Impeccable service. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Everything was delicious as well. Great wine and food selection with gluten free options for my girlfriend as well! Overall fantastic evening!

The butternut squash ravioli was delicious and so was the Bolognese pasta. The eggplant was not eggplant Parmesan, it was eggplant cut up into three pieces with a piece of cheese on top and sauce poured over it. I would not recommend that.

We love the tradition of special holiday dinners at Palio: Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Day. It it now our tradition too. If you love italian fare and hospitality, check out Palio. Everything is homemade: from pasta to seafood, from their famous wood-fired pizza oven to craft cocktails.

We had a 3 course Italian as a large corporate group in the private dining room. Food was exceptional. Service was great. Service started with complimentary bread around the table with olive oil. Servers took choice of salad, first course. All courses had vegetarian options. Eggplant parmesan for main course and finished off with classic Tiramisu. Some of us also had coffee/latte to finish the meal. No complaints!!

Palio is one of the most welcoming restaurants in SF and had the most delightful servers and excellent food. I highly recommend it for lunch or dinner, small parties or large. Superb!!

I was in town for a week and made a stop here for dinner. Was looking for some sort of really good Italian dinner. I ended up picking a wonderful place. The service and food were both amazing with several really great choices. The drink menu was very creative and the bartender even offered to make drinks if you would give him your favorite ingredients. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area.

Nice italian restaurant in the Financial District that caters to local business people. Not many tourists make it here. Busy at lunch and after work. Happy hour has decent food discounts for small plates.

This was a business meal and it was excellent attentive service and the fritto misto was DELICIOU
Palio is, and has been for years, one of my favorite restaurants. The food is consistently delicious and well prepared and presented. The service is efficient, courteous and professional. The restaurant itself was renovated a few years ago, is very attractive and well appointed. Many of the staff have been there for many years, which I believe is the sign of a well-managed restaurant. Martino di Grande, the owner, is the consummate professional, and a wonderful man who greets patrons warmly and makes sure everything goes well. I heartily recommend Palio for small and large groups alike.

Traditional old style Italian with superb service and excellent taste. Prices also reasonable. Great conversation with the server who is well travelled and read. Certainly recommended!

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.
