Palazzo
I’m not sure how to even begin with regarding Palazzo except….OMG this place is AMAZING, particularly only having been open since June 1 of this year! I happened across an article (attached) on Cleveland.com talking about how the owner had driven by this old, very sad looking building, in a not so great area and couldn’t understand why it had been just sitting empty for 20+ years. He wanted that building and fast forward a few years; it’s now his and what an outstanding job he’s done remodeling it! The real magic, however, is the FOOD!!! Seriously, there was not one thing that we didn’t just love. Palazzo has an Old World atmosphere, yet felt very casual and comfortable. Our server, Giuseppe, was great as well. Extremely personable and knowledgeable about everything on the menu.
There were so many things that we wanted to try, but sadly the bread was so good, I was afraid I’d fill up on it and not have room for anything else. We both started with salads – I had the Caprese and Mr. Z had the Caesar. Both were excellent. Between the salads and the wonderful bread, we could have stopped right there, but……there was no way we were skipping the entrees! We decided to share, so we ordered the Pollo al Marsala and the Tortellini di Vitello Ripieni. Both of which were absolutely delicious! So good in fact, that we finished every bite even after the abundance of bread and salads. Sadly though, we had no room for one of their awesome-sounding desserts. Next time – and there will definitely be a next time! We wish them MUCH SUCCESS!!!
