    Garlic Bread
    Robert G.

    Wasn't bad. Had buy one get one for the ravioli. I paid extra for the vodka sauce. One had just the right amount of sauce. The other one was pretty dry. Got garlic bread.which was awesome. Wish could have gotten mozzarella cheese that would have nailed it.

    Bishop, Duce, Jennifer & Cam we so appreciate your warm welcome today! We came for the food & left with prayers & new friends! The food was absolutely amazing! I'm extremely picky with flavors & tastes but everything from the bread while we waited, the grilled octopus, the penne pasta with pink sauce & shrimp & the linguine with bolognese sauce & chicken...was A+ across the board & so filling! Cant wait for the new bar and to try new options on our next visit! Run here! It's sooooo worth it!

    Garlic bread $7 should have been more of a portion.

    1st time ordering from here. Got the chicken parm buy one get one did ask for extra cheese and to charge us, this was an uber eats order. No extra cheese not alot of cheese at all and the garlic bread for $7 it was pretty skimpy. Pasta could have been cooked a few mins longer. I'll order again but not sure how I feel this wasn't the best 1st impression.

    This restaurant in Montclair is great for either a big party or even a small party. We booked a buffet style type of dinner for about 23 people and it was amazing. Everyone enjoyed it to the fullest. Yes you heard that right we had a total of 23 people. We made sure to call to book the space and they had us in 2 big tables. We picked the menu before hand which was buffet style and the appetizers were family style. The food was absolutely delicious. For appetizers we had a couple of things 1. Eggplant 2. Bruschetta 3. Calamari and 4. A salad. Then as an entree we had a delicious lemon chicken, salmon, sausage and pasta. Lastly, we had dessert. This restaurant is BYOB so best believe we brought plenty of wine to enjoy with our meal. Our reservation was on a Wednesday at 7:30 and we didn't leave until about 10:30pm. I loved how they didn't rushed us or anything. To book such a big party like this we had to put down a $200 deposit which went towards our bill. At the end we ended up paying less than $40 each. The staff was also very lovely and friendly. I can see us coming back here again if we ever do something again with such a big party.

    Cheers to 10 years and a wonderful dinner at Palazzo's

    Came here for our 10 year anniversary first time in this place since they moved, the atmosphere was great, the food was absolutely positively delicious! And the waitress was wonderful! I definitely recommend this place to all, we will definitely be back.

    I live in walking distance to palazzo and was hoping to find my next usual spot but unfortunately the food was just okay. I did enjoy my shrimp risotto but the service lacked warmth. My family and I came in for dinner on a random weekday and although the restaurant was empty, we were asked if we made a reservation. The server seems annoyed while seating us or maybe he was just serious. I don't know but I'm willing to give it one more shot. Also a little pricy for the portions in my opinion.

    Lobster & Shrimp Bisque
    Steve R.

    One of our favorite spots to eat, never disappoints. Service is always excellent, love the cozy atmosphere including live piano music and most importantly, the food is great. Recent visit, we started with a lobster and shrimp bisque, delicious and loaded with lobster and shrimp. My wife had one of the specials, a Seafood Grill which was also delicious. I had the NY Strip Steak special which was amazing, cooked perfectly, melted in your mouth and had a great grilled flavor. This place is simply a great Italian restaurant.

Moments later, we were in the capable and charismatic hands of Maya, our server. She brought not just efficiency, but real joy to the table: quick wit, a warm and friendly vibe, and an infectious passion for the food that made every recommendation feel personal and sincere. Hospitality like hers elevates a meal from good to memorable. We began with the Caesar salad, and it was exactly what a Caesar should be: crisp, balanced, and perfectly executed, with that ideal punch of garlic, anchovy, and Parmesan. No missteps here this was textbook excellence. Next came the meatballs, and they were glorious enormous, tender orbs that instantly transported me back to Sunday dinners at my grandmother's table. Generous in size and soulful in flavor, they were everything you want in a classic Italian meatball. The accompanying tomato sauce was nothing short of velvety luxury: smooth, rich, deeply savory, and so delicious I found myself sneaking extra spoonfuls just to savor it. On a whim, I requested a side of the short rib ragu, and it proved to be one of the standout moments of the night. Braised to fall apart tenderness in what I can only describe as an osso buco style preparation, it mirrored the kind of slow cooked, soul warming short ribs I make at home only better. The depth of flavor was top notch, luxurious without being heavy. For the main event, I went with the chicken Parmesan, and let me tell you; it was the bomb-diggity of chicken parms. Massive in portion (honestly, almost comically large), it arrived golden and crisp on the outside, juicy within, blanketed in that same magnificent tomato sauce and a generous snowfall of melted cheese. Every bite was pure comfort and satisfaction. Congratulations to the kitchen this is how chicken Parm should be done. A lovely surprise came when the chef himself stopped by the table to say hello. That personal touch, combined with the restaurant's charming ambiance lush hanging vines draping overhead like a cozy Italian garden created a wonderfully inviting and relaxed vibe that made the whole experience feel special. I left with generous leftovers, already plotting to pair the short rib ragu with fresh pappardelle pasta at home. From the warm welcome to the passionate service and soul satisfying plates, this was a thoroughly wonderful evening. If you're craving authentic Italian American comfort food served with heart, this place delivers in spades. Highly recommended.

This is very good and on the sweet side. Next came the Caesar Salad. What was different about it is there was a hint of basil and instead of croutons they did a dusting of fresh bread crumbs which was unique. Our meals were the rigatoni and a meatball. And WOW what a beautiful sized meatball. It was a bit too salty but my daughter liked it and that's all we care about. I had the linguini and clams which was good. The clams needed some better cleaning since I had a few with some sand in them. Stand out dish was the Fettuccine with shrimp. Had a nice pesto sauce mixed in with the Alfredo sauce and it really made the dish pop. Shrimp were good and cooked to perfection.

    Went here for a birthday dinner and the ambiance was very nice and festive…read more For appetizers, we got the goat cheese with nuts and prosciutto, the burrata, and the calamari. The calamari was by far the best. It was crispy and thick and seasoned well and the sauces were delicious. There were some fried onions in it that were flavorful too. The goat cheese was okay, it felt like the flavors did not all go together. The burrata was very fresh and the starter bread is great too. For dinner we got the pork shank which I think was a special, the mushroom ravioli, the eggplant pasta with red sauce and the branzino special with veggies and a sauce. The mushroom ravioli tasted a little like mush to me and I was not a fan of the mushroom flavor. The eggplant pasta was delicious and it came with burrata that melted nicely into the pasta. The pork shank was tender and delicious. The branzino was the star for sure, it was flavorful and delicate and paired well with the sauce and the veggies. For dessert we got the pistachio tartufo and the tiramisu. I didn't think the tiramisu was very special but it wasn't bad. The tartufo was okay. It tasted like a pistachio chocolate ball inside of pistachio ice cream. It was also incredibly small for the price. Our waiter was fantastic!!! Great person who made our experience extremely special. I don't know if I would come back, maybe for the calamari and a drink. Some of the food is amazing and some is not that great.
