Pazzo’s offers an assortment of unique flavors alongside its affordable food and wine.

Passersby on Alvarado Street may have noticed the colorful new Italian cafe tucked into the Monterey Gallerie, Pazzo’s Italian Café.

Weekender: Festivals and events for a rainy weekend

A wet weekend, Santa Cruz. But don’t worry, I have suggestions for — mostly indoor — ways to get out despite the rain. The Goat Hill Fair — offering antiques, crafts and collectibles, not livestock — returns to the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville tomorrow and Saturday. On Saturday, Annieglass in Watsonville hosts The Good Table, a creative fundraiser where 10 decorated tables compete for your vote. Each table represents a local nonprofit or cause, and every vote cast is a contribution.
