About

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!

Nous avons pour habitude de commander une pizza pour emporter & c'est la meilleure en ville! Elle est préparée devant nous. J'adore!

Salle taille moyenne avec bonne répartion des tables. Ambiance typiquement italienne: on mange bien, on boit bien, on parle beaucoup, on rigole pas mal & on danse pour finir.

Another outstanding evening past at Il Pazzesco. The service is so warm & welcoming. Every server & the owner, all are attentive & you really get the feeling that they are very happy you chose their restaurant. & that is just the beginning. Then you eat excellent food, some of the best Italian food I have had. It has a very chic downtown decor. Much easier access than downtown restaurants. Table cloths on the tables & real napkins. Lots of parking. We will return OFTEN.

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.
