Absolutely love this place! Most authentic pasta in all of San Antonio! One of my friends is from France and has been to Italy a lot and when she tried this place, said it taste like it does in Italy. I’ve been here several times and every time everyone has loved what they’ve ordered. This is the only place I go to for pasta now. The service is on par and the owners are active in the restaurant and very nice people! I don’t have a picture of the cappuccino, but I normally get it when I go there and their coffee is amazing also. I do recommend making a reservation if you plan on visiting on the weekend or any evening. They book up quickly.

This was our first time to eat at Pazzo Pastaria and we were extremely impressed! Shelby was our server and was extremely pleasant and attentive. We started our lunch with the Ceasar Salad which was delicious especially with its homemade dressing. My husband ordered the Bucatini con Salsiccia and he truly enjoyed it. I ordered the large portion of Spaghetti and Meatballs. The homemade fresh spaghetti, tender meatballs and marinara sauce were some of the best I have ever had. I was only able to eat 1/3 of my serving and brought the rest home for later. We ended our lunch with the Tiramisu which was freshly made and such a large serving that I brought that home as well! Did I forget to mention the garlic bread which is made with freshly baked bread on the premise and the garlic butter? We brought a second order of that to bring home as well! We will definitely be back! Such a gem and find in SA for Italian cuisine! Thank you for a wonderful eating experience! We travel alot to Italy and our daughter lives in NYC so we take advantage and dine a lot in Italian restaurants. This is such a pleasure for us.

Local family run Italian spot. Best chicken Parmesan I’ve had in a long time. Amazing service. Super friendly. Lots of parking. Handmade pasta. Excellent food options. Highly recommend for a date or family dinner. The Strawberry Dream Italian soda was amazing.

Came here to dinner tonight for the first time and let me say this. Hands down the BEST Italian spot I’ve ever been too. From the handcrafted iced tea, to the homemade pasta. Everything was a hit! Our waiter Adonte was amazing, knowledgeable, and attentive. We WILL be back.

As a Google reviewer, I recently visited Pazzo Pastaria for the first time, and overall, it was a good experience. The food was very fresh and delicious. Every dish we tried was well-prepared and full of flavor. The service was also commendable; the staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The only downside was the atmosphere. It was quite dark inside, and the table we were seated at was very small, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Despite the ambiance, I was not disappointed. The fresh food and good service contributed to a pleasant dining experience. I would recommend giving Pazzo Pastaria a try.

Nice little hole in the wall restaurant. Made a dinner reservation, and was welcomed with a busy atmosphere. We were seated right away, unfortunately towards the corner of the restaurant, behind the counter. Not a horrible dining spot, but also felt like we were slightly forgotten at times. Bread service was a bit confusing and unclear. The menu has it available for 3$, but it also states that the first round is free. Well, we did not receive any bread, nor was ever offered any, as it would of been nice to chew on something while we waited for our dishes to arrive. The Mrs. was also a bit frustrated, as other diners were receiving bread service left and right. I wasn't too bothered by the situation, but it's the principal of it all. Enough about the bread, and on to the main courses. We ordered the lasagna Bolognese, fettucine alfredo and the chicken parm. The lasagna was decent, I wasn't too impressed with the accompanying Bolognese sauce, but overall a good dish. The chicken parm was your standard chicken parm, well made though. The spaghetti accompanying the chicken was fine, though a bit too chewy. Needed perhaps an additional 2 minutes on the stove. Last but not least was the alfredo. Creamy, rich, and perfectly al dente. We also ordered a couple of drinks, sadly they were watered down. As for dessert, we took a gander with the affogato. It was just OK. Not worth the 8$ if you ask me. Service was overall a bit slower than expected and the food took a good 20-30 minutes to hit our table. Staff were nice and cheerful, but I expected more from a joint with 4.9 stars. Not bad, not great, but not coming back. 3.7/5

