ONLINE ORDERING AVAILABLE - ilpalioct.comIl Palio was named after the race held each summer in Siena, Italy. Created with a passion, the restaurant has been exquisitely designed and beautifully finished with materials from all over the world. No stone was left unturned and time was not a factor in finding exactly what was required to make the "vision" a reality. The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant. Il Palio's fine Tuscan cuisine is a pleasing combination of the highest-quality ingredients and the caring preparation by chefs who take pride in the dishes they present. Like the race in Siena, Il Palio is creating lasting impressions.

    Our server was very friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the Manilla Clams which were excellent and the Pistachio Encrusted Salmon which was over cooked. I ordered the Baked Rigatoni which was excellent.

    Exceptional service by the entire team ann very good food. The place was very buzy and very festive. The tree lights outside were beautiful and great way to greet your customers. We have dined here many times and it is always a special evening. The food is very good but the service team is outstanding and extremely professional.

    I had another of Osteria Romana's risotto specials, and it was very good. The shrimp with crqb stuffing served atop the risotto is a nice touch. The polenta with tomato sauce, an appetizer, was good, but definitely not worth the price. Another guest had the fettuccine bolognese and enjoyed it. This restaurant could up its bread quality - the bread was cold and rather gummy;. The noise level on a Saturday night was not pleasant, but this has nothing to do with the food

    If you’re seeking great food, great service and an energetic atmosphere Gabriele’s is the place to be! I had the veal chop with broccoli rabe and my wife had the bone on filet mignon with some mushrooms. Just sorry we didn’t take any pics. Delicious both visually and in taste. Can’t wait to go next time!!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Marcelo’s. We started with the roasted beet salad and the Italian Calamari. The calamari was amazing. The sauce was so good we used our bread to get every drop. I had the cod and my husband had the pasta with the short rib. Bother we’re very good. We had great and attentive service. We will definitely be back.
