Pazzo’s reasonably priced menu offers bar snacks, pizza, salads; bites light and heavy; the usual (veal parm), the less usual (chicken livers), and the in-between (wild boar Bolognese). It’s as wide-ranging as the restaurant itself, which starts with an outdoor patio, segues into a long room divided into corridorlike spaces, and ends with another big room downstairs. With so many seats it seems impossible to fill, and it’s often impossibly noisy, voices ricocheting off the brick walls. On a nice night, eating inside can feel a little lonely, even with the company of the lively waiters. It’s Newbury Street. Everyone is out on the patio.
