Summary: “Inspired by the cafés that line the piazzas in Florence, vibrant and lively Coco Pazzo Café is just steps away from Magnificent Mile shopping and hotels. The Café offers a casual atmosphere, a diverse menu, and Italian wines by the glass.” After walking around the Mag Mile, we stumbled upon this café with its alfresco patio and were intrigued by the simple menu. Located near many hotels, Coco Pazzo Café is not to be overlooked. The service was great, food was simple, homemade, and loaded with classic flavors. My garginella pasta was not too dense and sprinkled with lovely fresh mushrooms. The bread was also very fresh with just the right amount of chew factor. It was not until the next day that I found out this was the smaller “sister” restaurant to the more famous main Coco Pazzo. Nonetheless, we had an excellent and satisfying meal for a decent price. I would come back again to try other items on the menu.
