    Excellent original culinary experience. Beautiful, delicious recipes were memorable—baked oysters, sweet, tangy sauce with a little toasty bite of bread crumbs; the greens and croutons in the Caesar salad were fantastic—like no other area restaurant; the seafood ravioli, the sauce the pasta were so fresh and flavorful; both the cardamom cheesecake and the Bombolo chocolate mousse pie w hazelnut crumbs were light, smooth and creamy and the hot fresh French press coffee added aroma and a perfect ending. We splurged tonight including sharing in a rich bottle of Bordeaux wine. Likely one of our finest, most festive meals for a long time. Merci Mille fois, Bombolo chefs and excellent service team! Fabulous date night!

    Loved our dinner at il Palio. Service great as usual as was the food! We got calamari, cacio e pepe, black truffle tagliatelle, and both ordered scallops for dinner. Bomboloni for dessert was also amazing as usual! The black truffle tagliatelle is a personal favorite.

    We went on Valentnes Day, which is why the noise level was so high this particular day and it took longer than normal for our food to arrive. We won't hold that against them due to the place being completely packed. To be honest, I think they did awesome accommodationing everyone and had a great way of handling such a busy time.We've been to this location before and love the atmosphere and quality of food. Our server was awesome and very interactive with us. I'd recommend Maggiano's to anyone.

    Our favorite pizza in town! Love the thin, crispy crust and the size is perfect for one person. We always save room for gelato (tip: cafe de leche is to die for).
