At age the of 20, Chef Rafael moved with his wife to Cleveland, Ohio. His goal was to continue his Italian culinary skills which he acquired in the region of Verona, Italy.Chef Rafael was introduced to the restaurant industry at a very young age. His grandmother was very well known for her home-cooked dishes. She loved having her grandson with her as she cooked meals as soon as he was able to walk. He was six years old when he first learned how to make homemade pasta and, by age 14, he was ready to embark on his own culinary journey. His first stop was Verona, Italy,which was the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The romantic and rich architectural heritage of Verona was matched by the great culinary venues of that city and Chef Rafael's experience and skills grew exponentially. Three years later, Chef Rafael traveled to Belgium and France where he then experienced cooking French cuisine as well.

Food was fantastic, drinks took a while and weren't very good. But next time I'll have wine. Overall, it was a great meal. Had lobster risotto, was a large portion, and tasted amazing.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the Palazzo! We arrived in town late and made a last minute reservation based on a recommendation from my foodie dad. They did not rush us even as were a late reservation. The food was fantastic. The service equally as good. Homemade upscale Italian at its finest at a reasonable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
