Ever since we discovered Il Palio a few years ago, we have used it regularly as an ideal meeting place for lunch between Stamford and Litchfield, given its convenient location just off Route 8 in Shelton, and its remarkable prix-fixe lunch. You won't find a better lunch deal in the entire state, not just in terms of price, but given the excellent quality of the food, as well as the included third course -- a scoop of refreshing gelato or sorbetto to finish the meal. Each time we dine there, we are impressed with how consistently good the experience is. The restaurant is attractive and spacious, with a great room downstairs for private parties and a new patio for outdoor dining. If you are looking for fine Italian cuisine in a comfortable and sophisticated setting, this is the place. More
