Stopped into Palio for a Happy Hour bite and drink on a Tuesday. Pizza was very good and enjoyed the House Red. I believe there were only 2 other people in the restaurant, so service was obviously very quick and attentive. Absolutely no complaints.

Palio is a gem. The carpaccio was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere felt both elegant and welcoming. A spot I’d happily return to again and again. Highly recommend

The restaurant is a great spot for a romantic dinner as well as a big family gathering. It is spacious and stylish. Best Italian food in the city. We come here often and love it for the bites and great service. Come here and you will be close to north beach, china town, Columbus st, etc.
