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 impresses with its gnocchi and the menu blends classic Italian flavors with a dynamic, memorable profile. Service is consistently superb and attentive, making guests feel welcome and at home. The atmosphere is warm and elegant yet welcoming, with a refined vibe that still feels inviting. Dishes such as gnocchi, polpette, veal, seafood pastas and lamb chops are praised for freshness, generous portions and authentic preparation, with pasta often described as al dente and sauces flavorful. Value is highlighted with generous portions and quality that justifies the price, and many reviews note that the experience can feel like a true Italian dining moment, whether dining in or celebrating a special occasion. Minor notes about noise or a few menu items not meeting expectations are far outweighed by the overall experience, leaving a sense of a reliable favorite for fans of Italian cuisine.
Visiting from the UK & staying in an Air B&B close by so walked here with no reservation but they were happy to seat us. Beautiful meal. Excellent service from our servers. They were very polite & happy to chat with us. Great Sangria 🍷
Je connais ce resto depuis quelques temps so I decided to celebrate my birthday there. It was amazing. La prise en charge dès la réservation, les suivis, etc. The service was perfect. The food was delicious. Ils ont pris leur temps pour nous servir ( group of 24), they did not rush us to finish. Merci pour cette merveilleuse expérience. 😄🥳
The service was amazing & so attentive! The snail starter was so good. However I found the veal cognac underwhelming lacking cognac flavoring & their dessert just fine.
we had a little party of 20 , great service, fantastic food, cozy environment. Cant ask for more & will be back. I rarely write reviews but they diserve it!
**Restaurant Il Pazzesco : Une Expérience Italienne Inoubliable** En tant qu'amateur de cuisine italienne, j'ai récemment découvert le Restaurant Il Pazzesco à Montréal. Fondé en 1991 par les frères Michele & Mario Lapadula, Il Pazzesco a su se faire remarquer & apprécier des gastronomes montréalais. L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse & accueillante. Les deux salles à manger offrent une expérience intime, & le service est impeccable. Voici ce que j'ai particulièrement apprécié : 1. **Menu Varié :** Il Pazzesco propose une variété de plats allant des pâtes aux grillades en passant par les fruits de mer & les pizzas. Leur "Raw bar" est également un incontournable. 2. **Qualité des Plats :** J'ai opté pour des pâtes aux fruits de mer, & elles étaient fraîches & savoureuses. Les portions sont généreuses, & chaque bouchée était un régal. 3. **Service Attentionné :** Le personnel est courtois & attentif. Ils connaissent bien le menu & sont prêts à répondre à toutes vos questions. 4. **Options Sensibles au Gluten :** Pour les personnes ayant des restrictions alimentaires, Il Pazzesco propose des options sans gluten, ce qui est un énorme avantage. 5. **Desserts Maison :** Ne manquez pas leurs desserts maison ! J'ai craqué pour le tiramisu, & c'était divin. En ce qui concerne les horaires, le restaurant est ouvert du lundi au dimanche, avec des heures d'ouverture flexibles². Je recommande vivement Il Pazzesco pour une soirée italienne mémorable ! 😊

A bit pricy but the food is very very good & the service is excellent. We had a birthday dinner & they put in some extra effort to make it special. Very nice. A small improvement could be a waiting bench for older folks especially when you have a reservation & it's not ready. Great place overall though. Highly recommend for a special occasion.
Dimanche soir, le restaurant est plein. Sur réservation seulement, mais ils nous ont quand même trouvé une place. Cette place était a l'extérieur... Normalement on nous oublie quand on nous met dehors.., mais pas dans ce restaurant. Malgré que le restaurant était plein de groupe, ils sont venu nous voir fréquemment & nous avons eu un service impeccable. La nourriture était toute aussi bonne. J'ai pris pâte aux fruits de mer sauce rosée. Délicieux. Je recommande (sur réservation la fin de semaine) ce restaurant.. une découverte à réessayer!

Nicola, Salvatore & Raphaele nous ont reçu comme des membres de la famiglia. Les lucky lime, la burrata, les pasta al funghi, les escalope al marsala, le carré d'agneau le Il Massieta tout étaient succulents. Est-ce qu'on recommande ? Définitivement. Les pasta al pomodoro basilico ? Formidable ça me rappelait celle de Florence en Italie. Nous avons terminé le repas sur la terrasse. La dolce de la fin, très apprécié.

First time to be here, we didn't have reservation. This place is super popular. Thank you for the owner(i guess he is) that we have a table. So we had a great time!! The food are great especially the calamari. Good flavour. Service is good.
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.
