I just reconciled my credit card. I scan my receipts with Verify. I reconcile with Quickbooks. I left a generous tip of $13. Someone at POS made it $18 five dollars more. I had to dispute this charge with my bank. I am giving them benefit of the doubt that it was unintentional however unacceptable. I did a review about a month ago regarding the food which is amazing. read more

I love Pazza Pastaria! Never a bad meal, always attentive service. They are so good that for evenings, you really need to call for a reservation. I can recommend every single item I have eaten here!

Nice,clean,Cousy super friendly close attention. Owner personally attention. The waitress was very nice attentive with a great smile. The food was delicious. My Milano chicken. Don't let the small bowl fool you because it's a lot. The large spaghetti meatballs really two people could eat of it. The egg plant platter delicious. To make the story short everything was excellent!! I must say that I strongly recommend this place. Out of the other two places that I visited this is #1 the best of the 3. Must try place!! read more

An amazing early dinner. Our server Adonte was amazing. Super friendly and cheeky, the best type of server. The food was fresh, flavorful, and abundant. The portion sizes were very large. It is a small dining room so absolutely recommend reservations as we saw a party of 6 turned away. Will definitely return for another meal to try more menu items. read more

My loved ones took me to this restaurant because they wanted me to try it. They all had gone here before to try and loved it. It's a small restaurant. There's not a lot of seating. But it feels intimate though! I loved the decor too. Service was pretty good. The lady that attended to use was nice. We had the spinach artichoke dip. Any restaurant that can handle that is top for me. I ordered the pesto pasta. I forgot what type of noodles it was but it wasn't a type of noodle I had before. All I can say is that pesto was so darn good! 5/5 read more

we dined in this evening, we made a reservation as it was suggested online. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away. This is a small but lovely restaurant, mom and Pop Italian restaurant. We ordered the Autumn Crostini to start, and it was very good and flavorful with mushrooms, blistered tomatoes, fresh ingredients. Next, we had a Caesar salad that was very flavorful, beautiful, green lettuce, and Housemade dressing for dinner. I ordered the chicken Diablo, which consisted of chicken, shrimp, vegetable. My dish had a kick, but it was very good just the right amount of spice and the vegetables tasted fantastic. I can't wait to dine in here and try something different everyone at our table enjoyed their dishes, and the service was great! yummy! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Pazzo Pastaria - Great wine suggestion! - Italian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of the family. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made the evening feel special and comfortable at the same time. The staff was genuinely friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The food was absolutely outstanding. The scratch-made pasta was some of the best we've ever tasted--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with sauces that tasted like they came straight from Italy. Every bite reminded us why authentic Italian cooking is truly an art. This is hands down the best Italian meal we've had in a long time. It's the kind of restaurant that leaves you already planning your next visit before you've even left. Just make sure to book ahead--reservations are a must, and for good reason. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food with a true family touch. read more

We have been twice now and even have reservations again today! We happened to find this little gem in Yelp and so thankful! We (my husband and I, my brother and SIL, and my parents) have really enjoyed our meals and the service is super friendly and knowledgeable. We love that it's a scratch kitchen and we haven't had one thing that wasn't well worth it! read more

I have now been back many times. Over the last year they have become much busier. I have mixed feelings about my discovery becoming so busy but I'm happy for them. It's a small dining room so make a reservation. The pasta is clearly fresh made and the sauces are spectacular. This is elevated Italian dining for sure. In the half a dozen times I have eaten there it has never been anything other than excellent for everyone at the table. I do recommend pasta as that seems to be their specialty. They also opened a small deli/market next door. This is a take out only operation but the sandwiches are on par with the restaurant. I highly recommend both. read more

In house made pasta and sauces. Server was good. We were there about 90 min and politely asked to leave for guests waiting. It is a small place. I would go back. read more

Awesome fresh pasta, great friendly folks hands on. Garlic bread made there fresh, and cannoli is top notch. Don't be fooled by the strip mall entrance, funky, comfortable, small Italian style inside. Went for lunch, but will go back for dinner to check out their specials. read more

What a great place. So glad we have this place a try. The best pasta I have had in San Antonio. Definitely recommended.

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 read more

I went in for lunch when a friend had told me about how good they were. I was seated and after a delay due to miscommunication between servers, I was waited on. I got their wonderful lunch chicken alfredo with a wonderful soup with vegetables and sausage (I cannot recall the name). All of the ingredients were fresh and the restaurant has an intimate and romantic ambiance that makes you forget you are in a strip center. I loved the food and can't wait to go back for dinner! read more

Have gone on multiple occasions and the food was absolutely amazing. Each time my husband and ai have tried something different, and each time it was beyond what we expected. The service has been great. The owner/manager lady has always been the absolute best. Her wonderful attitude and personality has truly had us feel very welcome since our very first visit. Even one time I stopped by not knowing that they didn't sell bread or anything to go, but she was so kind as to let me have some bread fresh out of the oven. She went above and beyond, so we make sure to go back as often as possible. It was a little hot in the restaurant the last time we were there, but it's always a very welcome and peaceful environment. Highly recommend!!! read more

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! read more

Such a great Italian restaurant. They make all their own pasta. We had meatballs, chicken, Parm, lasagna, and another pasta dish. Everything was absolutely delicious. If you wonder why the lasagna is $25 per serving it's because it is enough for two. Service was wonderful. Very attentive. read more

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. read more

Excellent food and service. Wine list could use a little help, but that's not really what you venture in for. Go now. Today. Do NOT wait. It really REALLY is that good. read more

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! read more

We had our office Christmas party at Pazzo Pastaria. They accommodated a party of 12 during a busy lunch very well. We had very attentive servers and our food came out properly from this small kitchen. The food was beyond amazing. Homemade pastas, cooked and seasoned perfectly. The small portions were plenty, and the large portions made for great to-go. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem of a restaurant. read more

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. read more

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) read more

Pazzo Pastaria - Tabletop and Italian soda - Italian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Friday 135p visited 1st time solo. Plenty of parking. Not a huge restaurant only 42 chairs but seems adequate to maintain any customers with a delightful atmosphere. Since I was a walk-in that afternoon revealing plenty of seating & after tasting their food I can only Imagine why it's reservation only during dinner. Fantastic Italian lasagna with fresh ingredients & an unexpected large portion.. delicious! This is one time Yelps 5 Star reviews seemed accurate in my opinion. Servers were knowledgeable & pleasant. Although It's location on Nacogdoches is a bit far from my home I'll definitely be returning considering it was some of the best home made Italian food I've tasted in San Antonio. Highly recommend & thank you Pazzo Pastaria for serving San Antonio! read more

The food was great. It was fresh and well prepared. But what inspired this review was the little touch after the meal. Instead of our take-home package being set on the table, it was hung on a bag hook at the side of the table. We could continue our nice conversation after our meal without the bags sitting up on the table between us. It just felt so much more relaxing to end our meal without the cutter on the table. read more

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! read more
