Cane Pazzo

Cane Pazzo is an outstanding Italian restaurant and an absolute hidden gem on Yeamans Hall Road. From the moment we sat down, everything was dialed in. We started with the house bread, which was incredible on its own and set the tone right away. Then came the crispy mozzarella sticks, and I honestly was not prepared for how good they were, easily some of the best cheese sticks I have ever had, perfectly crispy, rich, and full of flavor. For the main courses, I wish I could properly pronounce the Italian names, but I can say this, my wife’s pasta, dyed with squid ink, was hands down the best Italian dish she has ever eaten. My pasta featured shredded rabbit, and even though I own two rabbits, I managed to power through with only a little emotional hesitation, and it was absolutely worth it.

Dining at Cane Pazzo was delightful. We happened to be there celebrating a birthday, and were met with a hand-signed birthday card on our table, and the entire restaurant felt cozy and welcoming. The wait staff explained the menu to us, elaborating when asked. Everything was delicious, particularly the home-made pastas. The portion sizes were perfect, ensuring we had just enough room for dessert and aperitifs. We were pleasantly surprised with some of their limoncello, and had the blood orange sorbet and some cannoli, which was served with a lit birthday candle…a nice lil touch! Highly recommend Cane Pazzo for your next night out!

Cane Pazzo is truly a gem for anyone who loves Italian cuisine. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

I didn't realize reservations were highly recommended.... but luckily, we got there right at opening. Manager greeted us warmly, and offered to seat us at the bar. Bartender was super friendly, really great guy, helped make our evening special. My friend got the Lumache with bolognese... all the pasta is made fresh in house. Absolutely perfect al dente, and the bolognese was rich, flavorful, incredible. I got the saffron risotto with pork ragu. After my first bite, all I could say was "Wow!". Absolutely perfect cook, incredible flavor, and the saffron was fragrant and delicious. The garlic crumble on top gave it a perfect contrast of texture. Service was attentive but not overbearing, glasses were kept full. This was an absolutely stellar dining experience.

Excellent dining experience at Cane Pazzo. It is outside of downtown Charleston, therefore parking is a breeze. All their pasta is homemade. The oysters were perfectly fried to be able to appreciate the taste of the oyster. The cavatelli vegetarian pasta dish was very good and was a good portion size. Would highly recommend.
