Pazzo Ristorante, Portland, OR P13
 
Recent months have seen several shifts in personnel.  While that is a concern to the newspaper critics, my only concern is:  Is the food good and a good value?  Pazzo's has always been excellent, with some interesting pasta dishes not found at other Portland area Italian restaurants.  Service is excellent once you get past the somewhat pretentious greeter/host/hostess, who on my several visits always seems quite a bit affected with their importance, and who doesn't reflect anything like a "welcome".

That said, once seated, Pazzo's is an excellent Italian restaurant on the corner of Washington and Broadway.

Parking can be a bit of a problem downtown, but you can self park across the street at the Bank of California parking lot for about $5 and save a lot of time looking for a parking place.
