosphere and very charming. This was the perfect date night!

Food was scrumptious! We went at lunch time, so I wasn't able to try the calamari which I was super bummed about but I'll definitely be back for dinner! And next time, I won't make the mistake of getting the small bowl of pasta either LOL. The price was definitely affordable considering the quality of the food! The noodles are so delicious! My partner got the gemilli alla Milano & it was to die for!!! Service was fine. I appreciated the owner/manager(?) coming by to see how we were enjoying our meal. The place is quaint, dimmed lighting, and romantic for a causal date night with exceptional food!

Food was amazing! Such a cute little spot, family owned. We had the arancini which was great, a little less crispy than I'm used to but delightful. Then we split the gemelli Milano and the chicken parm. I asked for the chicken parm to be spicy and the waitress said the chef loves to make the food extra spicy, which ended up being amazing! Finally finished off with a tiramisu which was a nice large serving, however we were just so full by that point. Definitely check this place out! Service was slow but it was such a calm dinner we had no issues

Another great meal at Pazzo Pastaria. Lauren took great care of us this evening. They have a very nice wine list. I like that the pasta dishes come in small and large sizes. Homemade pasta is best eaten right after being cooked perfectly al dente. My wife started with the Feature Salad, which included pine nuts, cheese, pears, and greens. I had the small Caesar salad. Both salads were tasty with just the right amount of dressing. My wife's entree was the Uptown Cluck and it was huge. You need a big appetite for what they are throwing down. Crispy chicken breast, aged prosciutto, fontina cheese, whole grain Dijon white wine cream sauce with buttered fettuccine, roasted mushrooms and fresh green beans. The crust on the chicken was perfectly cooked and chicken inside was hot, tender, and flavorful. I had the Gemelli alla Milano which was Sliced chicken, roasted cremini mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted garlic cream sauce, Romano cheese, fresh gemelli pasta. Very good and the small was enough to fill me up.

Everything was great, cannot recommend enough.Service was the perfect level of attentive and very very nice.The atmosphere was also fantastic for a night out. We started with the autumn crostini and the garlic, mushrooms and tomato were cooked perfectly.I had lasagna bolognese and my girlfriend had the primavera. So so good. You can tell everything is made from scratch in house.I also got the sparkling strawberry lemonade and it was perfectly sweet.No complaints on the coffee afterwards (although I do wish they had alternative milks for them but after eating lasagna I'm not in a spot to be worried about lactose lol)

Stopped by for lunch and the reviews don't lie! Hands down the best Italian food in San Antonio! Great service as well!
