My wife and I tried Figlio's today for the first time. On the black chalk board as you walked in it read Sunday Sauce, salad, bread and oil, pasta with meatballs, sweet sausage, pork ribs and beef Bricole. Salad was fresh and crisp with a light balsamic vinegar and olive dressing. Bread was good and a side plate for oil, balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese. The pasta was covered with a delightfully light sauce that brought back memories of yesterday with a true Sunday meal. Meatballs were soft and flavor full, sauce was sweet and exploded with flavor as I chewed, pork ribs were nice, soft and the bricole was the star of the show. It broke apart removing it from the family style bowl. $30 each and it was amazing. Family owned and operated, nicely decorated, delightful little place. The waitresses were mother, daughter and had a great personality. We finished up with coffee and split a slice of carrot cake which was very good. Clean, comfortable and delicious. Highly recommend.

Great place. Too classy for this area. It seems like it should be in a big city like Boston or New York. Small, very cozy and romantic! read more

Not where I expected to go for lunch today, but ultimately I am good with my decision decision. I was killing some time and I needed to eat so I knew in the back of my head that this place was close to where I needed to be and potentially open. Locked in at the bar and it took me a minute to figure out what I wanted to eat but ultimately decided to go with penne meatballs and a cup of the Soup. Everything is homemade so when the soup came out and looked at me in the face I knew it was going to be absolutely delicious, and it was. Almost through pepper in it but didn't need it. Didn't even want crackers either. I spooned every last drop I could get of broth. The penne with meatballs came out hot! A very full bowl definitely pushed me to being full. Meatballs fell apart and or spot on with taste. For dessert I went with the pistachio cake, OMG! The only place I can compare this to that's equally delicious is tease bar and pizzeria in Stanford Connecticut. Every bite was flavorful. I enjoyed the place so much I decided to get a gift card for my grandparents for being awesome grandparents. A place for a date night. read more

This is a small, family run restaurant with great Italian meals. We have gone here twice: for Valentine's day/anniversary and my birthday. Wait staff are super friendly and accommodating. My husband substituted bolognese sauce for fra diavolo without a problem. The chef is great. Excited to see their son is opening a take out restaurant next door called Nonna's. Will definitely return!! read more

Great friendly service with extremely fresh food. Enjoyed going there with my family.

The staff was very friendly, and we really wanted to love this place, but most of the food was bland. The kicker was the procurement fee that turned out to be an extra charge for using a credit card (which it is illegal in MA to charge more for using a credit card). read more

What a great experience tonight at Figlio. Brought my wife and 87 year old father in law. My father in law Kenny was great friends with the owner Bobby's father Frankie Dog. Bobby made Kenny his favorite clams and linguini as he knew we were bringing him in. Kenny reminisced all night about his great times with Frankie and even had some funny stories about Bobby. All 5 courses of food were spectacular, but the joy that Kenny expressed was priceless. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness, great food and wonderful staff of Figlio. We will definitely bring him back again and recommend you give Figlio a try as well. Thanks guys!!! And a big shout out to the front man Bernie. read more

Food was good was hoping for hand made pasta, that wasn't the case but it was ok, Salad was plentiful, pricing was fair at $50 for 4 courses, was hoping for natural wine which I would pay extra but they on carried only traditional Italian American wines. Service was good and the Ambiance was traditional Italian read more

I visited this restaurant a few times, the food is excellent, the service is awesome and the ambience is very good as well quite quaint

Wonderful Italian dinner. The atmosphere felt like home with Nonny cooking in the kitchen. Their 5 course dinner is a dining experience with a real Matradee and excellent dinner service. Glad to have this fine dining in town. read more

Just left after being served a raw chicken rollatini. Sent it back and the server told the chef "Bobby" that we were arguing with her about it. Bobby then proceeds to come out if the kitchen cursing & swearing jumping right into my face. I have never been treated so badly in all my years. This was our first time and heard so many good things about this place. Needless to say this will be our last time. Bobby needs to learn how to treat patrons and accept his mistakes. read more

Excited to give Figlio's a try after seeing the positive reviews. Our meal included: watery pasta, canned peas, unpleasant presentation. Chicken Rollatini was filled with rubbery mozzarella and flavorless prosciutto. Presentation was awful and unappealing. Meatballs were small, tough, and had the taste of frozen. Whoever cooks here doesn't like food. Aside from the attentive and friendly service, one of the most unpleasant restaurant dining experiences I've ever had. read more

Services was exceptional, and the food is worth a return trip! Nice selection and price of menu items were decent.

