A word from Po Pazzo Bar & Grille

Sure our name, Po Pazzo, is Italian, but the food pays homage to the best urban bar and grille. Sound Crazy? That's what Po Pazzo means, just a little crazy. Our menu is filled with great appetizers, ample steaks, superb salads and unique side dishes. Our wonderfully extensive bar serves the… best wines and liquors. Our staff is friendly and ready to serve. Eating out should be an experience: Part entertainment, part theater, and of course, all fun. That's what Po Pazzo ultimately represents; music, food and friends. Po Pazzo, a new kind of Bar and Grille by Busalacchi.Continued

"Great specials for the night but also enjoyed the lobster ravioli. The live music in the bar area was perfect for before or after dinner drinks."

"Wonderful food, poor service. Great ambiance, excellent "live" music. Our experience started out well (server named "Chi")however we were suddenly forgotten once another table next to us began "decanting" a bottle of wine. Higher price point, yes, than our bottle but never an option to drop a table off one's radar in a restaurant of this caliber. Also found it interesting that the floor manager of the evening felt compelled to sit down and eat dinner at the table next to us and relax for an hour during a busy portion of the evening...may have been helpful to stay focused on the client base. We had to look for "Chi" more than once to get assistance. Will be back, however, will request a different server."

"Arriving at the hostest desk, I was greeted my name before I could tell them- boy Opentable is getting good. Immediately the warmth of the restaurant enveloped us. There was a smooth jazz lounge singer filling the air with romance. We never did find where they his her- we were guessing it was in a bottle of Courvoisier behind the bar. They have an amazing sound system. She sounded live

Our waiter showed up immediately with energy. He proved Interesting throughout the meal. Funniest was when he came back the 2nd time to take our wine order. Day sha voo. Well he didn't kill the night and was nice enough. He kept us right on track to catch a 9:50 flight to Vegas. He suggested the scampi appetizer and was spot on. It was all"

"Outstanding service and attention to detail. An authentic upscale Italian dining experience. The waiter presonally thanked us for choosing papazzo over the many excellent restaurants in San Diego. Right in the heart of Little Italy. Very nice bar."

"Ciao Po Pazzo,
Wanted to impress my amazing online date friend on our first night together. It worked. We have lasting memories. She was impressed with all the VIP services. The staff made her and me feel beyond special. The food was awesome. We will be seeing more of each other and seeing you soon for another wonderful evening out."
