    I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the Palazzo! We arrived in town late and made a last minute reservation based on a recommendation from my foodie dad. They did not rush us even as were a late reservation. The food was fantastic. The service equally as good. Homemade upscale Italian at its finest at a reasonable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    One of the fine dining experiences in Cleveland. The Marriott hotel is very nice, but I stay at the Marriott when I come to Cleveland because of this restaurant.

    Best Italian restaurant in town, hands-down! The quality of food for the price you pay is absolutely unparalleled. I highly recommend the apple and goat cheese salad. One of the specials tonight was chicken cacciatore which was out of this world! I enjoyed linguine with Bolognese sauce. You need to try their sauces, absolutely delicious! Delaney, our server and Raphael made our night special. If you’re looking for fine Italian cuisine, don’t miss this spot also phenomenal craft cocktails and the wine menu is tremendous.
