Formerly Palaminos, now Nunzi's is a great place to go out for a delicious meal and some cocktails. The inside was beautifully done over with great modern decor and the food is amazing. Went with my wife and some friends( a party of 5) and each one really enjoyed their meal. My wife had the wild caught Salmon, I had the grilled chicken BLT, our friends had the Lemon chicken, pear salad with chicken and my buddy had the stuffed filet of sole... the sides ranged from delicious homemade mashed potatoes, to fresh broccoli and carrots to nice crispy fries. All came out with beautiful presentation...Hopefully the place will catch on and do well since the name change... Whoever tries it will be back. I'll be back!!

Bobbie was a great hostess. We got the calamari, which was tasty because they season the batter. Their bes for the table was so delicious. Homemade garlic butter. We got ribs, stuffed flounder, lobster fra diavolo, and lobster and cheese. We also got rum punch.

Just left palominos the day before September 1st. My girl ordered salmon and skirt steak the minute the dish hit the table it was like being in Staten Island in front of fresh kills dump. The rancid smell of fish did not allow me to even eat my dinner which was on the opposite side of the table. It also tastes terrible. I told the waitress what I smelled and tasted and wow she took off the one dish. She should have took off my Dish as well cuz I didn't eat it. The soup was okay. If you're asking me stay away from palominos cuz they don't do enough turnover with their dinners to keep fresh meat and fish in the refrigerator half a star if that. I'm praying my girl is not on the toilet all night

Had steak and salmon. The salmon smelled very fishy and tasted awful. My husband could not finish his meal across from me because of the rank odor. Got home and within an hour was sick. One and done for this place especially now seeing other reviews of the same issue. Stick with bar food instead because fancy meals are not your specialty.

Came here to celebrate a birthday and the experience was.... interesting to say the least. We called ahead to make a reservation and was told there was only one high top and everything was booked. We get there within 10 minutes and there's literally no one. Emphasis on NO ONE. Fine, so we sit at the high top. The place is in not so great condition and they were working on electrical wiring while we were eating. The bathrooms didn't even have door handles. There was one server and she was so lovely. She was friendly and attentive to our needs. Really trying her best to handle everything as she was the only employee there. The food was ok and the portions were big. The artichoke app could have been cooked a bit more and one of our baked clams was completely raw. Overall it was just an ok experience. The ambiance was not great and that was hard to get over.

I love this place. The service, the food, the two Bobby's and the Quick Draw!
Discover a hidden gem that offers more than just a bar experience. Indulge in great food that goes beyond your typical bar fare. Located in Franklin Square, this spot is the perfect choice for those looking for a late-night dining option. Don't expect ordinary bar food here; instead, enjoy restaurant-quality dishes that will leave your taste buds satisfied. Trust me, this spot offers some of the best restaurant-quality food in town.

The service was nice, we dined on a Thursday evening. The ambiance was typical bar, could use a little freshening up, but was overall very clean including the bathrooms. This looks like a bar with really tasty food to eat. They had numerous pasta dishes that included steak, lobster, and muscles. We started off with French onion soup, it was delicious and fresh. We had mixed drinks that were a perfect proportion of alcohol to mixer. Wine tasted fresh, although it wasn't a weekend day there was a decent 6pm crowd, dishes being brought back to the kitchen were empty. The service was okay, seemed like they had been short staffed, the bartender was servicing the tables and the bar when we were there, I felt bad she was busy. We didn't catch her name but she was kind and attentive to our table. The entrees were flavorful and fresh. I had a clam and shrimp linguini dish and my mans had an Alfredo spinach and chicken entree. They had a variety of deserts, the rainbow cookie cake and banana cheesecake tasted fresh. Overall had an excellent dining experience, really wish I hadn't judged the front of the place for the food as I'd been living in the area for a few years. Will be back to dine again!

Owner is not a nice woman. They also do not know how to shuck claims which is the easiest thing to do. Three different nights. Three different set of clams thrown I. The garbage. Amateurs

I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. It's clear that they take hygiene seriously.
