Food excellent as always and fairly priced. They were using a new digital ordering system and the only issue is that our order was not placed correctly so was delayed. They owned the issue and all was great otherwise.

Haven’t eaten here in a few decades. It was spectacular! We had friends visiting from Milan who LOVED the food, everything! The spaghetti alle vongole was a rock star! Chicken liver mousse patè was amazing! Risotto of the day hit it out of the park! We will be back soon!!!!

We have eaten here many times but last night ws not the same. My husband branzino was so overcooked he could not swallow it and my veal was very salty.Normally, service is great but last night to was very slow because the kitchen seemed to not be able to handle things,/ They did take the fish off the bill but it made us sad since it was a place we looked forward to going for a special evening.

Dinner at Coco Pazzo is consistently a solid choice for excellent Italian Tuscan cooking and our favorite Italian spot in the city. The service is perfect-knowledgeable, professional and always attentive never annoying, management frequently surveys the room and ensures all is going smoothly. Sophisticated comfortable environment that is conversation friendly. Beautiful elevated open kitchen behind a sparkling bar. Raised built in wood burning oven adds to the ambiance and produces great food. Consider one of their excellent pizzas as a starter-we cant avoid doing this every time we come. Food and drink are a level above. This fantastic restaurant makes other spots with forgetable "tasting menus" and nothing but "sharing plates" seem foolish.

The Tuscan food at Coco Pazzo is always excellent; my branzino was as good as I have ever had in Chicago. The ambience is charming, and the maitre d' Sam was perfect. Unfortunately, my server messed up with my order and neither repaired his mistake nor even apologized for it. The result was a less than perfect dining experience. I will certainly return, but I will make sure that I have a different waiter.

Excellent dinner. The spinach gnocchi, rabbit ragu, raviolis, grilled vegetables, and focaccia were fabulous as were the cocktails and desserts. Beautiful environment.