5/5 Stars – An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Pazzo Pastaria, Thanks to Audante If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine served with exceptional hospitality, Pazzo Pastaria in San Antonio is a must, especially if you have the pleasure of being served by Audante. Our group of seven enjoyed an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Audante went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. His service was attentive without being intrusive, and his knowledge of the menu helped guide our choices. His professionalism and warmth made the evening even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding. Every pasta dish was cooked perfectly, with rich, authentic flavors that impressed the entire table. But the real highlight was desset. The Panna Cotta was silky and just sweet enough, the classic Tiramisu was layered with espresso-soaked perfection, and the Lemon Tiramisu offered a bright, refreshing twist that we couldn’t get enough of. Each dessert was as memorable as the main courses. Between the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding service, and unforgettable flavors, Pazzo Pastaria is a true gem. And Audante? He’s the kind of server who makes you want to return again and again. If you’re in San Antonio, don’t miss this spot—ask for Audante, and prepare for a meal you’ll be thinking about long after you leave. Bravo, Pazzo Pastaria. We’ll definitely be back.

Quaint Italian restaurant with some of the best food I've had. Pastas are all homemade fresh. Wide selection of pastas and sauces. We had a party of 8 and everyone's dish was superlative. I highly recommend this family owned, neighborhood place. Update - second visit we tried some desserts and all were great. Standouts were the churros made from polenta served with salted caramel sauce. Save room for dessert and you won't be disappointed.

Went there with a large group of people (20). We had reservations and the food and service were excellent. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and ate the whole thing. Awesome place, try this place.

Lunch is from 11-5 pm!! Lunch specials start at $10 includes soup or salad AND fettuccine Alfredo it spaghetti marinara. $15 has pastas with protein in them. You can add proteins for an up charge. Shelby was wonderful and the owner comes table side to greet you. Impressed with a beyond 3pm lunch cutoff. Take advantage!! I rushed everyone thinking lunch was going to be unavailable. Sweet service and delicious food.

My best friend was craving Italian, so I hopped on Yelp to find a new spot--and I'm so glad I did. We came across this place and were absolutely blown away by the entire experience. From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive service, everything was top notch. And the food? Nothing short of incredible. Every bite was a reminder of why I love Italian cuisine. This place has officially become my new favorite. Just a heads-up: if you're planning to come on the weekend, definitely make a reservation--it gets busy, and for good reason!

First time at Pazzo Pastaria...meeting my family for lunch. Pazzzo appears to be a neighborhood restaurant with a warm and welcoming feel. They have a lunch menu, which is reasonably priced. It feels like your at home in your mom's kitchen. Our server Shelly highlighted a few popular dishes and ones like chicken Parmesan and Eggplant Parmesan that can only be ordered at lunch. We ordered the spaghetti bolognese, chicken Parmesan, lasagna bolegnase and chicken piccata bowl. The owner visited our table to inquire about our meals. In unison we said delicious! All their pastas and dishes are made from scratch. The spaghetti was a bit larger than the standard sphaghetti but tasted very fresh. Paz'zo Pastaria was a hit for us!

A++ on everything! Met another couple for dinner on a Wednesday night. MADE RESERVATIONS- yes, even on a Wednesday. This place fills UP! We sat in a cozy corner where we could enjoy our evening with friends. Our server was amazing. (I feel bad that I cannot remember her name! ) She made fabulous wine & dinner suggestions- and was so knowledgable on the entire menu. Attentiveness was on point. Everything we ate was delicious! All pastas are made fresh to order and WOW does that make a difference! Appetizers-Calamari with delicious dipping sauce, and Spin/Artichoke dip. Lasagna- huuge! And our friend really enjoyed his Chicken Parm. Husband really enjoyed his Buccatini con Salsiccia (+sausage & red pepper..) Excellent! We'll be back again!

Highly recommended fresh pasta and Italian fare with wine, beer, house made coffee/espresso/ and Italian soda service. We had the incredible calamari that was fried perfectly with lemon and fried peppers, rich risotto and sautéed spinach, then the Toscana and chicken Parm. Fresh made pasta makes a big difference. It's cooked al dente and is chewier than what you might be used to but man is it PERFECT. Would highly recommend you call ahead, this place is packed fast and has a cozy atmosphere. Outstanding.

