About

Pazzo opened in the Boston neighborhood of Roslindale in 2003, moved to West Roxbury in 2008 and closed up shop to focus on rare books in 2014. While still generalists at heart, we focus on cookery, early printed books and literature. We are open by appointment and chance at 4258 Washington St. Suite 7 in the scenic Boston neighborhood of Roslindale, MA just steps from our original storefront location.
