Palmento a Dopo - Table reservation

It's an Italian restaurant, for better and for worse. The food was good overall, wait staff were friendly and accommodating, and the decòr and abmbience were quite warming. The food service itself is interesting in that individual portions are fairly small you're really supposed to get a sampler/multicourse meal and share it family style. The menu was almost entirely Italian and not everything translates correctly, such as the diplomático dessert (a sponge cake if I recall correctly).

delicious, tasteful, stylish and friendly. we arrived 45 minutes before the closeness and were still treated with a wonderful culinary experience. their broth and oil were fresh and tasty. the lasagne was complex and full of taste, and the pizza was authentic Italian, per my Italian fiance. the cannoli was the best I ever had, and went very well with a cappuccino from the bar. bravo!

Everything was well-prepared and delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite, but the lasagna, sausage, and pizza were highlights. The desserts were also very good. And the prices were reasonable. I recommend this restaurant, but make sure to make a reservation as it gets busy.
