Even as a last minute decision, Pazzo Pomodoro was THE BEST decision! John Michael was amazing at the bar and I will definitely be back. The pizza was delicious and I felt taken care of like family.

I really had high hopes for this place and was looking forward to it because of all the good reviews. Upon entering, I was immediately turned off. The place itself seems kind of dirty, stuffy & dusty. We ordered arancini, which I was very excited to try, but I'm not sure why they tasted strange. They tasted like they were either made a while ago and frozen and have freezer burn or tasted kind of soapy. For our entrees we ordered rigatoni with eggplant (added meatballs) and my husband had a pesto shrimp dish (I don't remember the name). These were surprisingly pretty good. I liked the big chunks of eggplant but I do think there was too much sauce. I also ordered a cocktail, it was their Palermo and I'm so sorry, it was horrible. We had to ask the waiter to take it back and I just got a glass of wine. Overall I just really don't think it was worth it, each of our dishes were $30. I know people really love this place, this was just my experience.

Very interesting experience here. We walked in before the kitchen closed maybe 10 minutes before so we were instructed to sit near the bar and order off the bar menu that would have been fine if I was not vegan and the bar menu was very limited and it's options. At first we had a server who was clearly displeased with our diverse group. We were granted a new server who was much nicer. He was very helpful and insured that I got some good vegan food. Ended up eating the fried artichokes which were wonderful. I just wish that our first server and customers were not so rude and did not stare at us the entire time.

I've dined at a Pazzo numerous times - finally remembered to write a review! It's definitely a favorite in my family for casual friendly Italian; especially their gluten free pizza. I love the Melanzane Parmigiana e Capellini (eggplant Parmesan) as well as their salads. One minor issue: I feel like the salads (especially the house salad) are overpriced for the serving size - but that's certainly not a deal breaker. For dessert, the baci are always excellent!

Nice ambiance makes you feel like you're in Italy. Service was nice. Food served hot. Good portions. I had calamari for appetizers and it was bit overcooked but still good. I had swordfish for main meal Nicely prepared, the topping was superb. Gelato for dessert. All good definitely will return to try other things.

Service great. Ambiance cozy and welcoming. Food mixed. The quality of the food was great. Fresh ingredients. We had two salads which were both a lovely combination of flavors. The pizza had an excellent crust with loads of cheese yum. Our pasta dishes were a little on the bland side and it wasn't hot. Barely warm. I'd return for the pizza; however, the tomato sauces to me were disappointing. The desserts were both perfect and not overly sweet. Excellent

We go here fairly regularly and enjoy the food and service. I always say this place is like Dolce Vita in Fairfax City. Pazzo has a more extensive menu, but the food quality is very good. The restaurant has a nice side room to get you out of the hustle and bustle of the open kitchen and the Bar area in the back offers a pleasant adult dining experience.

It was a typical Saturday night but when I asked for regular cheese not vegan cheese I got told how busy it was. It wasn't a huge difference from sprinkling one cheese rather than the other and I wasn't sure what I was getting since it was so busy he couldn't promise the change. I ultimately received the regular mozzarella cheese. My husband and friend both had the gnocchi and my daughter the pasta. Everything was fine but nothing was great or anywhere near exceptional. The bread was ok and served with butter, Parmesan cheese and oil. I was never asked if we wanted a soda or anything to drink but water was on the table. The dessert menu didn't look great and nothing gluten free for me so it was time to pay and go.
