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!

Review Summary

Il Pazzesco offers authentic Italian cuisine with generous portions and flavors that stay true to tradition, from fresh al dente pasta and crispy pizzas to seafood and veal dishes, all enjoyed in a warm, elegant, cozy setting. The service is consistently attentive and welcoming, giving a family feel that makes guests comfortable and eager to return, while the decor and ambiance elevate the dining experience and are well suited for both casual meals and celebrations. Some notes mention a bit of noise on busy nights and a few reservation hiccups, but the overall impression centers on high quality, fair value, and a memorable visit.

food so mid: the'focaccia' is flatbread pizza - not great, the penne arrabiata was not spicy at all, watery too (saw it swishing as waiter put plate down)
if you like average italian food & enjoy overpaying, this is the spot for you!
(im sure other options are better but based on what i had this is my rating)

Mon restaurant italien préféré à Montréal. Les chefs sont italiens ainsi que les serveurs, tout le monde est gentil & attentionné, les pâtes sont'al dente', les pizzas croquantes, les viandes & les poissons parfaits.

La bouffe est bonne. Un peu bruyant mais ça crée l'ambiance. Pour une sortie entre amis c'est parfait
