“Very good food but very brightly lit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Arrived on a Fri nite without a reservation but there was plenty of room to accommodate. The place is huge! Courteous staff but bartender seemed annoyed that the wine selection hadn't ever been updated for mos and people continued to ask for certain things they never had. Zin and California Chardonnay to be specific.
Had mushroom ravioli and a veal marsala type entree, and split a great salad.
They had large group parties there, couples, small groups and families there so obviously able to accommodate variety.
Weird that it was so brightly lit.

“awesome brunch menu”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

Been a few times for dinner and it was good, but what really stood out for me here was the brunch. Rosemary potatoes, fennel sausage, that I believe is made on site, European style cheese plate for dessert with some unique and flavorful choices, and bottomless bellini's or bloody mary's. Yummm..i need to go back soon!

“Great Italian food, nice decor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

4 people for dinner. We had soup, salads, 4 different entrees and desert and all were wonderful. The lamb pasta "Cavatelli alla Pugliese" and the lobster stuffed ravioli special were especially scrumptious. The wine list has extensive italian choices. A few more pasta dish options would be a plus.

“Rehearsal dinner experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 21, 2012

We recently had Palio host a rehearsal dinner for 40 guests. Many of the guests complimented the food and service as well as the facility. But beyond the reaction of the guests we had, I can tell you that Palio was wonderful to work with from our initial decision to hire them. Instead of feeling like I was being nickeled and dimed to death, the pricing was clear, they worked with us on the price, they did an excellent job on all counts, the entire dinner went very smoothly, and I came away from the event feeling like I would give them return business without hesitation.

Additionally when I was presented with the bill the server told me that their policy was not to add a gratuity automatically but to allow me to determine the entire amount. I was impressed by this attitude along with everything else.

We had considered Palio for the dinner after having an excellent meal there and being overwhelmed/disappointed with many other restaurants we had checked on in the area. We were not disappointed. I don't believe you will be either.

Our compliments to the staff, management, and Executive Chef Antonio at Palio.

“Outstanding Italian...Our Leesburg Romantic Favorite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

Very romantic setting and the food never disappoints. I've enjoyed every dish, and the wines are superb. Professional and friendly staff. Ensure you have a reservation for Friday or Saturday nights. Enjoy!
