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!

My wife and I went here for our Valentine's date. Its a cute neighborhood Italian restaurant that…read moreserves food that's much better than you have a right to expect in a suburban mall. 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.

Tried this place for the first time over the weekend, and we really enjoyed our first visits. We…read morewere able to get seated right away and our waiter was very friendly. 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.

We were in a mood to eat burgers and found Stix on Yelp since we wanted to look at a new place, our…read moreregulars are Rodeo Goat and Kenney's. Had read great reviews which was reassuring. You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.

The #1 ordered item is the burger but it tasted like it was a frozen patty and the bun was stale…read more Somehow the chicken strips were equally disappointing. We didn't even finish our food and gave it to our dogs instead. The atmosphere was...gross and felt trashy with loud drunks. Daytime might be different but cheaper beer and much more enjoyable food is incredibly plentiful around here. We have no reason to return.

We actually were going to a different place to eat but they were closed. So we stopped at Roman…read moreCucina with no idea what it was like. We were pleasantly surprised. It looked expensive from the outside but it wasn't. We were seated right away. They brought us some good bread to nibble on while we ordered. The tea was a little weak but I'm very picky on my tea. We ordered parmesan and garlic bread for an appetizer. It was huge and super tasty. The dipping sauce was very good. We also ordered a spaghetti bolanase. There was so much that I ate 3 meals out of it. We'll be back.

We didn't realize until we were ordering that they do a BOGO half off deal on entrees every Tuesday, as long as everyone orders an entree. As a result we definitely had too much food on the table but it was nice for our party of 7 to try a bunch of different things! I didn't have time to take pictures of it all, but we started with the bruschetta and the sautéed mushrooms. Bruschetta came out hot and great as usual, but the mushrooms were a bit salty. The complementary salads were nice and light and our servers were great at refilling waters and bringing out more free bread throughout the night. For our entrees, we ordered the creamy lemon shrimp pasta with spaghetti, the eggplant parm with fettuccine, the lasagna bolognese, the shrimp spezia, the tortellini bolognese (one of the specials that day), and the dolce e salato & cesarini pizzas. My favorite items of the night were the dolce e salato pizza (the sweet and savory combo was excellent and the crust was light and fluffy) and the shrimp dishes - the shrimp was cooked very well. I'm not a big red sauce person but the bologneses were also pretty good. The long noodles were a little mushy in all the sauce but the tortellini was not bad. Portion sizes were huge so we took three boxes of leftovers home! And one of the ladies at the host stand helped us take some nice group pictures outside the restaurant after our meal. For a solid local red sauce joint that will fill you up and then some, look no further!

This place is more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only…read morething preventing it from getting 5 stars was the wait time to get our food. Everything else was fantastic. I'm actually very glad we came here instead of the other places we had planned on going for lunch. When we went, it was not crowded and we got seated quickly. This place is fairly big, with plenty of tables and space. They also have a dedicated "beer garden" on one side of the restaurant. For food, i had to get jager schnitzel with spaetzle. My wife ended up getting duck. Before my food came out, they also brought out a salad. I don't know if it was part of the jager schnitzel entree or the duck... But the salad was amazing. Everything was pickled and very intense flavor. Both entrees were great and i also like the fact that they have a kid's menu that serves german food. (I was afraid the kids menu would have simple items like burger and or chicken tenders, but that's not the case here.) the lunch portions were perfectly sized.... granted its not "texas sized" but it did its job and i left satisfied. What i really like about the place is the interior decor. It looks like the owners brought back so many trinkets, souvenirs and photos from their trips to Germany and it makes it feel more authentic. This was actually one of the saving grace from waiting to get our food, i tried to look around to see all the different things on displayed. Service was great. I'll definitely be back!

I give no complaint to the food and the ambience, as I have always eaten well and enjoyed the jaunty, light-hearted ambience that this restaurant has provided for decades. My wife and I decided to take our kids out tonight to try German food. The service tonight was abysmal. We waited for twenty minutes for our waiter. When someone finally arrived, he was rather abrupt and rude. Tables around us who were seated immediately received bread before us. Our pickled vegetable side and a beer was brought out promptly, but this would be the only part of our order we received. We waited for over an hour without being checked in on one time. Once! The waiter appeared from the kitchen a couple of times clearly eating something and then disappeared for almost half an hour. When he finally reappeared I asked for more bread, as the kids were getting antsy. He did not verbally respond to this, but walked off and returned with a basket which he more or less tossed on the table, making an obvious effort to avoid eye contact with me. After an hour and fifteen, someone else came by and asked if we were okay. We responded that we were just waiting for our food. This person, too, disappeared without a response. At an hour and a half--kids hungry and depleted of whatever patience they had--we left. This makes a bitter end to what has otherwise been a joyful patronage to a local legend.
