    The main thing you'll notice is that the portion sizes are European style. It's $30+ for most dishes and you're not going to leave full. I get that American portions are crazy large. I finished my meal in just a few minutes, because there weren't that many bites of it. The table next to me had two gentlemen on a date, and I saw them finish off a round of 3 entrees and order a 4th after... that was after they had apps. The inside is nice though. It's got a quaint, Italian feel. It's dimly lit so photos are tough. Service was good and friendly. The taste of the dishes was good, but not great. When your portions are tiny, you better be bringing major flavor. They did not. Overall, this is an expensive place for small portions. On the plus side, I had room to grab frozen yogurt after my dinner.

    Came in on a weekend without a reservation. We were fortunately able to have a table on the curbside. It was chilly that day and the table has 3 sides covered so it was bearable. They also have backyard seatings. For appetizers we ordered Focaccia with olive oil. The bread did not taste what I have expected to be and the olive oil has a weird smell/ taste to it. For entree, we ordered Pappardelle alla Bolognese, Ravioli Cacio e Pepe, and Fettuccine ai Funghi e Tartufo. The pasta dishes come in warm which is great because we were all so cold, they also tastes good! On the menu, it says the Fettuccine ai Funghi e Tartufo is vegetarian but after the dish is served, a staff came in with a block of cheese and shaved it on top of the pasta, not sure if the cheese is also vegetarian. So make sure to ask before they shave cheese on your dish if you are a vegetarian. The Ravioli Cacio e Pepe came in five or six pieces so if you are a big eater or something else. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu. The tiramisu was very moist than we expected and it has more rum flavored than a coffee flavor.

    Great service by Guillaume. The space is amazingly decorated, really takes you away from the hustle and hustle of New York. Food was yummy. Pictures speak for themselves.

    Such a beautifully decorated and charming restaurant serving some of the best Italian cuisine I have ever had! Their homemade pastas were incredibly executed, and the flavors were out of this world. The Focaccia and olive oil came out warm and perfectly toasted. The risotto was truly life changing and an absolute must try. Highly recommend dining in the covered outdoor patio as the atmosphere was wonderful. Palma has easily become one of my favorites of all time! Would come back again and again as this place is a destination in itself.

    Palma is small and cozy and a great place for a romantic date night or to celebrate something special. I went with a friend on a Friday night, and even though the place was fully booked, we still had excellent service. We ordered the cacio e pepe ravioli and the lamb chops to share. The lamb came with two sides of your choice so we opted for the seasonal roasted vegetables and the mashed potatoes. The pasta was amazing - you would not be able to tell it was gluten free at all! The lamb was also cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that the portion sizes are small. I wasn't surprised by the ravioli or lamb portions, but I wrongly assumed the sides would be larger and served family style. Overall, we left feeling satiated but not full, which is probably for the best, ha!

    This restaurant was fantastic! Beautiful ambiance inside and out. Service was great. I really appreciated my servers help and all the people that made it a good dinning experience. Food took a little long to come out but it was well worth the wait. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Seems that a lot of the ingredients are imported from Italy. Loved it and highly recommend.

    This place is SO cute and vibey inside. Think warm lights and flowers and green and vases... there's a small front room and then we were taken back through two other larger rooms to end up at a small space with just one other table; such a nice secluded spot! We did have to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, but I know you can't control how fast customers leave. We were starving and ordered pretty much right away and the food came out fast! The truffle mushroom fettuccini was to die for. Can't believe they only make this gluten free, not that you could tell in any way. Umami and rich and melt in your mouth. We ordered the lobster with gluten free fettuccini and it came with a huge amount of lobster. This wasn't my favorite but there was natural tomato sauce and it was still very fresh. The star of the evening was the cacio e Pepe ravioli. I've never had the option to order gluten free ravioli at a restaurant before and so I was already happy. But dang, this was so cheesy and the pepper had a nice kick and this was just flavor explosion. The ravioli was dense in a good way but also buttery soft. The portions aren't huge by any means. But it's good food and good ambiance. Fast service and nice servers!!

    Had the Fettuccine ai Funghi and it was amazing. Rich and full of flavor. The fresh pasta and cozy atmosphere made it such a nice dining experience. Great staff with excellent service. Perfect spot for a relaxed Italian meal in the city

    I usually eat here for Thanksgiving, but finally had the chance to try their main menu. The food was tasty and the tiramisu was perfect. The pappardelle alla bolognese wasn't quite what I was expecting, based on photos from other reviewers.

    The vibes at Palma are unmatched, get ready to get whisked away to a quant little town in Italy! This restaurant came up as having great gluten-free options when I was doing some research for a dinner with some friends. It's rare to find a restaurant that is good at gluten-free pasta but according to my GF friend, the Cacio e Pepe ravioli was amazing. The quality of the ingredients is so clear as you are eating the food and after. I went with the Paccheri all'Astice: the pasta was perfectly al dente and there was a generous amount of lobster which was also cooked to perfection. The sauce is simple yet flavorful and it's everything you could ever want in a seafood pasta. Our server Guillaume was so kind and attentive and we were really treated so well throughout the whole evening. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to all pasta lovers and especially to those with GF diets!

    Lovely restaurant. So cozy and romantic. The service was very friendly. Menu is small but a lot of nice options.

    Palma has been on my list for a while and I'm glad I was able to secure a reservation! We were seated in the indoor garden area, which was bright and beautiful. We started off with the focaccia bread that came with oil on the side. I ordered the pesto stuffed gnocchi and my husband ordered the truffle mushroom fettuccine. Both were amazing and the pasta was very fresh but the star of the show was the fettuccine! The gnocchi was also delicious but at times the pesto felt overwhelming as it was only inside the gnocchi. Overall this was a great date night spot and I would go again!

    The back room is called a Kitchen and would not fit 18. Upstairs fits about 16, it's called the Library and it's set up beautifully. That room may fit up-to 20 people.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

The Amazake Kick was balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a fantastic starter. For food, we ordered the scotch egg, sliders, and fish and chips. The scotch egg was solid, though the sausage layer felt slightly dry this time around. The sliders were great, while the fish and chips were decent--nicely crispy, but the fish needed a bit more flavor seasoning. We tried several other drinks throughout the night, and my top three recommendations would be the Amazake Kick, Hotmail, and Lock & Key. If you're searching for a cozy spot with great drinks and light bites, this place is definitely worth adding to your list!

Typical yuzu but ive had better ones - personally feel like the yuzu can be brighter and a bit sweeter rating: 4/5 - the drinks were all good but nothing particularly stood out except for the hojicha colada - the vibe and the music really brought up my rating though! It was such a cute, cozy, intimate spot for dates - small speakeasy with only a few seats, similar to bars in japan; it's one of those japanese listening bars and i love it - there was light jazz in the background, not too loud that i had to shout - the mood was perfect; I couldn't stop staring at the interior decor and immerse myself in this little cozy corner - service was super quick, nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!
