I almost don’t want to tell you about Pazzo Italian Cuisine and wine bar, it is a secret I would quite like to keep all to myself!
Located in the stunning Buddy’s resort in Lamai, Pazzo offers a unique slice of Italy that no Italian lover will want to miss.
Pazzo sits in a tree lined colonial promenade and oozes the very essence of Italy.

Pazzo offers seating for up to 65 and if you choose to enjoy terrace dining you would be forgiven for thinking you were in Europe, other than the warm tropical atmosphere of course! Dining inside the air-conditioned restaurant offers a different experience; the kitchen is open plan and affords you the opportunity to enjoy the sounds and aromas of Italian cuisine being perfectly prepared for your enjoyment.

Everything at Pazzo is home baked and nothing is more delicious than the complimentary bread sticks and rolls that, once dipped into the black olive, olive oil and herb or chicken liver dips, are too mouthwatering for words to describe.
The reasonably priced menu is simply bursting with flavor is so comprehensive it almost impossible to choose from.
On my visit manager Jack recommended the Ceaser Salad that is made with fresh and crispy coz lettuce, cherry tomatoes, mixed white original ceaser dressing and grilled chicken. The dish came beautifully presented and the chicken so moist simply melts in the mouth.
We went on to savor Pazzo’s signature dish, Carbonara Pizza. Pazzo have perfected the art of creating the perfect pizza base that is thin crust compliments the light and creamy topping of cream sauce, bacon, egg and black pepper delightfully.

For desert I indulged my senses in Pazzo Chocolate Fondant, a hot melt chocolate cake with whipping cream, strawberry and almond icing sugar that served with vanilla ice cream. It was indescribably good.
Pazzo offers a well selected wine list, Jack recommends the Bordeaux Chatau Gruaud la Rose St Jullien aand Premier Cru – 1999 and the Undurrage Pinot noir 2007

After you meal you can enjoy a selection of delicious coffees that come with home baked cinnamon and almond cookies or relax in the glass fronted wine bar that offers beautiful surroundings in which you can enjoy wines, beers, spirits and champagnes.
Pazzo also holds another little secret, a unique underground stone wine cellar that can seat up to 7 where you can enjoy a private meal or fine wines accompanied by a superb selection of fine cigars.
Everything about Pazzo shouts perfection. The restaurant, terrace, kitchen and bathrooms are spotlessly clean. The menu, wine list and décor are well thought out. Only the very freshest of ingredients are chosen and beautifully presented in mouth watering dishes. The staff are friendly and attentive and there is something to suit literally every budget.
Pazzo is a superb restaurant in a stunning setting and is delighting its regular customers as well as visitors to the island. While I was there Julia, once a chef at Eton College and who cooked for Britain’s princes said her seafood pizza was the best she had ever tasted. Another guest told me it was the best meal he had enjoyed during his stay on the island. With statements like this it is hard to think that Manager Jack and his head chef M and there team are going to be anything other than be the huge success they deserve to be on the island.
