Main Attractions (A Sampling) |

The pastas are superb from the Linguine Vongole – Manila clams in white wine, garlic broth @ $18 the plate, to the Rigatoni “Butters” – sausage, peas, dressed in a tomato cream, Parmesan sauce @ $16 the plate, and a choice of several others. The Seared Duck Breast a great selection with treviso, saba @ $22 the plate. My favorite “Bistecca” – grilled skirt steak with Tuscan fries (not to be missed) @ $24 the plate. Of course, the antipastos and salads are all a great way to begin this feast BUT be forewarned, they are sooo appetizing and Mediterranean that you want to try everything especially with the wonderful bread. Coco Pazzo’s has a nice wine list, not overly priced and, of course, a full bar with a great mixologist. Do enjoy your espresso and freshly made desserts. Afterwards sip a little Sambucca or Cognac. While all of Chicago is outside your door you're in the middle of a quaint little village where you are the king. Enjoy! Boys and girls, Coco Pazzo Café is truly a destination restaurant. A Love Chef must visit. |
