Il Palio Restaurant

This review is actually old but just found it in my saved folder. This was based on our first experience some years ago but we keep going back and the sentiment remains the same so I thought I would post it.

We are truly blessed to find Il Palio. An authentic experience. We have eaten here several times and each time is better than the last. A comfortable, enjoyable restaurant to have a conversation in without yelling. The staff, food, ambiance and wine made for unforgettable dinners. Thank you for doing what you do and doing it so well.

Last night we celebrated my parents 50th anniversary and both of their 70th birthdays with a surprise party in the beautiful room downstairs. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT!!! The staff was incredible. Liz was wonderful to work with regarding logistics. Sue the bartender was so much fun! All of our quests LOVED her. Dannie was so helpful and accommodating. The adorable hostess that lead us downstairs was so fun and invested in the surprise she even recorded it on her phone. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was beautiful! Last night was such a magical night!

Great food, awesome service! This was the best dining experience we had while visiting NYC and Connecticut!