Food was amazing! Such a cute little spot, family owned. We had the arancini which was great, a little less crispy than I'm used to but delightful. Then we split the gemelli Milano and the chicken parm. I asked for the chicken parm to be spicy and the waitress said the chef loves to make the food extra spicy, which ended up being amazing! Finally finished off with a tiramisu which was a nice large serving, however we were just so full by that point. Definitely check this place out! Service was slow but it was such a calm dinner we had no issues

Food was scrumptious! We went at lunch time, so I wasn't able to try the calamari which I was super bummed about but I'll definitely be back for dinner! And next time, I won't make the mistake of getting the small bowl of pasta either LOL. The price was definitely affordable considering the quality of the food! The noodles are so delicious! My partner got the gemilli alla Milano & it was to die for!!! Service was fine. I appreciated the owner/manager(?) coming by to see how we were enjoying our meal. The place is quaint, dimmed lighting, and romantic for a causal date night with exceptional food!

Another great meal at Pazzo Pastaria. Lauren took great care of us this evening. They have a very nice wine list. I like that the pasta dishes come in small and large sizes. Homemade pasta is best eaten right after being cooked perfectly al dente. My wife started with the Feature Salad, which included pine nuts, cheese, pears, and greens. I had the small Caesar salad. Both salads were tasty with just the right amount of dressing. My wife's entree was the Uptown Cluck and it was huge. You need a big appetite for what they are throwing down. Crispy chicken breast, aged prosciutto, fontina cheese, whole grain Dijon white wine cream sauce with buttered fettuccine, roasted mushrooms and fresh green beans. The crust on the chicken was perfectly cooked and chicken inside was hot, tender, and flavorful. I had the Gemelli alla Milano which was Sliced chicken, roasted cremini mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted garlic cream sauce, Romano cheese, fresh gemelli pasta. Very good and the small was enough to fill me up.

Stopped at our favorite Italian place on a random Tuesday - fortunately they were able to seat us!! Super fresh Ceasar salad and their fabulous bread with herbed olive oils as starters. Many choices of lovely beverages. Hubby went with a very nice and hearty Rustico - including house-made sausage that was super flavorful. I went with the gorgonzola pasta - one of my very favorites! Portions are generous and of course we both went with large so we could have leftovers for tomorrow. Stuffed but still shared the flourless chocolate torte. Ginny and all her staff were friendly and efficient. Amazing cleanliness. Love the fresh flowers in the gender-neutral bathroom. If you have not been to Pazzo Pastaria you are missing out! Great for a special celebration, a family dinner, date night or "just because"! Truly the BEST of many Italian restaurants in this city of foodies.

Alright! This has got to be the best Italian restaurant I've been to....ever! The pasta is home made and the the dishes were so tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The place was clean and cozy. But more to the point... the food was awesome and really put Paesanos to shame. I know I look forward to going back to try their other dishes. Cheers Pazzo... thanks for making my rough day into a pleasant evening.

We were so happy to find this amazing restaurant. It is nestled in a shopping center and there is ample parking. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and seated promptly. The menu was very varied, with different options. Our server brought bread and a nice dipping oil. The wine menu is very diverse too. The chicken was very moist and tender. The lemon sauce was also very well balanced with the other items on the plate. My husband said that the food reminded him of being invited to dinner at his Italian neighbor's house as a kid. We will definitely add this to our dinner rotations. Thank you!

