    Pazzo is just excellent. Really. Food is high quality, authentic Italian cuisine, super flavorful. From outstanding soups, appetizers - go for the calamari, to fresh homemade pastas and artisan pizzas, all are outstanding. The staff are also very friendly, knowledgeable about menu items, and the vibe includes many locals as well as repeat guests, like me. :-)

    First time here for my Birthday with family. Waitress stated that she was new and she was so good! The food was EXCELLENT! Service was excellent. Ambiance was excellent. The only thing I'd recommend would be that the pour for a glass of wine would be as excellent as the rest of the reviews. The pour was honestly a shocking amount.

    The food was very good, but for $140 bill (before tip), it was an extremely rushed experience. Between the appetizer coming out, it was probably 5 minutes until our entrees arrived. While I appreciate everything was hot and tasted good, for such an expensive meal for 2, it was annoying to have to ask the server to not take my plate because I was still eating. I get it, it's Destin and they want to turn tables, but this is more expensive establishment, and we were looking for a date night. I'd rather spend 1/4 of the money for counter service somewhere else for a 30 minute experience.

    We have been coming to Destin once or twice a year since 2019. We visit here when in town even though we like to visit new places. This place is too good to pass up. We have tried appetizers, salads, pizzas, and entrees, and they never disappoint!
