Super friendly staff, we felt very welcome. The food was refined, delicious and also good portion size. The wild duck was exceptional and the cannolo as desert was the finish our meal needed. We will be back (soon).

TOP 3 World's Best Restaurants

My wife and I combined have more than 30 years Hospitality experience in world's best restaurants. We've worked and experienced restaurants from street food upto 3-star Michelin around the world. After opening a restaurant ourself and achieving 1 star in the same year and having the opportunity to help open the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the Middle East, we took a step back and are enjoying life at the East Coast of USA.

We arrived at Pazzo on a Wednesday night around 8pm and were greeted friendly by (whom we assume) the manager or owner of the restaurant. He gave us a choice of table and wished us a wonderful evening. Promptly we were welcomed by the service staff with an amuse bouche (burrata, tomato and basil oil) which was the highlight of the evening, if not of our whole vacation. Wines were recommended accordingly and professionally throughout the dining experience by our head server 'Jens'. We could try wines before ordering them, but who needs that if the recommendations are always point on? We asked for some recommendations regarding our main courses, but that was more difficult than expected, because if we had to believe the manager, everything was great, so he explained us in detail all the dishes instead. And oh boy, what was he right! One of those rare occasions occured at the end of the meal, where we were reviewing our meal and tried to make an impossible TOP 3. Every single dish was so flavourful! But if you do want our recommendations... Here they are:

- Enjoy your amuse bouche and hope they bring you a second one.
- Try the oysters (their way) and order the cold crab dish with the most amazing Langoustine Crème ever.
- Order the Chicken dish, even if it's only for the Lobster Bearnaise sauce they serve with it.
- I never find myself ordering a vegetarian dish, but the one I tried today blew my wife and I away! Thank you eggplant parmigiana.

Special shout-out to the chef; whom we unfortunately didn't meet. Your food rocked us of our socks!

Special shout-out to An; whom is the nicest lady you may imagine. She brought a blanket for my wife, when she was a little chilly and took great care of everyone at the terrace where we were seated. Even though we were full (but didn't feel "over full" or bloated) we asked for a dessert; whereupon the Truffle Ice Cream with balsamico was recommended by An. Believe me, it was to die for! They even have a cheese croquette on their dessert menu...

Apparently, they also have a wine bar / cigar lounge, but unfortunately not open at the moment, I truly hope it will be open one of these days before we need to leave again to Amerika.

Thank you once again for the service and the amazing food we were blessed to enjoy tonight!

See you soon again
Andrea and El Cid

A wonderful restaurant where I regularly eat with family, friends and colleagues for years.
My favorite dish is the carpaccio with truffle.  Fresh and pure!
Chef Ingrid is an amazing cook because she has a talent for putting together such a tasty menu throughout the seasons. The super friendly team and creative dishes will blow your mind ;)
