    Our first visit to this new restaurant. Nice atmosphere, quiet and able to visit. Pasta entrees tagliatelle and wild boar ragu and sauce with paccherie and eggplant flavorful…the pasta was under cooked and should have melted in the mouth as it is freshly made. Dessert wonderfully done and appetizer (calamari with Calabrian aioli) quite tasty.

    Had dinner in restaurant. Service was good. Food was decent but grossly over priced. E.g. shrimp dish was $46 (I think) and came with four very small single bite shrimps (and nothing else). Price / value comparable to Manhattan (not Frisco).
    Palato Italian Kitchen and LoungeResponded 6 days ago
    Hello Mark, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our service, but we're sorry to hear that our food did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide excellent quality food, and your comments about the shrimp dish and pricing have been noted. We will certainly take them into consideration as we continuously work to improve our offerings. We do have a new March menu with new price points coming out next month. Perhaps you can stop in and we can leave you with a more positive experience.

    What a great new addition the to Frisco Restaurant scene, wonderful decor casual dining. On the ground floor of the new Hall Park Hotel next to the Monarch Butterfly Rest Stop, Kaleidoscope Park in the larger Hall Park opposite The Star complex. Stylish colors and lighting, 2 bars serving Italian curated cocktails. Serves Brunch (Sat & Sun) Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all week. We did the $20 Express Lunch choice of soup, 1/2 salad, sandwich or dessert. Had the Radicchio salad and Sandwich - Eggplant, Pesto, Mozzarella, Arugala, Tomato - large serves. Well priced drinks. All food and drinks reasonable. Friend had the Radicchio salad and Turkey Club Will definitely go back. Outside patio ready in a few weeks.

    The restaurant is beautiful and the live music was a wonderful surprise. Food was good. Only negative was our waiter smelled very strongly of smoke. It was overwhelming and detracted from the entire experience.