Everything was great, cannot recommend enough. Service was the perfect level of attentive and very very nice. The atmosphere was also fantastic for a night out. We started with the autumn crostini and the garlic, mushrooms and tomato were cooked perfectly. I had lasagna bolognese and my girlfriend had the primavera. So so good. You can tell everything is made from scratch in house. I also got the sparkling strawberry lemonade and it was perfectly sweet. No complaints on the coffee afterwards (although I do wish they had alternative milks for them but after eating lasagna I'm not in a spot to be worried about lactose lol)

We went for Valentine's weekend, and what a great decision that was! The place gets busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. It has cozy welcoming family feel the moment you walk in. We arrived a bit early and were seated right away with a smile. Our server, Chris, was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Now, the food... absolutely delicious! I ordered an off-the-menu dish with salmon, white sauce, lemon, capers, and red onions. The noodles were made fresh in-house and honestly might be the best I've ever had in San Antonio. For a moment, I felt like I was back in Italy! My husband had the lasagna--which I assume was amazing since he didn't offer to share a single bite! It's a bit of a drive for us, but so worth it. We'll definitely be back, and we're already recommending it to friends and family!

This is by far the best Italian food I've ever had in my life! When you walk in, it's like walking into an Italian sitcom with the owner greeting you with a smile and treating you as family. Everything is made in house from scratch. Our server, Katie, was also a true gem. I will be back! I need to try everything on the menu.

There is a parking lot but there are other great businesses (bakery, salon, other restaurants) at the same center and I think I counted less than ten open parking spots left. They were busy and it smelled fantastic when I went inside. Unfortunately they were so packed and busy and I couldn't eat there but I did get to order Togo. It took about 20 minutes and I didn't see an espresso machine. I am excited to try it next time I visit. We order a ton of food! I had two appetizers and we ate it all. Everyone loved the spinach artichoke dip. The noodles are hand made. It is so good and the sauce is tasty! The large size is super large! I think I should have only ordered a small but leftovers are fantastic. We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, pappardelle bolognese, gemeli allá pesto. They do not do a carbonara Togo. I have already made a list of what I want to eat next time.

SUCH GOOD FOOD!! so fresh, comes out hot and tastes amazing. service is spectacular and such a small and cute restaurant. the one thing that was disappointing is they reserved the table after us and asked us to leave an about hour after we sat down. they did tell us when we sat down but we weren't expecting to be asked to wrap it up super fast. i would definitely go back but not at a big time so we can enjoy the meal without feeling rushed.

Six stars. The really is a hidden gem, and I am so glad that I tried this restaurant. I made reservations become it was recommended. It can fill up quickly. It is a small, quaint, and quality Italian restaurant. They make the pasta fresh!!! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are more than satisfying. Our waitress Lauren was top-notch. Her recommendations were spot on. had the bread, artichoke soup, speindi, gemili milano, and the uptown cluck and Panna Cotta. You can taste the love in the food. The garlic cream sauce was so rich and full of depth. The uptown cluck was fried to perfection, and the sauce complimented the chicken so well. It was a wonderful treat to end a very stressful week. I can't wait to come back.

We were hungry and in search of finding a new Italian restaurant. We found this small mom & pop restaurant in our area. My husband researched and made sure it had good reviews so we tried it. Signed in and our wait began. An hour later no call but I saw a woman run out to look for someone so we went inside to meet her and she sat us finally! The place had a romantic and intimate ambiance, little lights shining everywhere. Except I couldn't see the menu too good in what seemed to look stained from food. We ordered our food. I asked for a strawberry lemonade that said on the menu only one refill was allowed. I asked mine with little to no ice and she wanted to know why I didn't want no ice?! As if it were an inconvenience. I ordered the eggplant ...then my daughter asked for the meatballs on the side with the marinara sauce and again like it was an inconvenience!? My husband asked for the Gamberi a la Vesuvius & my son the chicken Alfredo. When we got our meals everything looked great and they gave us some parmesan with it. Eggplant was really good but only 3 pieces with some tasty garlic spaghetti that tasted so good, blending the flavors so well! My son & daughter had good experiences with their plates but my husband said his plate was not at all spicy like it said it would be and shrimp was rubbery...for the wait, the price and no strawberry lemonade refill we weren't impressed. Maybe we came on an off day, I really wanted to like this place, I'll have to try it again at a later date.

