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!

If you're looking for a dinner with a side of high-energy atmosphere, Il Pazzesco certainly delivers. I've eaten Italian food all over the world, & walking in here feels like stepping onto a very specific, high-end production set.
The Atmosphere
The vibe is definitely'bold.' It's a very clean, polished spot, but be prepared for some serious flash-there's a lot of gold jewelry & a very lively crowd. It's the kind of place where you instinctively want to sit with your back against the wall just to take in the whole scene. I was almost surprised the parking lot wasn't full of vintage muscle cars with gold decals; it just has that energetic, old-school feel.
The Service & Drinks
The service is where they truly shine. The staff is incredibly friendly, & the restaurant is immaculate. We started with the Sangria, & I have to say, it was delizioso. They clearly don't skimp on the quality or the alcohol-it was easily the highlight of the night.
The Meal
The food was a bit of a journey:
Appetizers: The Melanzane was excellent & full of flavor. I tried the homemade meatballs; while the quality of the meat was top-notch, they were surprisingly mild-almost like the seasoning decided to take the night off.
Mains: I had the Pappardelle with meat sauce. The pasta was perfectly al dente, which is hard to find, but the sauce & even the Parmesan on top were just'okay.' For such a vibrant place, the flavors were unexpectedly quiet.
The Volume
We decided to skip dessert & coffee because the noise level escalated quickly. It went from'spirited' to a'screeching hyena' level of loud rather fast. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate chat, this might not be your spot.
The Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's a'deliciously unique' clientele & a great place for people-watching. If you want a spotless restaurant with great service & a very strong drink, it's worth a visit-just maybe bring your own salt shaker & some earplugs for the late-night rush!
Buon appetito!
