Palio Caffe - San Andreas

The meal was from a Christmas day menu. I usually avoid risotto as not many chefs seem to know how to prepare it properly. The risotto misto mare rice $45 was much too al dente. The eggplant soup was outstanding, something I had not seen on a menu before. The tiramisu was fine. Lighting was much too dark, but was brighter at the end of the meal. The dining room has the highest ceilings I have ever seen. The room needs some better lighting to make it more friendly. The waiter tried to convince me that he knew what he was talking about when explaining the dessert wines, but I knew better. Nice try! :

Food was great. Service should have been more attentive. We ordered a very nice bottle of wine and would have appreciated someone pouring it for us. I think they were short staffed due to it being a holiday.

We had a great experience at Palio for our wedding a few weekends back! Valeria and her staff were incredible from start to finish. We were able to set up flowers and decor the evening before and day of the wedding. The staff was so friendly and the service was impeccable during our event, the food was GREAT, and even better the cocktails. Thank you Palio for a wedding to remember! We will be back! -Jacque Ian

No traditional spaghetti there and for the price I paid the portion size and the bread sticks should have been bigger!
