We have been dining at Coco Pazzo for over 25 years, most recently on September 16, 2023. Their consistently high quality in all respects over that time is amazing. The service is courteous, friendly and excellent without being obtrusive. Their food offerings use the highest quality and freshest ingredients. Each dish is served at the right temperature and timing with other courses. The flavors are distinctive, subtle, and well-balanced. We enjoyed four courses and none could be improved. Their wine list, particularly their wine by the glass, is excellent. This our favorite restaurant and we highly recommend Coco Pazzo.

We were in Chicago for a trade show and needed a place for myself and 4 coworkers for dinner. We were able to get a short notice reservation via Open Table. Coco Pazzo was an excellent choice! Everyone ordered either the Saltambocca or the Tagliatelle along with some appetizers. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious! Topping the meal off with a light panna cotta was the icing on the cake. Will definitely return here when in the area.

We had an enjoyable evening. the food was very good, my wife had dishes that were a bit unusual and she enjoyed them. The service was very attentive, but not intrusive. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived and the first table we were given was in a noisy area. We asked to change to a table in a quieter spot and it was arranged quickly. A very enjoyable evening.

We are visiting Chicago on vacation with our children. From the moment we arrived to Coco Pazzo, the service was excellent with a highly experienced server and staff. The menu is very varied and both adults and kids found things we loved. We all really enjoyed our dishes which were executed perfectly. The branzino was outstanding. The ambiance was so nice surrounded by locals and you were able to have a nice conversation. Highly recommend!!
