Pazzo On Orange - Sarasota (FL)

5 /5 Buffy Wernz: Everything was Amazing! We loved this place! Portions are very big! We will have another meal for tomorrow’s lunch from our leftovers. We made reservations online. We were able to go an hour later. And we were immediately sat when we arrived. Service was impeccable! Everyone was so friendly. The owners are there working which I like. Mike (I think was his name) was seating people and working the front with the staff, and his father does the cooking he said. We will definitely be returning!

4 /5 Mary Jane Carnevale: Adorable little spot with delicious Italian food and excellent service. Seated in the outside courtyard which is charming. Only downside is the guy singing made it so difficult to hear our conversation. I enjoy music, but please turn down the volume. My ears are still ringing and my head is pounding!

5 /5 Brittany Colatorti: We loved our dinner and experience at this restaurant! The food was all delicious…the mussels in white sauce being one of my favorites! The marinara and bolognese sauce were in point…and Mike one of the owners came by to ensure we were happy with everything. Definitely will be back!

5 /5 Faith Bossman: Cute secluded atmosphere, since its a pretty small restaurant. I recommend getting the pizzas, I love their crust and they have some creative options. I got the short rib carmelized onion pizza with ricotta and enjoyed it, plus had some extra for leftovers.

2 /5 Joanna O: I wanted to love this the second time around but I just couldn’t. If you’re thinking this is Pazzo Southside, it’s not. Service both times was terrible. We had to ask multiple times for water and bread. Bread is a staple at any Italian dinner table! Our waitress disappeared over and over. Thankfully, the older female hostess was helpful. My linguine and claims was more soup than anything and there was about 6 -7 bites of pasta to the dish itself. Very over flavored but I can’t put my finger on what the flavor was; not traditional though. Hubby had the Chicken our way, and there was no flavor. Mashed potatoes were bland and weird texture. Ambience was beautiful, it’s a prime location, but the staff are disorganized and I think the kitchen staff are overwhelmed. There’s a huge opportunity here to make this place top 5 Italian in Sarasota, it’s just not happened yet.
