Il Palio Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Shelton - 5 Corporate Dr, USA

After hearing such great things about Il Palio, my fiancé and I visited for our Valentine’s Day dinner last year (a very delayed review but with Valentine’s coming up I was reminded to post this)! The restaurant is absolutely stunning and we were very excited for a special night out. They had a special menu for Valentine’s Day, and we thought the dishes were good, but we were expecting to have been more blown away. We thought our appetizer of the meat and cheese board was overpriced, considering we were only able to have two small pieces of cheese each. The strawberry tiramisu was a fun dessert for the holiday. The staff were very professional and attentive during our time there. We’re curious to come back and try the regular menu when it’s not a holiday.

We had my bridal shower here in their gorgeous private event space downstairs. The food and service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to take care of our guests and me personally as the Bride-To-Be. They really made you feel like family and took extra care and attention even making my Nanna laugh and smile. Special thanks to Jenn and the staff for helping us feel right at home. It was a dream bridal shower and I can't thank you all enough!!

Hands down a 5 star experience. We decided to check this place out for a 40th bday celebration for a party of 10. From service, Jose was excellent and knew the menu inside and out, all the way to each appetizer and main course. Everything was delicious, right temperature, and amazing taste. Drinks were also excellent. If We are ever back into town we will come for a visit.

This is a beautiful restaurant set up on a hill. It is decorated very seasonally and is very appealing. The food is delicious! When I explained that I have a severe onion allergy, they were very understanding and made sure I was safe. Some restaurants make a face when you tell them your restriction. But the staff here was very understanding and I felt they cared and wanted to make sure I had a great dining experience. I so appreciated their kindness! They have quite a nice bar with many drink choices. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! I cannot comment about the cost, as I didn’t pay for myself. I think it would be a wonderful place to take a date or for a married couple to go for a “date night”!

A very beautifully curated Italian restaurant with terrific ambience. It begins as you enter through the floor to ceiling glass doors and are immediately greeted by the hostess. The first thing you notice is the elaborate bar sitting in the center of the floor with glass marionettes hanging above. They have two dining areas on the main floor, balcony dining, and an overflow room on the second floor. A beautifully appointed white room on the lower level is perfect for private events. The service is first class. The wine list offers a variety of wines to satisfy everyone's taste and budget. The warm octopus salad was a terrific choice to start. The special eggplant flatbread was slightly disappointing but still had a nice flavor. The lobster pasta was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful array of flavors. Completing the dinner with a strawberry tiramisu was wonderful.

A very lovely little secret, I feel. Have not ever heard of this establishment. My husband's coworker referred and such a beautiful delight it was. We will definitely visit again! And Jennifer was very knowledgeable, courteous and genuinely friendly. She made the experience a night that will not be forgotten.

A huge shout out to II Palio for an an exceptional rehearsal dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. The bar staff were so professional and attentive, all night long! But a special shout out for LIZ who put it all together. We started working with Liz a whole year in advance and from the get-go she made us feel like all was in order, and it was!! She was attentive to detail, provided great advice, kept us in check and made it all happen! Liz was great to work with; it's professionals like Liz that make a beautiful place seem all the more magical!! SO grateful!
