Il Palio

I don’t like this restaurant anymore. It is so convenient for the station so a good place to go if you are driving. We would use it more if they didn’t go in for the two sitting system, which makes you feel that you are being rushed. Last time we were in a party and they were unable to cope with our order, so we couldn’t eat all together. The pasta dishes and the pizzas were delivered to the table at different times which was not very professional. The food is good and the venue very buzzy and friendly but I think it needs a shake up.

I like this restaurant. We always make a point of going here when we’ve got friends to stay as most people like Italian food, and you can’t go far wrong with such an extensive menu that’s well executed with good service.
It’s not cheap, but I don’t come away feeling I’ve been diddled — the food is good quality and the portion sizes are excellent (both myself and my husband have pretty good appetites and we usually come out feeling pretty full!!!).
The staff are helpful, professional and friendly, and are happy to make changes to the menu to accommodate personal tastes and allergies.
In particular I would recommend the mussels in a white wine sauce — this is on the starters menu, but the portion size is enormous so I quite often have this as a main course with a side salad. Yum yum!!!
