Palo
Savor classic Northern Italian cooking with a modern twist at this chic adult-exclusive restaurant—it’s a feast for the senses!
Exquisite Italian Cuisine
Named after the signature long poles used by gondoliers in Venice, Palo serves an adult-exclusive restaurant serving Italian fare in an intimate setting.
Fine Italian cookery begins with artfully prepared antipasti, soft potato gnocchi piennolo in tomato sauce with kale or fritto di calamari e gamba marinara—or sip on a steaming stew of seafood favorites scented with basil and garlic. Continue with a plate of classic pasta, such as penne arrabbiata.
For your main course, be transported to the heart of Italy as you pamper your palate with freshly prepared specialties that include butternut agnolotti, seared sea scallops on celery root puree—or entice your taste buds with a house favorite: piquant dover sole (fileted tableside), garnished with nut brown butter garnished with chopped capers.
At Palo, incomparable Italian dining and impeccable service—sure to exceed your expectations—are always on the menu.
True to form, there’s an abundance of fine European wines and Italian-American-inspired cocktails like the Bellini and the Italian surfer—and cappuccino, espresso, lattes and café mochas.
For a sweet ending, discover a culinary confection of freshly made desserts including homemade tiramisù, panna cotta or our house favorite: chocolate soufflé with vanilla bean and chocolate sauce.
