I'll start off by saying that this was my first time dining at Palio. Overall, it was a very nice experience. The setting for the restaurant is semi-formal, but very comforting. Definitely a place you could wear something nice to dine, but you don't have to. The wait staff is excellent. The waitress that attended to me for the evening, was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The food was very delicious. The wait time from order to service was very minimal...despite being very busy in the restaurant. The food had a very good presentation. The table ordered the eggplant and salmon dishes. Followed up by a tiramisu for dessert. The only complaint that I have is about the drinks. Not that the drinks were terrible. The drinks were very well balanced. The drinks were very delicious. The drinks are a little pricey, but honestly, they're worth it. The complaint that I'm referring to is for the bartending staff. I felt really bad for them because they were getting slammed with drink orders and they have the tiniest little area to work in. The bartender is actually mixing drinks on a shelf. It seems very odd and borderline unprofessional for them to do that or to be expected to do that. For the quality of drinks that the bartender is making, they need a proper area to make these drinks. Aside from that, I will be returning to this restaurant. I'll be returning for dinner and or desserts and drinks.
It was a mixed bag. Some of the foods were good, some did not really give up the boat of my party. Despite reservations and quick seating, it took forever to get our food. I appreciate the idea of everything that is made to order from scratch (see food restriction), but we had forgotten what we ordered on arrival of food. For the amount of time and money invested, it needed to top shelf, not just quite good. Not bad, but not great. I think they just need more time to iron out the bend. I think once they do, they'll be in the neighborhood to a stack. This place has a future, gives them another month.
All they're doing here is up! All pasta and other dishes were some of the best Italian cuisine I had. I had the chicken parmesan and the piece chicken is pretty big and juicy. The noodles were like nothing I ever had. The Tiramisu was pretty good, but her entrees, pizzas and apps are where they really shine. Also to complete it, they have free homemade limoncello shots (21 at the end of your dinner! If you have a large group, reserve. You also have outdoor terrace restaurants that looked pretty nice!
Add this to your list if you want Italian food. Everything is made from scratches and is amazing! The eggplant was so crispy and delicious. My wife had the mezzaluna with roasted beef short rib sauce. Wow! Do not sleep on the bruschetta di buratta. Excellent food!
