Since 1986, Pazza on Porter has been a vibrant cornerstone of East Boston's Italian-American dining scene. We invite you to gather at our table on Porter Street for warm hospitality, lively energy, and dishes made to share.

Four decades in East Boston means knowing every regular by name — and always keeping a seat open for someone new.

In Italian, 'pazza' means wild or crazy, which is the perfect cue for our lively and energetic approach to dining. We believe in great food and a relaxed, social atmosphere where there is never a dull night.
