My mom and I had lunch today at Palazzo's Cafe on Briargrove. Donny and Sonja were so attentive to our needs and answered all of our questions with a smile. My mom ordered the eggplant parmesan and she said that it was the best of any other restaurant that she has tried. I had the meatball panini and it was so delicious and the portion was so much larger than anticipated. I also had their chicken noodle soup which was absolutely amazing. The chicken literally melted in my mouth and the broth was not overly salty like many soups at restaurants usually are. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience today and would highly recommend Palazzo's Cafe if you are looking for delicious food in a small and cozy cafe environment. This place is definitely a hidden gem here in Houston. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. ☺️

We ordered takeout based off their menu on their website (not 3rd party ordering) and their prices were different than listed. It wasn’t just minor discrepancies, not only were the prices higher but when we called an ordered an entree and confirmed we wanted the house salad (which is included per the menu) we were charged a higher price for the dish as well as an additional $5 for the salad. When we mentioned this to staff they said “yes we know, the owner hasn’t changed it” and that was it.
That said we did enjoy the pizza, the pasta dishes were average. Overall not worth it in our opinion.

We have gone to Palazzo's many times so when my boys came home from college they requested we go there. We go in and its not very busy. One party of 6 and 1-2 other tables occupied. We were 6 people and when asked to be seated the host told us I don't have any tables of 6 I cannot seat you. We suggested he put 2 tables of 4 together. There were many many empty tables. He said I can't do that. So we asked him are you telling us we cannot eat here and we should go somewhere else? He shrugged. We were shocked. I asked him if he was joking and he said no I cannot seat you. Not, it will be about 15 minutes, I am short staffed or anything just sorry, we don't want your business today. We walked out the door stunned. In the parking lot there was another family that had also just been turned away! We will not go back to this location EVER. We ended up going to the one on Briar Forest and had incredible service. Train your staff. Hire more staff, do something but don't tell people you cannot serve them!

A friend of mine suggested this place as it was his go to for Chicken Marsala. We sat down and were immediately greeted with fresh bread.
The Chicken Marsala came out and I was not disappointed one bit! It was absolutely fantastic. It was super flavorful and very comforting. After finishing the meal, they bread was a perfect medium to clean the plate!
The staff were very friendly and the place was not super packed on a weekday for lunch. I will definitely be back to give their other dishes a try.

Lately we’ve been ordering takeout pizza and it’s always the best. And the person taking the order each and every time is always very helpful. Even the Caesar salad is delicious.

While having a great visit with my friend, we were enjoying delicious food at Palazzo's. I relished my crisp, colorful salad with breadsticks, well flavored and tasty. My entree featured the best grilled salmon, surrounded with lemon butter sauce. A fresh spinach and asparagus combo, completed my plate. My friend, a vegetarian, enjoyed panini, grilled, filled with appetizing vegetables. A hearty salad accompanied it. A rich chocolate chip cookie finished our meal. Palazzo's is a neighborhood restaurant on Briar Ridge. The staff is friendly and really makes their food so good we know we will be back. Cookie
