Il Palio was named after the race held each summer in Siena, Italy. Created with a passion, the restaurant has been exquisitely designed and beautifully finished with materials from all over the world. No stone was left unturned and time was not a factor in finding exactly what was required to make the "vision" a reality. The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant. Il Palio's fine Tuscan cuisine is a pleasing combination of the highest-quality ingredients and the caring preparation by chefs who take pride in the dishes they present. Like the race in Siena, Il Palio is creating lasting impressions.

    Six of us dined at Il Palio for our annual company Christmas dinner. We couldn't have selected a better restaurant! Their Christmas decorations and lights are really tastefully done. We were given a table in a semi-private location on the 2nd floor. In hindsight this was just perfect for us. Service was professional and well paced. Everything, from cocktails to appetizers to entrees and desserts were outstanding. Highly recommended.

    With the help of our personable and experienced server, we enjoyed Il Palio on a special occasion, ordering a bottle of wine, several appetizers and main courses from the ample menu offerings. While the room is very noisy, we enjoyed its muted lighting and well-designed decor, feeling comfortable and leisurely in a bustling space.

    Exceptional service by the entire team ann very good food. The place was very buzy and very festive. The tree lights outside were beautiful and great way to greet your customers. We have dined here many times and it is always a special evening. The food is very good but the service team is outstanding and extremely professional.
