Palio - Grand Rapids

We came on a Tuesday for dinner before a concert. We really liked the atmosphere. The drinks were great. We really liked the wood fired bread we had for our appetizer. My wife got a Caesar salad, it had a tart off-putting flavor and a touch under dressed with gigantic croutons (which were really good on flavor, just huge). The Alfredo with grilled chicken was good and authentic, but could use a pop of flavor (it was flat or bland on the taste). My spiral pasta dish was fantastic and the shrimp scampi was great as well. Overall, we will be back again! We really enjoyed our meal there.

I'll start off by saying that this was my first time dining at Palio. Overall, it was a very nice experience. The setting for the restaurant is semi-formal, but very comforting. Definitely a place you could wear something nice to dine, but you don't have to. The wait staff is excellent. The waitress that attended to me for the evening, was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The food was very delicious. The wait time from order to service was very minimal...despite being very busy in the restaurant. The food had a very good presentation. The table ordered the eggplant and salmon dishes. Followed up by a tiramisu for dessert. The only complaint that I have is about the drinks. Not that the drinks were terrible. The drinks were very well balanced. The drinks were very delicious. The drinks are a little pricey, but honestly, they're worth it. The complaint that I'm referring to is for the bartending staff. I felt really bad for them because they were getting slammed with drink orders and they have the tiniest little area to work in. The bartender is actually mixing drinks on a shelf. It seems very odd and borderline unprofessional for them to do that or to be expected to do that. For the quality of drinks that the bartender is making, they need a proper area to make these drinks. Aside from that, I will be returning to this restaurant. I'll be returning for dinner and or desserts and drinks.

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. The service was friendly and fast, and the outdoor patio is nice if the weather permits.

Came here last night with some friends and the service was amazing. Great atmosphere, pizza was delicious and our server Jenna was very funny nice and suggested great menu options for my friends who didn’t know what to get. I would recommend going here to eat.

Palio did a wonderful job at making my boyfriend's birthday special! The service was great and we received our food quickly-especially for a Friday night. The pasta was amazing and my boyfriend said the tiramisu was the best he has ever had (and he has had quite a bit). We will definitely come back!
