In the heart of Manhattan, the fun and hip oasis of Pazza Notte provides a daily escape from the chaos of the city. With 2-for-1 martinis all night long, it truly becomes a "crazy" place where the fabulous fashion crowd mingles with sophisticated Midtown professionals looking for a happening after-work scene. Pazza Notte's extensive list of exotic martinis won the Time Out magazine 2006 Eat Out Award for best cocktail list in the city, through its sister restaurant Loft. Just as fashionable is the cuisine billed as Franco-Italian; the menu was created on the philosophy of doing the basics, and better than anyone else. Taken to another level, this "crowd-pleasing" fare uses only the finest and freshest ingredients, hence the abundance of freshly made items, from breads to pastries to pasta. The eye-catching staff is perhaps an equal draw for Pazza Notte. While servers are personable, professional and passionately committed to a smooth, fun experience, they don’t hesitate to "leave you slightly intoxicated as well." It’s a name well-suited for a night on the town, and Pazza Notte is the perfect place to start ... and stay.
