Sarasota’s culinary scene is about to get a delicious new addition with the upcoming opening of Pazzo on Orange, a New York Italian-inspired restaurant. Located at 481 N Orange Ave, the eatery is owned by Frank Nocco, who is excited to bring a taste of New York to Florida.

While the original opening date was set for October 15th, the recent hurricane has delayed the launch by a few days. Although an exact date hasn’t been confirmed yet, Nocco assures that the restaurant is almost ready to welcome its first guests.

Pazzo on Orange will feature a spacious 124-seat setup, including outdoor seating, a private room for special occasions, a main dining area, and a bar. The menu will highlight authentic New York Italian cuisine, offering classic dishes that promise to bring the rich flavors of Italy to the heart of Sarasota.