Absolutely a hidden gem of a restaurant. Located at the end of a small strip center, this seemingly secret Italian venue was a joyous surprise. From the time we walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. In general, the dining room was small-ish, but the number of tables satisfied the room and the decor felt like home. We even had the owners stop by to welcome us and ask if we needed anything at all. From the beginning, our server made himself available and took our order of drinks. As we were waiting for others in our party, we ordered the calamari appetizer. Having had my share of fried squid over the years, this offering was absolutely tender and delicious... and a large serving as well - the best I've had in years. The menu is a good size, neither too big nor small. Based on some positive reviews, I ordered the Chicken Picatta. I was honestly blown away. The lemon-butter covered chicken was perfectly tender, and it was accompanied by some of the best in-house made pasta I've had as well. There was a healthy portion of veggies that filled the plate and the friendly portion of artichokes satisfied my pallet. I would definitely order it again. Upon closing the meal with friends, we ordered a couple orders of the panna cota, which was a refreshing mouthful of flavor. Based on the meal we had that also included a couple glasses of wine, it was VERY well priced. Considering the masterful meal from the kitchen and the very welcoming service we had, this made our experience no less than 5 stars. I can't wait to come back!

Everything was amazing. Server Dante was informative and attentive. Owner checked on me a couple times with a warm friendly smile. Chicken picata was a large chicken breast with perfectly cooked, garlicky, homemade spaghetti noodles, veggies were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Calamari was nice and crispy, they were good, but not the best I have ever had. The tiramisu was a delicious huge piece, about 5" x 5", by far, the biggest piece I have seen. All in all, I would highly recommend this Italian Restaurant and will revisit before I head back home.

I came here wanting lasagna but the waitress told me that they were out so I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta was cooked to my liking, al dente, the way pasta is supposed to be made and they are generous with the meatballs. Pazzo gives you 4 while other Italian restaurants give you 2. For dessert, I had ordered panna cotta with blueberries which I liked. The free bread was good and the service was excellent. The manager or owner even came by my table and asked how I liked everything. I'm definitely coming back!

We headed to @pazzopastaria for dinner tonight. Busy night and full house! It's part of the San Antonio Gold Diner Program! Complimentary bread and dip was fabulous! I probably ate too much foccacia! I had the Black Ridge Merlot, Dad and hubby had the Blueberry Lemonade. We started with the Autumn Crostini and Roman Wedgie. Huge portions of food! Dad and hubby shared the Lasagna. I had the Gamelli al Pesto. We brought lots of food home. With the Gold Program, we had free dessert for getting 2 entrées. We had the Orange Cake. Will have to go back to try the Limoncello Tiramisu!

Consistently the best Italian food that I have ever had. We have been there 20 times and it is our favorite place to introduce friends It is great when they text a picture of us saying thank you. The portions are huge both small and large so share. The Cesar salad is a standout with the most perfect dressing!! The escargot is also a standout!

Add this review to the rave list! Traveling between Victoria and Austin, we bookmarked 5 Yelp recs for Italian food. Pazzo Pastaria was our first stop since it had the perfect 5 star but we were willing to do a visual run by and leave if it didn't feel right. I'll be honest I was the first one to say - let's check out the others after pulling into the parking lot. One more glance at the yelp reviews made me decide to take a chance and I'm so glad I did. Not 1, not 2 but 10 made from scratch pastas lined their menu! We opted for the spaghetti with meatballs, paparadelle bolognese and Penne Allá Rústica. Every dish solid and delicious with extreme value portions. The bolognese got my vote for best dish but all 3 extremely tasty with table side grated parm to boot! The arancini appetizer was authentic and tasty and the complementary fresh baked bread divine. I only wish the portions had been smaller to save room for dessert. Ambience is charming and comfortable. As we sat many faces familiar to the staff came in to dine giving a true local fave feel. Our server, Shelby, could not have been more congenial and passionate about the food. Such an awesome service experience to accompany the wonderful cuisine with the end result being a dining experience to remember and hope to recreate.

