    It’s always a great meal at Semolina. The cace Pepe was too peppery for us, but prepared well. We couldn’t resist having the pork, which was delicious as usual.

    We had tickets for a 7pm show at the Count Basie Theater a block away so I made a reservation at Pazzo for 5:15pm for dinner before the show. We were seated a few minutes early which is always nice when you're in a time crunch. Once seated the waiter came over promptly and we proceeded with ordering our drinks, an appetizer and dinner. We did not rush anything and we were done with dinner and out the door by 6:15. The food was great as usual. We ordered mussels and lentil soup for an appetizer, chicken marsala and orichiette pasta w/ broccoli rabe for our entrees. I would definitely recommend Pazzo, but on a Saturday night you definitely need reservations!

    Waitress was very sweet and attentive. Food was good but I had a special that had filet tips in it but there was very little meat. . The pork was great and the veal Milanese was very good. I definitely would go back.
