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 sauce

If you want an authentic Italian restaurant, this is the one. We came up from Downtown & it was definitely worth it. Everything was fantastic, All dishes were perfect; the soups, salads & obviously the pastas. Our waiter's wine recommendation was right on. You can't go wrong with this place.

Authentic tasting pizza. I've ordered pizza from Il Pazzesco 3 times already & they never disappoint. The all dressed pizza is delicious, thin crispy crust & the ingredients are very fresh. Can't comment on the atmosphere as I have not dined in.

Sal & his team are the definition of fine dining. The food is authentic Italian & is seasoned to perfection. The wine list is vast with some great options. Best Italian restaurant in Montreal. Would recommend to anyone who's looking for a romantic night at a beautiful restaurant with a great ambiance.

Delicious & fresh Authentic Italian food. Loved the antipasto , proshiutto wasn't too salty, loved the little slices of thin crust pizza they gave as an appetizer, the panini were fresh & very good. Loved the medaglione with ricotta cheese, you could actually taste the ricotta, no mish mash of ingredients that some restaurants serve as "ricotta", but looks & tastes like glue. The meat was tender & tasty & well done just the way I asked for.
Great service also!! I would recommend Il Pazzesco to anyone for any occasion! Congratulations to the chef!
