Authentic Taste of Southern Europe in the Heart of Skien
Pazzo (pronounced Patså [pàz•zo]) is a French-Italian restaurant located right in the centre of Skien. Here, you’re welcomed into a warm and lively space where laughter, good conversation and shared plates are at the heart of the experience. It doesn’t take long to feel that Pazzo is about so much more than just food – it’s a place for people who truly appreciate classic European gastronomy and a great atmosphere. With rustic details, warm colours and an open layout, it almost feels like sitting at a local trattoria somewhere in Italy. The vibe strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and professional – exactly how it should be.
Good Vibes, Good Food, Good Wine – Simple as That
At Pazzo, everything is made from scratch. The modern menu is inspired by the rustic flavours of the French and Italian kitchen. You’ll find classics like wood-fired pizzas topped with cured meats, fresh mozzarella and herbs, alongside tempting pasta dishes with rich, flavourful sauces. Antipasti, salads and small plates are perfect for sharing – because as they say, sharing is caring. Ingredients are carefully chosen, from artisan sausages and cheeses imported from Italy to local produce that creates a beautiful balance between Tuscany and Telemark on the same plate.
Perfect for Everyday Treats or Life’s Celebrations
Pazzo has quickly become a local favourite in Skien, and Telemarksavisa even gave it an ‘impossible’ dice roll of 7. It’s the kind of place where you can just pop by for a glass of wine and a pizza at the bar or gather your entire group of friends around a table filled with Italian sharing plates. The wine list is packed with Italian treasures, and the staff are always happy to help you discover something new that pairs perfectly with your meal. The atmosphere is always vibrant – sometimes with a DJ or special events – so it’s not unusual for guests to stay much longer than planned.

With its down-to-earth concept, quality ingredients and true passion for good food, Pazzo has quickly become the go-to meeting place in Skien.
