   We were staying in the hotel for our anniversary and decided to eat at Il Palio. We were impressed from the start - the warm welcome, the offer of anniversary drinks, the very attentive staff. We decided to order the Chef’s Tasting Menu since it was a special occasion and everything on the menu was unique - we were so amazed with the exceptional taste, variety, and presentation. We enjoyed dishes we probably would not have ordered as we tend to stick to what is familiar. The chef stopped by to speak to us several times and it was so interesting to hear him speak passionately about his work. I am so glad we decided to do the Chef’s Tasting - it was a uniquely delicious experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for the food, the service, and the unique experience - by the time we left, we felt like family. Amaya, Spencer, Andrew, and Bob as well as others made this a truly great anniversary dinner!

   The ambiance and service was really good! I thought most of the prices were on the high side. I think $38 for an order of risotto with peas, and some cheese was expensive. Some of the mixed drinks were a bit on the high side also. I know prices have increased, but these are five star prices in a four star restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I would go back in the future, but not on a regular basis.

   Some of the best food I’ve had in a while. My daughter has the lemon pepper risotto, I had a simple but simply amazing pasta dish with arugula, garlic and a hint of spice, and my husband had the vongole con linguine. All were excellent. It’s not cheap - a special occasion, for sure. But the food and service do not disappoint.

   A bit of sticker shock this time-you get what you pay for? Massimo, Lily, and Andrew were a superb server team.

   Il Palio was a great dining experience! We did the chef's tasting menu, which they were able to put together on very short notice, adjusting for our various dietary needs (pregnancy, vegetarian, pescatarian, and no red meats). The food was absolutely delicious! We especially loved their house made pasta dishes and their house made lemon sorbetto--highlights of the meal. The only feedback would be to be prepared for hearty portion sizes! Service team was kind and attentive. We will be returning for another visit soon!

   Service was poor. Server was disinterested when we only ordered one alcoholic drink. Very inattentive when we ordered meals. Expected more from a high end restaurant. Food was fine - nothing special.

    Massimo was once again a magnificent server accompanied by his superb supporting cast. Food was magnificent also; of particular note as dishes we hadn’t tries before were the tomato salad and the lobster pasta.

    Easily best Italian in the area. Food was authentic with a but of inventiveness and well presented; hostess and waitstaff were friendly, efficient and helpful regarding my gluten sensitivity—I had pasta without trouble. Wish they wouldn’t let in “grown man in flip-flops” but I guess no one really enforces dress codes nowadays.

    Really great Italian fine dining in a Marriott Bonvoy “Autograph” property was a nice surprise. Excellent food, albeit pricey. Only complaint is that the wood floors reflected noise and created a cacophonous environment.

    We were visiting in this lovely hotel, where this restaurant is located for my daughter to do a college tour. All of the food that we experienced here from dinner to breakfast was amazing and the service was top-notch. Not something you would expect necessarily in a restaurant, that’s located inside of a hotel.
