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!

Il Pazzesco earns praise for warm hospitality and an authentic Italian menu that features standout gnocchi, seafood, and desserts. The service is frequently described as attentive and friendly, and guests note a cozy, lively atmosphere that makes diners feel at home. Overall, the experience offers generous portions, bold flavors, and a memorable sense of tradition with a modern touch.
First, I want to say how much I enjoyed the food ! For entry, I had the calamari, mussels, & Ceasar's salad. For the main course, I took the Sopressata pizza & also got a chance to try their salmon tartare, tortellini rosé & lamb dish. I ate like a queen ! I have to say, the pizza is hands down the best I ate in a long time. The crust was cooked to perfection. The sauce, cheese, & toppings were plenty enough. The lamb just melted in my mouth. The tortellini was deliciously creamy, & the tartare with avocado was fresh. Every dish had its own unique flavor.
I went there for a birthday party, we were a group of 10 so we took many options to try different things & it was great. The service was friendly, & the servers worked as a team to provide us with a quality dining experience. Although there were times when it was slow, it's to be expected for a large group, not to mention that the restaurant was full. The overall atmosphere was enjoyable, with music playing in the background. I recommend trying this place, & I will definitely go back.
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.
Le service était décevant & simplet.
Les cocktails étaient très léger en alcool.
Le serveur a refusé de mettre du parmesan sur mes pâtes sous prétexte que ça changerait le goût.
& ne me recommandait pas le dessert au citron me mentionnant qu'il était trop riche !
Nous étions bien déçu
I chose that restaurant because of the Google reviews & I wasn't disappointed. It was a great experience even within the COVID situation. The waiter even went to get the Table d'hôte menu board & installed it in front of our table so we could read it well without having to move a finger. He explained everything on it very well, made some recommendations & even shared some interesting facts about food that was pertinent to our situation. I recommend this restaurant for a romantic date night, adult family dinner or business dinners. Will go back for sure.
Pour notre première visite nous avons été enchantée pour le service & surtout la nourriture, nous allons le recommandé à nos amis. Nous avons hâte à notre prochaine visite.

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!
