Coco Pazzo Cafe

I understand the stresses of post COVID FOOD SERVICE, but I cannot accept the poor quality of the risotto last night. We ordered it with salmon. The...

Had the Caesar Salad and Meatballs and it was amazing. The salad was tasty but the meat balls were off the chart. Wanted to lick the plate clean.

Stopped for dinner after a conference and had the gnocchi. It was really good. Was a little surprised that for the price there was no salad or even bread....

Our experience was fine until it was time to pay. We paid the tab with cash and asked for an extra 20 to be split into ten dollar bills, but our change was 20 dollars short. My boyfriend asked our waiter about the issue and explained that he was sure he had given five 20s. We figured it was a simple mistake. Our waiter immediately said that nothing like this had ever happened at the restaurant before, that his manager had done the transaction, and that he didn’t steal any money. He then took out his wallet and threw a 20 dollar bill of his own at the table for us to keep. Our waiter was talking rudely to the other staff members in Spanish about us thinking we didn’t understand, but I am Cuban. We left, and on our way out, we saw the 20 dollar bill on the ground and pointed it out to the staff. The manager did apologize from a distance as we walked out. It was a very strange experience and I would not be surprised if things like this have happened before considering how defensive our waiter was, and frankly angry he was with us. The food was fine.

Chicago has quite a few stylish looking Italian restaurants with the food that is so much worse than the Italian food from quick to-go places in Italy. On the other hand, Chicago also has Coco Pazzo Cafe which is casual, stylish with excellent Italian food and a enough amount of friendliness.

Spaghetti AOP is unreal! My favorite Italian spot in the city! I love pretty much anything on the menu and the drinks are wonderful too! The staff is the nicest!

Incredible and delicious! The calamari was on point ans so we're the entrees! A friend encouraged we try on a visit and we weren't disappointed. So glad we stopped through. Entire staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. You can feel the family energy! Parking is street/garage only

Solid Italian restaurant. The buffalo mozzarella was delicious. Staff was attentive and food was authentic. Italian pop music was a nice touch.

After a crazy day of traveling we had a wonderful experience at Coco Pazzo. The manager (don’t remember his name but he was from Ecuador) was incredibly nice and accommodating. Our server was also amazing. The food and drinks came out quickly and all tasted amazing.

I love Coco Pazzo Café! I have been here a couple of times and I’ve never been disappointed. Their food and service is amazing! The starter bread is great and the pastas are very tasty. Recommend 100%.
