Great Italian Food! 🍝🇮🇹✨

Sean Carter Archer and his wife Virginia are crafting some of the best Italian cuisine in San Antonio at Pazzo Pastaria. You might blink and miss this spot — it's located just south of the big HEB on Nacogdoches. We discovered them on the San Antonio Restaurants Facebook page and decided to give it a try. They're also part of the San Antonio Restaurant Gold Club, offering perks to its members. 🏆💳 Sean is truly a refined local chef with extensive experience from Chez Ardid and other renowned kitchens. His food reminds me of Boston's North End — authentic and full of soul. Virginia manages the front of the house with grace, personally checking in with every guest to ensure a warm and welcoming experience. The place is cozy, so reservations are highly recommended! 🕯️👨🍳 The bread served with olive oil and balsamic dip is a delightful start. While many places serve pasta, Chef Sean makes fresh pasta daily — you can tell by its perfect al dente bite. If you think pasta is just about mac and cheese from a box, this will be a completely different — and wonderful — experience! 🍜❤️ I also love that salads and many main dishes come in small and large sizes. Even the small Caesar salad is bigger than most side salads elsewhere, and the dressing has a lovely garlicky kick. 🥗🧄 The menu offers plenty of fantastic choices. My wife ordered the Pasta Carbonara — the sauce was incredible. I went for the Bucatini with Florentine chicken, mushrooms, and fresh spinach in a white wine butter garlic sauce — flavorful but not overpowering. 🍷🍗 Using the San Antonio Restaurant Gold Club app, we enjoyed a complimentary blueberry sauce panna cotta — creamy, smooth, and the perfect sweet ending to our meal. 🍮💙 They also clearly state the credit card fee on the menu and offer a 3% discount for cash payments — transparent and customer-friendly! 💵✅ #PazzoPastaria #ItalianFood #SanAntonioEats #FreshPasta #LocalChef #GoldClubPerks #DateNight #FoodieHeaven #MustTry 🎉🌟🔥