Booked this while I was visiting my parents. Took them there Saturday before Mother's Day for a 5 course meal. Friday & Saturday are Prefix for dinner. Everything from the service getting greeted right away & our table ready to the atmosphere was amazing! Their decor is from the 1920's and it is cozy & feels like you're at a relatives dining room. Family owned. Also they did not try to rush us. they asked if we were ready for our next course before bringing it out. The sauce amazing- fresh and def homemade. Salad was amazing too. My favorite dessert was the pistachio cake. My mom loved the lemon cake and dad tiramisu. Will definitely be back! read more

Fillion is a Charming Family Italian restaurant Wirth trying. The vibe is Old World with classic old music playing. The toasted bread with parmesan is plentiful. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan which was Average. Thin chicken, but 2 breaded slices. The breading was OK. But, it's nice to have fresh parmesan at the table. The meatballs did not seem homemade, but I didn't ask. The seemed chewy instead of moist. The carrot cake was delicious, with a complimentary cordial. As they do not have their liquor license. The real gem of this place is the granddaughter Kaylee (sp?) She is a gracious young lady whom is proud of her family and heritage. She is a breath of fresh air. It's Summer, and I would have expected fresh tomatoes and basil in the sauce. But the food is still above average for the price, which are reasonable. I will return to try something else. So give this hometown restaurant a try! Nice to have in Palmer!​​ read more

From the food, staff to the atmosphere, everything is lovely. It's now our favorite local spot. It's a taste of Boston's North End in downtown Palmer. We even hosted an intimate gathering for my Mom's birthday here. We love it! Definitely check it out. read more

Great atmosphere! Good music. Good food. The service was also great! I would eat there again. Nice area.

Much like a North End Boston experience but in a small town. Decorated with family pictures and paintings with artifacts and furniture from a lifetime of owning restaurants you can easily imagine yourself in an Italian family celebration. We finally tried Figlio's last night. Better late than never. My bride and I had a wonderful time. Small, intimate and full of energy. The maitre d' made everyone feel special. If you are looking not just for great food but a great dining experience it's a must try. A great place for a date night. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional and we certainly didn't leave hungry. 5 course set pricing. It took us too long to try them but it won't be long before we go back. read more

My wife and I stopped for lunch at Figlio, a new Italian eatery here in Palmer. We came in at the tail end of the lunch service, so it was slow. This gave us time to talk to Bobby, the chef and owner. My wife ordered the rigatoni bolognese and I ordered the Beef Tips Marsala, which came with a side of rigatoni. The food was phenomenal, rustic and very authentic Italian quinine, something your Italian grandmother would serve. The bread Bobby served in the side was a perfect addition to sop up the delicious Marsala sauce and Bobby's homemade pasta sauce. Followed up dinner with a hot cup of coffee and an Italian pistachio cake. Yum! My wife picked a couple of nice treats from the small Italian goods gift section at the back of the restaurant. Bobby's hospitality and ensuring we were well fed and satisfied was a nice step up from the traditional restaurant experience in Palmer. Figlio offers a price fix 5-course dinner from 5p-9p. Looking forward to that. Currently Figlio is awaiting a license for beer and wine so beverages are limited to soft drinks, coffee, tea, and water. The restaurant has a small intimate cafe/bistro feel, with just a handful of tables. Very pleasant dining experience. We are looking forward to being regular patrons. read more

Reasonably priced, amazing food, excellent service all in a warm and attractive setting.

So good and everything is reasonably priced! The decor and setting reminds me of being in New York City! The chicken in my Cesar salad was amazing not dry at all. Soup was equally great and tasted healthy. Nothing was overly greasy or oily which is my pet peeve about some Italian places. Service was prompt and very friendly but not overbearing. read more

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would however I almost don't want to because I don't want others finding out about this special place. This place is like no other around, like sitting in someone's living room in Italy. The menu that we enjoyed was perfect for us, many of our favorites including an amazing sauce and bolognese. Desserts were abundant and all delicious. The pistachio cake was my fav. The service was warm, friendly and on point for what you would want for a special evening. Bernie was welcoming and made us feel at home. We were not rushed at all. The cordials at the end were the cherry on the cake. I can't wait to keep an eye on future menus for our next trip back. Great place for a family get together or just quiet dinner for two. read more

Figlio provides excellent food and service. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend this restaurant!
