Benvenuto and welcome to Pazzo, a new Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Halifax. Inspired by our love affair with Italian cuisine, we’ve beautifully transformed two floors of a Barrington Street heritage building into a cozy bar on the lower level and a gorgeous dining area upstairs. With a focus on fresh handmade pasta, meats and cheeses cured in-house, and wines that flow as freely as laughter around a family dinner table, we invite you to join us on a journey of Italy’s rich food culture and la dolce vita!

    Excellent service, good affordable wines available, we were impressed by the quality of the food. Had the tuna carpaccio, the svizzera, the tagliatelle bolognese and the seafood risotto. All were delicious! Aperol spritz was also really well done.

    Extremely disappointed. We had high hopes for this beautiful space, but unfortunately the food was poor. The osso buco was probably the worst I've ever tasted. - more like boiled stew. The chicken parmesan was a lump of thick fried chicken with a mound of tasteless spaghetti piled on top. The ravioli was drowned in a bitter jus. Honestly one of the worst meals we've had in Halifax.

    The Valentine’s Day menu was not a hit, we would come back again for the standard menu.

    We sat down at 8:20, ate our appetizer at about 9:30 and did not get our mains until 10:40. Extremely long wait times and very poor service. Our server never checked on us the entire time we were waiting and never checked on us to see how our food was.
