This place has been my favorite authentic Italian restaurant to go to since they opened. It is such a pleasure to know and befriend Massimo & Stefano, the two owners, who are so kind and warm to every patron. Their mushroom polenta is amazing and unique, one of my favorites!! Honestly everything on the menu was delicious, even their gelato and other desserts. I am so sad they closed, but I hope they reopen in a different location, wherever it is. I’ll be there ??

A special restaurant - top notch food, attention to detail, warm hospitality, cozy and charming with only a small number of tables. Feels like your favorite spot not far from the piazza...

Palato was an absolute gem! We went there for the first time on March 14th, 2024 and were amazed at the quality of the food and could not believe how reasonable the prices were. We planned to go frequently but unfortunately learned that it was closing on March 17th. We will keep an eye out for any new restaurant the owners might open in the future. We hope they do!

Our son recommended Palato’s and for once the kid steered his old man right! Haha. Our waitress was warm, friendly and most helpful with the menu. The owner stopped by our table a few times to check on us and was a very gracious host. Food was nothing short of spectacular from appetizers to entrees to gelato! We went with another couple and we each drove over 30 minutes to get there. Well worth the trip! We can’t recommend Palato Cafe any higher! Don’t miss it!

We love visiting Palato whenever we have an anniversary or a birthday to celebrate. Whether just as a couple or with my in laws too, it has become our families go to spot for divine Italian food.The cafe is small but aesthetically cosy, charming and welcoming. I love its warm lighting and the just as warm servers and owners. We always feel taken care of and that’s even before the amazing food has arrived.We’ve tried many dishes here and would recommend any of them but recently, as pictured below, I tried the mushroom pasta… and it was just so so so very good. Everything is fantastic!I’m always looking forward to eating here again.

One of the best Italian meals we've had outside of Italy. Felt like we were back in a small cafe in Italy with homemade pasta, sauces and perfectly cooked food. My wife had the Palato salad with crab, delicious shrimp, palm hearts, avocado and seasonings!!. We split a mortadella panzerotti which I've never had before- a sort of lighter and much better calzone- perfect flavors and dough. I had a house special bucatini with pork cheeks- just amazing. We finished it off with 2 homemade gelati and delicious cappuccinos that were perfect. We're new regulars!!!
