Tani Bleta

owner and Executive chef

Opening in 2008 in the heart of the financial crisis, Owner and Executive Chef Tani Bleta heard one thing often as he shared his dream of opening a restaurant: “You’re crazy!”

With a passion for fresh high-quality ingredients and spreading love through food, Chef Bleta was determined to make his dream a reality – recession or not.

Taking inspiration from the naysayers and his 10 years of studying Italian food and culture, I Pazzi was born – an Italian phrase that translates to “fools”.

Now, more than 15 years after opening, I Pazzi has embedded itself into the fine dining community of the North Shore of Massachusetts and attracts food-lovers from all over the country.
