Freshness is at the core of our menu. From tiny wild ramps, pea tendrils, and lamb in the spring to wild boar, house-made duck prosciutto, and wild-caught salmon in the fall – Coco Pazzo offers you the best of the season. All of our breads are baked in house and our pastas are handmade fresh every day. In addition, every stock, sauce, pastry, and dessert is prepared by our passionate and creative staff.
History
Established in 1992.
When Owner Jack Weiss opened the doors of Coco Pazzo in the River North area of Chicago much excitement followed. This was the first Chicago restaurant to focus solely on the Tuscan region of Italy. Praise was immediate and continues today for the straightforward seasonal cuisine, award-winning all-Italian wine list, beautiful loft setting, and impeccable, friendly service.
