What’s in a Name?
In the case of Nozzo Pazzo – not much.
We thought it was a fun play on words tying into our restaurants,
Pazzo Pomodoro which in Italian translates to Crazy Tomato,
albeit backwards. Nozzo sometimes means wedding in Italian,
but in our case think of it as “Not So Crazy”.
Vision
We have tried to create a small place where we
can prepare quality sandwiches, meats and cheeses sliced to order, sweets and savory treats, and the highest quality Italian coffees.
Eat in or take away.
Likewise, we wanted to provide our guests with a variety of
house made prepared foods, many of which you have
grown accustomed to in our in our neighboring
restaurant, Pazzo Pomodoro.
You will find our homemade pastas, lasagna, sauces & meatballs
to finish at home, as well as our now famous Caesar Salad.
In addition, our staff experimented for many months and created unique and delicious Potato Salad, Chicken Salad, Cole Slaws and other savory tidbits. We use and sell only the finest ingredients available, many imported directly from Italy.
Try us and let us cater your next luncheon or event.
