    We were a table of 5,we only ordered appetizers..they were good but not outstanding..we ordered 4 of them so I’m not sure if that’s why they weren’t up to par..only other comment from the group is wines by glass are too pricey.

    Has to be one of best Italian restaurants in Sarasota, located in Rosemary district. We dined on the lovely outside patio, warmly greeted by our server, ordered cocktails ( perfectly prepared), fresh crusty bread with Italian olive oils. Our entrees were so delicious, the Seafood Linguini was THE best I’ve ever had anywhere!!!! served with generous amounts of mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and on top a delicious lobster tail, over a tasty linguini in spicy marinara sauce. Our other entree was Rigatoni Bolognese, superb. An extra special touch, was the manager stopped by to greet us , welcoming us back, remembering us from previous visit. When in Sarasota, give Pazzo on Orange a try, you won’t be disappointed.

    Best Italian food in town. Chef Michael Calore reigns supreme in this gem of a neighborhood restaurant! Try the short rib, carmelized onion, house made mozzarella pizza or the farfalle with peas and prosciutto.

    The back room is an echo chamber because of the lack of sound abatement devices, features.

    Pazzzo on Orange experience was excellent. We visited Pazzo on Wednesday before going to a show. Our server was very friendly and helpful. We each ordered an entree; linguine with clams, rolitini and a dinner salad and were very happy. I will be going back!

    We sat and no one came over for at least 10 mins. Someone walked by and asked if anyone waited on us and said ok I guess I’ll do it. Once he took over he was a pretty decent server. He apologized and said he is fairly new there himself. My last experience wasn’t great either. Likely will not return.

    WE had Pasta and Chicken Franchise.Both were excellent. Our waitress was very pleasant but also had a very large table, so we were delayed in ordering.

    Our first time at this location after Southside Village. Delicious food and cocktails, terrific service, lovely atmosphere. Noise level was quite high making it challenging to hear conversation but that could have been due to the location of our table. Will definitely return!
