   Love this restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly and efficient. Once you have been in a few times they remember you and call you by name. Great bar and wine list.

   Restaurant people interrupting dinner. One waiter (not our waiter) came to our table to make small conversation when we were trying to enjoy a quiet dinner. He “seemed” drunk. He will just kidnapped our dinner. I will not go back there to have dinner just pick up

   We have been to this place many times before. It looks like somethings have changed, maybe the Chef. The dishes are different, not a big problem, we enjoy different kinds of things. Unfortunately, the 4 of us were not impressed with the flavors, they needed more intensity.

   Palinuro is by far our favorite Italian restaurant in the Katy area. The service is fantastic, we always love to get Roberto to wait on us. He selects our wines and helps to select our meals and they’re always great. I got my favorite dish, which is the spaghetti frutti di mare, which is a wonderful spaghetti with a great variety of seafood. My wife got the chicken marsala. Wonderful dinners! We will definitely go back to Palinuros often as possible!

   We're so glad we discovered this excellent restaurant on far west side of Houston. They served the best Caesar salad we've ever had. The Penne al pesto and osso buco were also excellent. Service was impeccable. Palinuro is a lovely neighborhood gem.

   Our server, Jorge and his support-team, was terrific. Our table of four rated their meals as excellent to good. The drinks were good, but quite small. The wind was excellent. Unfortunately, it was beyond believe that the special (pasta dressed in the cheese shell and garnished with truffles) costed $70! It was good, but $70! I guess I should have asked.

    Went for Valentines Day and they had a limited menu with no appetizers, no small salads or soup offered with entrees. I had the Veal Ossobuco with polenta and it was just fine. Overall it was a simple average dinner for two but it was $150. We’ve had great meals here in the past. Their regular menu is very good, but we were a bit disappointed in the Valentines Day offerings.
