Great first time dinner at il Palio and it was perfect! Beautiful restaurant, professional staff and delicious food! We had a salad, calamari and 2 pasta dishes. We were too stuffed to even look at the dessert menu! The bread was incredible too. Once I saw who the chef was I knew exactly why it was so good! I knew her restaurant and reputation in New Canaan! I’ll be back to il Palio for sure… can’t wait!!!

8pm on Valentines Day. Restaurant was fully booked. Seated at around 8:15. Everything there is top notch, as was the service on this very busy day. Nona’s Sunday Supper is a must have, pear salad, fried oysters as an app were to die for. Beef Wellington was superb. Accompanied by a great bottle of wine and finish with pistachio cream pie with a cappuccino. Many restaurants will be so busy at this time that service, meals, cuts of meat can feel lacking. Sal e Pepe hit the mark on all counts. As with any top notch restaurants, there is a premium in price, but this place is not to be missed.

Great experience. Attentive service. Food very good.

Awesome first time at Mercato in Shelton! Hallie C. was great and very hospitable to us for our Valentines lunch. Great ambiance with the right tone of music. Will definitely be returning soon.

everything we had was well prepared and presented. the wait staff was totally professional. we will be going back...... unfortunately the dish we went for wasn't available on the night we visited, but we look forward to trying it next time we're there.
