Info & Location
About us
Il Pazzesco has been noticed and appreciated by Montreal gourmets since it was founded in 1991 by brothers Michele and Mario Lapadula. Following the expansion and renovation in the winter of 2001, the restaurant is divided into two separate rooms, one of which has a dance floor. You can reserve either one of the rooms for more privacy, and the same attentive service.
In May 2002 the daily newspaper “La Presse” described Il Pazzesco as being a discovery in Anjou (découverte à Anjou.)
Hoping to see you soon!

Even though we walked in wearing our work clothes after a day of sanding floors, we were welcomed with open arms & treated like VIPs. Each dish looked like a typical portion size, but halfway through, we realized just how hearty & satisfying it was. The taste? Absolutely jaw-dropping. Every bite was rich, authentic, & worth every penny. By the time we got halfway, we were already full This was my first time at an authentic Italian restaurant, & after tonight, I know I'll be back. Maybe next time, I'll try their pizza The meals we had: - LINGUINE AMALFITANA - SIGNATURE PLATE : Shrimps, scallops, clams, calamari, mussels, white wine, tomato sauce - LASAGNA - RIGATONI PAZZESCO: Italian sausage, eggplant, smoked caciocavallo cheese, tomato sauceView more

Je connais ce resto depuis quelques temps so I decided to celebrate my birthday there. It was amazing. La prise en charge dès la réservation, les suivis, etc. The service was perfect. The food was delicious. Ils ont pris leur temps pour nous servir ( group of 24), they did not rush us to finish. Merci pour cette merveilleuse expérience. 😄🥳View more

The service was amazing & so attentive! The snail starter was so good. However I found the veal cognac underwhelming lacking cognac flavoring & their dessert just fine.View more

**Restaurant Il Pazzesco : Une Expérience Italienne Inoubliable** En tant qu'amateur de cuisine italienne, j'ai récemment découvert le Restaurant Il Pazzesco à Montréal. Fondé en 1991 par les frères Michele & Mario Lapadula, Il Pazzesco a su se faire remarquer & apprécier des gastronomes montréalais. L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse & accueillante. Les deux salles à manger offrent une expérience intime, & le service est impeccable. Voici ce que j'ai particulièrement apprécié : 1. **Menu Varié :** Il Pazzesco propose une variété de plats allant des pâtes aux grillades en passant par les fruits de mer & les pizzas. Leur "Raw bar" est également un incontournable. 2. **Qualité des Plats :** J'ai opté pour des pâtes aux fruits de mer, & elles étaient fraîches & savoureuses. Les portions sont généreuses, & chaque bouchée était un régal. 3. **Service Attentionné :** Le personnel est courtois & attentif. Ils connaissent bien le menu & sont prêts à répondre à toutes vos questions. 4. **Options Sensibles au Gluten :** Pour les personnes ayant des restrictions alimentaires, Il Pazzesco propose des options sans gluten, ce qui est un énorme avantage. 5. **Desserts Maison :** Ne manquez pas leurs desserts maison ! J'ai craqué pour le tiramisu, & c'était divin. En ce qui concerne les horaires, le restaurant est ouvert du lundi au dimanche, avec des heures d'ouverture flexibles². Je recommande vivement Il Pazzesco pour une soirée italienne mémorable ! 😊View more

A bit pricy but the food is very very good & the service is excellent. We had a birthday dinner & they put in some extra effort to make it special. Very nice. A small improvement could be a waiting bench for older folks especially when you have a reservation & it's not ready. Great place overall though. Highly recommend for a special occasion.View more

Dimanche soir, le restaurant est plein. Sur réservation seulement, mais ils nous ont quand même trouvé une place. Cette place était a l'extérieur... Normalement on nous oublie quand on nous met dehors.., mais pas dans ce restaurant. Malgré que le restaurant était plein de groupe, ils sont venu nous voir fréquemment & nous avons eu un service impeccable. La nourriture était toute aussi bonne. J'ai pris pâte aux fruits de mer sauce rosée. Délicieux. Je recommande (sur réservation la fin de semaine) ce restaurant.. une découverte à réessayer!View more

Nicola, Salvatore & Raphaele nous ont reçu comme des membres de la famiglia. Les lucky lime, la burrata, les pasta al funghi, les escalope al marsala, le carré d'agneau le Il Massieta tout étaient succulents. Est-ce qu'on recommande ? Définitivement. Les pasta al pomodoro basilico ? Formidable ça me rappelait celle de Florence en Italie. Nous avons terminé le repas sur la terrasse. La dolce de la fin, très apprécié.View more
