Excellent small Privately-owned Italian restaurant with quality food and menu selection. House made pastas are amazing! Relaxing, casual atmosphere that is also a good choice for special occasions.

Great food and service - A bit expensive, but the quality was there. A little loud because of the hard ceiling, but overall a great experience.

The service was great, the food was great, the company was even better. There was a larger group of 8 which was super loud and made it difficult to hear. But once they left, it was pleasant.

A nice little neighborhood Italian restaurant, family owned. Very nice staff, very good food. Good Italian food, especially if you want to stay on the Sugar Land / Katy side of town.

Palinuro has a charm of a family restaurant, despite being located in a strip center. Their menu iis short, but the recipes are authentic and well executed. The wines offered are varied, though a pretty short list. Only issue is the noise/echo in the high ceiling environment.

It’s not bad. Not perfect. The fish was excellent. Seafood pasta was excellent. Lasagna just ok imho. It’s a great spot was just super slow but I understand it was a holiday. My issue is for the price the menu is extremely small and the other niche Italian restaurant in katy which I won’t mention is significantly better quality again imho. This is a cool spot though and I would definitely return maybe try something else. The owners and staff are nice people I wish them the best.
