Palio - Grand Rapids

Really good food at a very fair price. The lasagna, chicken parm, and Bolognese were all a big hit. Arancini was good as waS the ceasar salad.

Absolutely amazing authentic Italian cuisine. The strawberry lemoncello sangria was the bomb. I had the rigatoni Bolognese, and it brought back memories of learning to make bolognese sauce with an italian neighbor whose arthritis kept her from being able to make her homemade sauce. I'm telling everybody about this place and I definitely will be back

We have been to the restaurant 2 times and Both times the food was fantastic. Benny was our server both times and he is great. Made sure we had what we needed and made great recommendations. The combination of great food and top-notch service made for a truly enjoyable meal. I highly recommend Palio and will definitely be coming back!

Super disappointed. I worked late tonight and was exhausted so I decided to try the place around the corner.. I was not expecting three chicken parm to be that expensive. Over $70, apparently the menu price online needs to be updated. But it’s fine I knew it wasn’t cheap but wanted to do some dinner for my kids without standing over a stove in this heat.. however, I was surprised to find very small containers, about the size of a stouffers meal... it was a large portion of chicken though, so I ignored that.. however it was completely flavorless. The spaghetti was dry and I’m telling myself it was a piece of MY hair wrapped up in a noodle.. 🤞🏻🙏🏻 I was hoping to at least get a roll or garlic bread. Super waste of money. Even my high school boys, who love everything edible, didn’t like it. I threw it away and ate Doritos and made my boys a frozen pizza. Maybe I should call there but bc the price surprised me when I picked it up I’m sure they would just assume I was being cheap. But thought everyone should know before another hard working single mom wastes what is equivalent to the electric bill on it.

We celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary at one our favorite places. Our server Jacob was amazing! We sat outside on the patio and the atmosphere was great. The parmesean cheese wheel is back!!!! You must try the Alfredo dish if you haven't before. Great service, great wine, and great food. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! I have never been to a Michelin star restaurant, but I must say I felt like this would be it here. The food was well presented and flavorful. Everything was served in good timing, and the service was splendid. I could not believe how fresh the food was for the prices! I was expecting to pay quite more for this dining experience. Daniel was our server, and he was so down to earth and helpful. They have a tablet that allows you to see pictures of the dishes so you know what you are getting. I was told that it is busy mostly on Friday nights and Saturdays, so go during the week or Sunday for lunch. We were there with one other table, saw mostly carry outs. You must try the tableside fettuccine alfredo, which is tossed inside a wheel of parmigiano reggiano. You are allowed a sample, which is imported from Italy. Almost everything is locally sourced and made in the kitchen. We were also given a shot of limencello vodka at the end, complimentary. Desserts were amazing! I will be back when Im in town. Park at the Hyatt lot, and they do validate. Compliments to the chef!

The food was phenomenal, and to compliment that, our server Benji was absolutely amazing. He had well paced check-ins, got our food out in a timely manner and his personality was wonderful. We were truly lucky to have him as his server, and it honestly made the experience top-tier.

From the moment we were seated, Benji made our dining experience unforgettable. Friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, Benji struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, offered fantastic recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the entire meal.
What really stood out was Benji’s attention to detail and his ability to make every guest feel like a VIP. Whether it was remembering our drink preferences or checking in at just the right moments, his service was seamless and sincere.
If you're lucky enough to have Benji as your server, you're in for a top-tier experience. He’s a true asset to the team and the kind of person who turns a good night out into a great one. We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for Benji by name!

We had an amazing experience from start to finish. Our waitress, Emily, was thoughtful, pleasant and attentive. One member of our table had the table side alfredo. That server was also wonderful and played along with our table full of jokers. If we didn't live several hours (or half a country) away we'd definitely be back. All food and drinks we tried were excellent.

I went to dinner on a weeknight by myself. My waiters were attentive, the food while pricey was good. There were a couple guys ( Black) that seemed to have an issue with a single white patron. Other staff went out of their way to be positive and welcoming in light of it. I called the manager the next day to discuss what I observed and felt but since no words were exchanged it got left at that. When one of the staff goes out of their way to make snide innuendos when I'm paying my bill probably indicates I should seek out a different venue where I feel more comfortable treating myself to a late weeknight dinner.

The service and food is always amazing! Every time my mom comes to visit we go here!
