ONLINE ORDERING AVAILABLE - ilpalioct.comIl Palio was named after the race held each summer in Siena, Italy. Created with a passion, the restaurant has been exquisitely designed and beautifully finished with materials from all over the world. No stone was left unturned and time was not a factor in finding exactly what was required to make the "vision" a reality. The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant. Il Palio's fine Tuscan cuisine is a pleasing combination of the highest-quality ingredients and the caring preparation by chefs who take pride in the dishes they present. Like the race in Siena, Il Palio is creating lasting impressions.

Rustic Southern Italian kitchen with strong influence from Tuscany. All professional staff with over 30 years experience."It is most certainly a gourmet establishment with a menu from top to bottom that is exquisitely creative with tastes and flavors and choices that make selections so joyously difficult--and with a wine list to match food and pocketbook. Consider this the now best Italian restaurant in the state. Three cheers for Biagio the chef.""Concealed jewel, but easily accessible off the parkway. Esteemed staff that goes about taking care of your every need, especially the maitre d'. Exceptional menu with meals that make you crave for more. The homemade pasta dishes are unequaled to any place in the state. This is an elite restaurant that I will entertain my family and my business clients at. Head chef will go above and beyond his means for satisfaction of customer."

    Can’t say enough about how good this restaurant is. From the minute we walked in the service was spot-on. It never stoped being perfectly attentive. Specialty drinks were creative and very good. We had the Pear Martini and Pear Mule. And then the food. We had the Braised Short Ribs and Pork Chop. Both over polenta and both excellent. We live in a neighboring state and can’t wait to come back. Next time we’re in Shelton we’ll be eating here!

    The greeting, service and food was exceptional. The actual tables could be updated; they were chipped and picnic-style. The music was nice but a little loud. It was difficult hearing my daughter. The portions were beautifully displayed but a little small. They were fine for the 3 woman. If my husband was there...he could have eaten both our dishes.. Overall, in my opinion....the food was wonderful but just a few little things would have made it an A+.
