Po Pazzo Review

Po Pazzo 
$$-$$$, Italian, Little Italy
User Rating: **** 4.4
Fodor's Review:
An eye-catching new creation from leading Little Italy restaurateurs Joe and Lisa Busalacchi, Po Pazzo earns its name, which means "a little crazy," by featuring silverware and glasses that seem to curve away from the hand. A steak house with an accent, this stylish eatery offers attractive salads and thick cuts of prime beef, as well as a top-notch presentation of veal saltimbocca, and risotto in an osso buco "sauce" that defines richness. It's pricey but fun, although at lunch, the Kobe beef burger with fresh-from-the-fat fries is an affordable way to enjoy the experience.

We love Po Pazzo. The food is pricey..but unlike Ocean 1500, Oceanaire or other fancy places.... at Po Pazzo the food is EXCELLENT, the decor and atmosphere great...and we find it well worth the money. The tortellini with marscapone cheese is so good, it brings tears. Bread, wine, fish, steak ...excellent. We frequent the restaurant often and highly recommend it.RATING: 4.4
Very good, but bring your wallet.

The crab cakes were delicious. The shrimp cocktail had only three modest-sized shrimp. The cucumber salad was refreshing. The Ahi tuna was just right, and the NY steatk was blackened and juicy. Our server was very attentive. The parking valet pointed us to a free spot. A bit pricey, but the quality of ingredients and everything was well prepared. You'll need a some extra $$ here. (Hey! Don't eat lunch and you'll have the money for a great dinner.)RATING: 4.4
