   Russell and Jack did a wonderful job with food and wine recommendations. Eggplant app and the chefs espresso panna cotta with caramel dessert were our favs. The dining room was a beautiful cozy place. Look forward to returning.

   We ate early, pre-symphony. The place was empty. It filled up quickly. The service was personable, professional, and competent not stuffy. The food was excellent. We skipped drinks but the bartender seemed experienced and the wine list was very good.

    Our waiter Jack was great. Attentive and not intrusive. The guys ordered their version of Cacio e pepe was delicious. My dish was salmon over a tomato risotto. The salmon was very good but the risotto could have cooked a little longer. It’s a beautiful restaurant! Don’t miss it!

    We enjoyed our evening with friends at Il Palato; our server, Justin, was engaging but not intrusive and the service overall was outstanding. The ladies at the table share a birthday, which was mentioned when reserving, but I guess that no longer gets any recognition most places. The quality of the meal was high, but please note the portions are very, very small!

    The squash appetizer made the best dish of this vegetable I have ever had. They always have a unique and delicious vegetable dish. They let our party of six sit on the patio which was lovely on a beautiful night. Always superb service.

    Outstanding service - Our servers were exceptional. They were personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Our pasta dishes were excellent and the space is beautiful. Unfortunately, the exhaust for the open kitchen is either insufficient or was not working. The dining room smelled like smoke and cooking odors. Our clothes smelled after we left. I hope this is corrected.

    The entire service industry is suffering from turn over and trying to train as fast as possible. This was evident in our experience tonight. The wait staff was unfamiliar with quite a bit. Food was good. Salmon was delivered skin side up which we don’t see on the West Coast. Mature crowd.

    Normally very solid and unique pastas. We especially like their weekend selections and specials over the last few years. We went this Friday and were rather disappointed. Service was great, but pastas far from that. In particular, the bolognese was tasteless and felt more like a Boy Scout dinner. I hope this gets better so we can continue to be regulars.

    Best eggplant parmesan dish in ton. Excellent feature dishes that change routinely. An absolute hidden gem in Clayton and one that everyone should add to their routine restaurant visit list. A very approachable but in depth wine list that offers high end, mid end and values on every level. Service is always outstanding and the patio is completely underrated, especially in the fall. GO TO THIS RESTRAURANT!

    Creative menu with Italian emphasis; fresh ingredients noticeable in all courses. Flash fried cauliflower retained firm body with lightly sweet zesty sauce which did not overwhelm. Heirloom tomatoes with arugula, burrata, melon slices and prosciutto was refreshing and flavorful. Entrees included monkfish, tagliatelle with more heirlooms, and pistachio artichoke ravioli were enjoyed by each guest. Expansive wine list with broad range to appeal to palate and pocketbook. Full pour (to mid point of glass) and good temperatures for white and red wines by the glass. An Italian twist on flan was a nice finish. Refreshing interior, well informed staff (though some bussing was a little clunky with younger workers). Surprisingly not busy enough for two full table turnings on a Saturday night. Word needs to get out that this establishment from the Del Pietro family warrants regular inclusion in dine out rotation. Bravo!

    My flounder was way overcooked so that it could not be cut with a fork (not easy with a knife) and the fish was bone dry. The waiter asked how things were and I said, "this is tough and dry." Apparently his question was like "how are you?", because he just walked away. Not really listening to my answer. We asked for bread twice and never got it. On the plus side the cauliflower appetizer was tasty and original. Two got the sausage pizza and liked it. I don't go to a nice restaurant for pizza.

The special of the evening, a pasta dish with shrimp, bacon and roasted peaches was superb! Well done
