My family and I have been dining at Il Palio on average about twice a month for the last ten years. My father and his friends eat there every weekend and often stay there for entire afternoons at a time. The wine list is most satisfactory and really does entertain some pretty impressive wines. When I was recently there my father and I enjoyed a fantastic bottle of Brunello. It is a family run restaurant and after going there for such a long time we have come to know them and they truly are a lovely bunch, always friendly and attentive. For those who can appreciate what a good Italian pizza should taste like, Il Palio will be heaven for you! They have an authentic wood burning oven which really adds to the authenticity and taste of the pizzas. Unfortunately, some people have become so accustomed to what can only be described as "American" pizzas - the thick, doughy and greasy concoctions served up in places such as Pizza Hut - that they are unable to appreciate a good pizza when they order one. If this is the kind of pizza that you want rather than a crisp, thin based pizza topped with fresh ingredients, then i suggest you take the advice of the first reviewer of this restaurant; DO go and buy a frozen pizza or go to Pizza Hut as you won't appreciate the masterpieces served up at this wonderful restaurant. And as for being chased out of the restaurant, I know Vito, and he is a lovely man and delightful host who is always the life and soul of the restaurant - all I will say is that whenever I eat there he is charm personified.
