    Loved the quiet atmosphere and the staff was friendly coming in. Laid back with selecting your own table and BYOB to make it feel more homey. I will say that tables were left dirty with previous party's dishes for the entire time we were there. If it wasn't busy or people weren't waiting for tables, then they stayed dirty. This didn't bother us as much because it was a quiet Saturday night - but if you're big on not seeing plates on other tables, then it may not leave you with a good impression from the start. Food came out quick, hot and delicious! We got the Ralphie and the Maria's BBQ and both were fantastic. This style pizza is more topping forward and less crust.

    Where's the chicken?

    I love Palio's pizza, but I ordered a chicken club for a change and was sorely disappointed. There was barely any chicken on the sandwich. I expected more from Palio's

    We ate here for the first time in years. The owner here is such a kind person! When I asked if they had hot tea, he said that they did not serve it but would make me some he had if I wanted it. So nice!! They also have great tasting gluten free and vegan/vegetarian options. Unique toppings are available, like this cashew, basil, jalapeño and Roma tomato pizza, which was delicious! The owner also informed me that this location will soon be adding non-dairy cheese as well as gluten free spaghetti to their menu! Great service from kind people.

    So over cooked even a knife wouldn't cut it

    Last time here! Not sure what happened to the great, friendly staff and wonderful pizza. Pizza is over cooked and the food server dropped the marinara sauce on the ground then tried to serve it to us. When I told her no, she got visibly mad. Way to many places to eat out there to come to Palio's on Stacy Road As we were leaving, they stopped our car in the parking lot to give us a free pizza replacement. We did not accept... it was that bad of an experience!

The house Manhatten was delicious with subtle adjustments to the traditional recipe. The Arancina Tradizionale is a fried ball of tasty saffron rice, stuffed with Bolognese and peas. Its a great appetizer with lots of subtle flavors. As an entree I had the Cacio E Pepe, the famous pasta prepared in a wheel of pecorino cheese and covered in fresh ground black pepper. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the cheese was creamy and mild, and the pepper nicely balanced the richness with a mild spice. I ordered shrimp on the side and it was well seasoned and nicely charred. My wife had the geilled salmon and loved it. We didn't really have room for dessert, but since everything else was so good, we couldn't resist trying the Tiramisu and Strawberry panna cotta. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Be prepared for European style service and you will leave satisfied.

The menu I think had a good variety of entrees to choose from, and we both ended really liking the dishes we ordered. I ordered the pasta bolognese, and it was great. The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.

Its definitely not a place I would bring a huge group to, however its perfect for a date night or a group up to 6. They start you with complimentary house baked sourdough with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dipping. It was delicious! We had the mussles in their red sauce as an appetizer. I don't like mussels...or so I thought! They red sauce was really good with lots of herbs, and the mussels didnt have a fishy scent or taste. Our waitress Brooklyn was so sweet! She recommended the chicken marsala to me and I am glad she did! It was sooo good and I have never had a marsala sauce quite like that. My husband had a seafood fettuccine and thought it was great!

The carbonara wasn't an authentic pasta dish, but it was still tasty. The chicken picatta wasn't what I was expecting and the sauce was too thick and not very lemony.

The restaurant was nicely decorated, the lights were nicely dimmed, and it was a great atmosphere. The restaurant was not crowded and so we were immediately seated. We started with salads, which were fresh and amazingly good for a salad! I had the house salad and my friend had the Caesar salad. Then we shared the chicken pesto pizza. It was very flavorful. The pesto did make the pizza a little heavy and soggy but it tasted so good that I would eat it again!

I am not a huge pizza lover because being dairy free usually means dry crust with crummy toppings, but not at Cavalli's! The service was incredible and the pizza just as amazing. I ordered a Build Your Own, adding all sorts of yummy veggies and skipping the cheese. This was by far one of the greatest cheese-free pizzas I've ever had. It's been three days and I'm still dreaming about the pizza. The crust was perfect, the sauce was the best balance and the toppings were plentiful and fresh. Three of my friends ordered the Arugula and Prosciutto pizza and loved theirs as well. I devoured every last crumb, I couldn't help myself. And the Annabella Chardonnay I had with it was so tasty too. I will absolutely be back, soon!

We ordered the…read morepepperoni cagliaritana, Caesar salad, TNT panini, small three cheese pizza, and tiramisu and every single thing hit. The cagliaritana had the PERFECT ratio of ingredients and the crunch on the pizza was unreal. Everything tasted and smelled insanely fresh. The Caesar was loaded with freshly shaved parm and somehow tasted way better than a Caesar salad has any right to. I think the croutons were also homemade? Perfect! The small three cheese pizza was also perfect -- great crust, great sauce-to-cheese ratio, and honestly the perfect size to split with someone alongside a salad. But the TNT panini?? Holy crap. The second you unwrap it, the smell of the garlicky focaccia hits you immediately. And the pink sauce was some of the best I've had. The tiramisu was also the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It wasn't overly sweet and soggy like most in this area. Cannot wait to try the cannolis! After years of searching for real Italian food, I finally feel like I found it. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, and genuinely kind people. The owner (or who I believe was the owner working the front) was so friendly, accommodating, and transparent about timing. We ordered ahead online and everything worked out perfectly. Already excited for the leftovers and cannot wait for another visit!

FRESH ingredients, they have to be made daily, the taste is so superior & clean - hands down some of the best pizza I've had! You can tell much love is put into the food Im giving this 4 stars for wait time/service - While I do understand good things take time, I believe they open at 4pm - a couple times I've ordered around 5pm, told could be a 45 min wait that turns to an hr & more. Then you get there, it's not a sitting type of restaurant - you just pick up. I've been there when at least 10 other ppl are waiting as well... it seems they are so good, either a bigger space is needed or more staff to accommodate. I say this also cause the last couple times, a younger lady is checking out clients, seemed she had to be new & somewhat confused as to working the front. Overall must try their delicious pizza!! Order ahead, run some errands, then pick up - is best
