The staff was great, the setting was nice. The food is a complete different story. Won’t repeat.

Exceptional authentic Italian restaurant in GR! Palio is one of the only Italian restaurants in the city that isn’t first and foremost a sports bar. All of their food is made from scratch and tastes like it. They have an incredible wine selection but still have a decent selection of beer on tap for the non-wine lovers in your party.

I was staying at the hotel next during the recent ice storm and made it down the hill for dinner. So glad I did. Rachel was very welcoming and helped when I could not decide between the carbonara and marsala. Went with the carbonara, which is served with a little flair. The orichette melted in my mouth. They were closing early but I never felt rushed, just a little sad that I could not enjoy another amazing Italian margarita. I will be back next time I am in town.

I’ll start off by saying that this was my first time dining at Palio. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

We loved our visit to Palio today. Both meals were delicious, the salmon was perfect! If you’re thirsty, the strawberry limoncello sangria was really unique and tasty.

Everything they make here is from scratch! All the pasta and other dishes were some of the best Italian food I’ve had. I had the chicken parmesan and the piece of chicken is quite large and juicy. The pasta was to die for, the noodles were like nothing I’ve ever had. The tiramisu was pretty good, but their entrees, pizzas and apps are where they truly shine. Also, to top it off, they have complimentary homemade limoncello shots (21+) at the end of your dinner!

This place is very cute! We got delivery but I wish we decided to dine in because of how nice it is. The bolognese pasta is amazing and so is the fettuccine Alfredo. I love this spot and there’s even outdoor seating for a nice summer day. I can’t forget! THE MONKEY BREAD IS TO DIE FOR the whip cream is homemade and the caramel on top just adds to the warm soft cinnamon bread that melts in your mouth ☀️

Ambiance: I came here during the evening and the lighting is perfect.

Great food, great service. Don’t let the pizza by the slice exterior fool you, it’s a proper Italian restaurant inside.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner last night. Our server, Joey, made our dining experience memorable. He was very knowledgeable about the menu; he gave great advice as to which entrees we might like; and, he made sure my dessert had whipped cream. We will definitely be dining there again.
