"When my dish arrived, I couldn't help but question the quality of the calamari served in a restaurant. While I appreciated the presentation, reminiscent of the markets in Sicily, the taste fell short. My first friend enjoyed his spaghetti and knots, but I found the meat sauce to be unappetizing. The meatball sub looked as if it had been microwaved, which only added to my disappointment. As for my calamari—who thought that was an acceptable cooking and serving style? We ended up spending nearly $120 on a lunch that didn't meet our expectations, and I felt embarrassed for suggesting this place. I remembered having a decent experience here back in February 2023, but it probably wasn’t the best idea to choose a restaurant I hardly visit for a meeting. The lunch prices felt too high, and while the quirky way of serving water was interesting, it lacked practicality. Our server was friendly and did her best, but it was evident that we were not satisfied. I wish them luck, and if I find myself in the area again, I’ll check to see if things have improved."

The food and service were great but the amateur saxophone player who was out of tune, off-tempo, and obnoxiously loud set a mood that I hope I never experience again. It was horrible and for that reason alone, I will not return
Tracy
This is the most genuine Italian cuisine you can experience in Florida! Both the service and the food are outstanding! The atmosphere is ideal for a romantic date night or a dinner with friends and family. This has quickly become our go-to restaurant!
Helen
Excellent service, atmosphere, and food! This is our third time dining at this restaurant, and they consistently uphold a high standard of service. During this visit, we tried the Caprese salad, Fettuccine Bolognese, and the Capricciosa pizza. Everything was incredibly tasty! We will certainly return again. View menu

Pazzo's never disappoints! Food is always delicious and service is always great! Tasty margarita and godfather with bruschetta for an app! Main meal was chicken marsala (taste better than it looks ? and Paccheri Della mamma! Great valentines dinner and love they take reservations!Dietary restrictions: They serve Gluten free pasta as well.

This was a great and memorable Valentine's dinner with my wife. The food was great, live music and overall ambiance was nice. The price is a little high for food and service that didn't seem to stand above some higher end chains that are 30-40% cheaper. It was memorable and a great evening though and that was the main objective on this night.

I was pleasantly surprised by our meal at this restaurant. The garlic knots had the perfect amount of garlic, and the croutons in the salad were delightful. I appreciated that the salad dressing wasn't too heavy. All the pasta dishes were generously sauced, and we even took home some extra sauce to dip our bread in. Just a heads-up: they don’t provide bread service during lunch. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to try more! View menu

It was our final day in Destin, and we wanted to indulge in a memorable dinner, so we chose this restaurant based on its excellent reviews. The atmosphere was delightful, and the service was exceptional, but sadly, the food fell short of our expectations. I ordered the lasagna, which was meant to be served with béchamel sauce, but instead, it was just red sauce and cheese. The meat was extremely dry and practically inedible. My husband chose the penne alla vodka, which was completely flavorless. Ultimately, we ended up bringing home a cheese pizza because the rest of our meal was disappointing, especially considering the high prices for the quality of food we received.

Unfortunately, the lasagna was just mediocre and felt like it was missing something—too basic for my taste. The Chicken Alfredo, however, was a disaster. The noodles lacked flavor, and the sauce only had a faint hint of pepper and garlic, which wasn't enough. The chicken tasted as if it had come from a pre-cooked bag rather than being freshly prepared. I generally don't consider myself picky, but I truly couldn’t find anything pleasant about the pasta. To add insult to injury, my sweet tea cost $4, and there was an extra charge for paying with a card, as if we were living in 1940. I won’t be returning.
