Aren’t you always searching for a charming restaurant on the shoreline? When the weather is fine, and you’re meandering through summery towns like Guilford, Madison, Clinton and Westbrook, and the dinner hour is approaching, don’t you wish you’d magically happen upon a little restaurant with beautiful food served in an atmosphere that’s warm and attractive, but not forbiddingly fancy ... with maybe a patio outside?

Whenever I'm driving along Route 1 in Westbrook, which is a small town, I'm always surprised to see so many restaurants, from clam shacks to big steak houses, old standards alongside the occasional newcomer. There may be no easy answer to this puzzler. It's almost “crazy,” to use the English translation for Pazzo, a cozy little Italian restaurant that is the new guy on the block here. But maybe one way toward a solution is to eat through the problem. That's what we set out to do one cold weeknight recently in Westbrook, as a full moon cast long shadows across the many big restaurant parking lots along Route 1, and we passed signs promising seafood, cocktails, steak and pasta.

PAZZO is a small Italian restaurant that opened on Route 1 in Westbrook a
little less than two months ago. It has already been discovered: I haven't
encountered a slow night yet.
(Don't make the mistake of thinking you can get away without a reservation on
a weekend.)
