My wife and I have eaten at this restaurant half a dozen times. Until our most recent experience, Th anksgiving dinner, I would have gladly praised it as comparable to some nice restaurants in Tuscany. But our Thanksgiving dinner persuaded us that we will never go back. First, the main courses Turkey most closely resembled prepared, pressed meat...ghastly. This may be due to a changeover in Chefs that is occurring. If so, it is clearly a change for the worst. Second, the billing was a rip off, this from a restaurant where I expect to pay $200! Because we have learned that the wine pairings are more wine than we want, we decided to just have a bottle of wine. Since we were seated in the tasting room, I reached over and looked at their various bottles of wine and ordered a Nebbiolo priced at $34.99. When our bill, $290, came, I asked about what seemed a mistake. I was told that the restaurant price for the wine was $65. O.K., but wouldnt it have been nice if Alessandro, the wine steward, had mentioned that while I was looking at the wine list where it was listed at $34.99. The response I received essentially amounted to tough. And this response seems to be a common theme in the reviews that are critical of Palladio. Tough service plus Tough Turkey makes Palladio a place to avoid.

What a disappointment. We ordered the prix fix meal with the wine pairing and were very excited about what could be the meal of our vacation. What we were encountered were short pours and a wait staff that completely ignored us. Short pours do happen, but other customers were getting their wines topped of while we had empty wine glasses. Food was good but spoiled by the lack of attention. The wait staff never once came back to check on us to see if everything was ok. At $150 for two people it was less than impressive.

Perfect! Intimate atmosphere, so hard to find anymore. Everything was excellent - standalone ingredients I abhor (green olives) are turned into dish I would order again (fried green olives stuffed with veal)! Waitstaff knows when to approach and when to leave you alone. And they were accommodating - I didnt care for one of the wines paired with my fish and they quite gladly offered another.

Every bite was delicious. Not a place to go for a quick meal, but my wife and I had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary. The food was outstanding, and the service was very attentive without being in any way obtrusive. It is pricey, but worth every penny.

A culinary experience that defies imagination. The atmosphere was top drawer. The pairings of the particular dish and wine were decadent. It was so nice to savor the flavor combinations in the dishes themselves. I truly look forward to eating there again.

Do NOT waste your time or money!! Service was terrible!! Even with terrible service they added a tip of over $180 dollars!! When we wanted to speak to manager he never showed.

Elegant comfort food in a beautiful setting. Elevated, simple Italian recipes. Make sure you take a walk around the vineyard before or after your meal. A fine experience.

Snotty, nose-in-the-air personnel. If you want bad, stuffy, substandard service in the middle of nowhere, this is the place for you!
