Tips for Coco Pazzo Cafe

August 04, 2004

More affordable Coco Pazzo sibling aims for upscale-casual Italian in a sunny, colorful setting.. Murals of people enjoying meals cover the walls of this casual-chic, tile-floored restaurant known for its seasonally inspired, full-of-heart Tuscan fare. First impressions come in the form of an antipasto, perhaps orange-garlic dressed octopus with white beans. By the last bite of butternut squash-filled capallaci graced with amaretti cookies and seemingly just-plucked, grilled veggies, it's amore. Rich beef brisket ragu clings to papparadelle, while a pork chop plated with chestnuts and rapini in mustard sauce updates a Sunday dinner staple. A mid-priced, all-Italian wine list makes pairing vinos a cinch.

No romance at all. I mean, probably the worst gnocchi in the city, and I've been to a lot of places. Really disappointed...absolutely NO romance in the air. Romantic? Who are you guys kidding? Place was a mortuary, filled with 60 year old couples. What a wasted evening.

I had high hopes.... Most of the food is QUITE excellent. Some of the food is... to say the least, interesting. The ambience - the outdoor patio was not open and maybe that makes a difference - however, the ambience was slightly painful for me. It looked cute, but there were so many people "milling around" that I never felt at ease. The waitstaff is very courteous and proper, however, there may be a *slight* language barrier if you don't have an ear for thick accents :) All in all, a good experience, I'd definately go back, but I wouldn't take a new girlfriend or in-laws with me...
