Coco Pazzo in River North
Owner Jack Weiss and Executive Chef Jim Kilberg create a seasonal Tuscan menu abundant with both traditional and contemporary dishes. The plentiful display of antipasti and a wood-burning oven are the first things you’ll notice in this splendid loft space. With soaring ceilings, velvet drapes, and an antique bar—comfort is key at Coco Pazzo. In harmony with the menu, co-owner and Wine Director Tamra Weiss has created an award-winning, 200-bottle all-Italian wine list that boasts a unique selection of popular and small production wines. Wines are available in a variety of price ranges and there are 20 selections available by the glass.
Our Menu
Freshness is at the core of our menu. From tiny wild ramps, pea tendrils, and lamb in the spring to wild boar, house-made duck prosciutto, and wild-caught salmon in the fall—we will always offer you the best of the season. All of our breads are baked in house and our pastas are handmade fresh every day. In addition, every stock, sauce, pastry, and dessert is prepared by our passionate and creative staff. view the menus page
