Since 1992, Coco Pazzo has been an award-winning, Tuscan-inspired Chicago favorite. Menu items include the Porterhouse Bistecca alla Fiorentina and whole Mediterranean Sea Bass filleted tableside. Additionally, find housemade pasta, hand-tossed pizza and daily risotto and seafood specials. Enjoy the wood-burning oven while you sit and eat at the bar. As close to Italy as you can get, you'll enjoy dining in this 1905 former warehouse loft space.

Soaring ceilings with theatrical lighting, blue velvet drapes surround the dining room. Sit near an open window and enjoy passersby in this vibrant River North neighborhood. Steps from the Merchandise Mart and a short walk over the river from the Loop. Feel the welcoming and warm hospitality of this Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurant & Best Italian Wine List recipient and Wine Spectator award winner. Outdoor patio open weather permitting. Whether you join us for a romantic date night or corporate event, we look forward to hosting you soon!

    Flawless! Been eating here for decades; it is always so civilized. From the antipasti to the profiteroles (with spaghetti alle vongole and grilled bronzino in between) everything was great. The beet salad was especially delicious!

    Very slow service. Confusing order conversation resulting in my getting not the dish I preferred. My wife’s sea bass order was fishy tasting. She ate about half. Years ago one of my favorite places. Doubt we’ll go back.