Really enjoyed this local spot. The ambiance to me is casual, yet still romantic. Great for a date night. They aren't too big but in this case it's better for that imitate feel. All the service received was extraordinary from the moment we walked in. Our server was really attentive and answered all our questions. Th food was like a taste of Italy in your mouth! One thing to note is their pasta is al dente which means you may fell a bit firm to you but again, this the Italian way. This is not your big chain OG, there is no comparison. I got the lasagna Bolognese and my husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. The food was delicious! My two year old is a bit picky and that day was all about the food. The lasagna did not taste like it had too much tomato. It was just right! The size on my picture is a small and it was enough for me. My husband ordered the large size spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were so tender and not heavy. I couldn't believe it. Oh they also bring your table some bread and olive oil, it was freshly baked so yummy! They also made some wine suggestions on what would pair best with our food. Great choice! For dessert we had Italian churros and they were so soft. They just melt in your mouth. At the end we had a little accident and the staff was so nice and helped clean up our mess. What can you say when you dine with kids. This place is hidden but I've been recommending it to friends. If you want some authentic Italian food you must stop here and support local! Buon Appetito!

The good was amazing. They make their own pasta. I had the pasta bolognese. The sauce and pasta made me make a "yummy" sound. We had the churros for dessert. Omg! Sooo good. We will be back. Make a reservation if you're going on a Friday or Saturday night.

We came here for a double date over the weekend and everyone LOVED what they got. Everything here is made to order and you can absolutely taste the difference. We even saw them making our pastas! Service was so great, not long of a wait even though meals are made to order. This is definitely a place we'd recommend to our friends & family.

This place is sort of like a hidden jewel. I would've never noticed it although I drive by it quite frequently. the young man who served us was on it and provided excellent customer service. The food was delicious. I wish the prices would be a little bit lower for the amount of food that you do receive, however, the customer service makes up for it.

This is the best Italian food we've had in San Antonio. Don't let the location fool you, it's seriously legitimate! My wife had the lasagna and I had the eggplant parmigiana, and a bread course and calamari, along with the house chianti, we had a lovely meal, and fantastic service. We will be back!

Where do I start with this amazing little Italian spot hidden away when it should be highlighted to everyone!?! This place is a hidden gem to say the least! Everything is freshly made and amazingly perfect. The location and inside is a little small but it makes for a good quiet personal experience. Ther service is quick, reliable, and attentive. The whole crew is dedicated to your experience as well as your needs being met. Amazing, you have to try it!

This has to be the best italian food in town. Locally owned and good vibes. Everything was made from scratch, from the drinks to the food. The best fettuccini alfredo i had before tonight was in similar place in Ireland, THIS TOPPED THAT. I usually have a hard time eating all of my food, but tonight I had a hard time stopping myself from eating my entire plate. The spaghetti and meatballs were also good and my spouse finished his plate as well. Our waitress Lauren was phenomenal and super sweet too! My true rating is 11/10. We will definitely be coming back!!

My family and I have visited twice and here's what we have concluded. First, don't order chicken unless you enjoy eating cardboard. Their Italian sodas had zero carbonation and if you want to go here and chat over dinner, DON'T. The restaurant was so extremely loud you won't be able to hear the person sitting next to you, let alone the one across from you. For the price of entres, you could get a bottle of wine and a pasta dish at Olive Garden and not be able to tell a difference in quality. Don't waste your hearing on this place.

Friendliest service and amazing food made this quaint little restaurant standout as a great date night spot. I definitely recommend the chicken marsala; it was beyond exceptional. My husband had the chicken piccata and said it was a new favorite for him.

I finally tried this restaurant on my lunch- everything was SO, SO delicious!!! The sauces and the flavors have great taste, and even the mushroom soup I had as an appetizer was the best I've had! The service was excellent. I can tell why this restaurant has so many 5- star ratings!!!

Service is great but the fresh made pasta every day is even better. Try it, you will love it like we do! It's also to make a reservation through Google to ensure you get a table.
