Friday night at Palazzo Di Bocce is a pleasant experience. Even for a Friday night it wasn't over crowded and noisy allowing for an enjoyable dinner together and some good conversation.

The ambiance of Palazzo is inviting and relaxing allowing for a more carefree attitude. The staff are all friendly and at no point do you feel like you are in an overly upscale restaurant for the rich and famous, but the experience is elevated enough for a nice evening out. Our server Janelle was friendly, helpful with the menu, and had a great sense of humor. Her service was great as she was around to take care of our needs but not overbearing. On top of the other staff pitches in to address immediate needs as they see them arise.

Having been to Palazzo for a couple work parties and for dinner as well the experience has been great every time. The food has been good to excellent every time.

This trip for us featured a draft beer and lemonade to drink (highly recommended if you don't like it too sweet) calamari and bruschetta, lamb chops and ravioli promodori.

The calamari is good and large pieces, but may be a bit salty for some. The bruschetta was also good as well and if you like goat cheese give it a try.

I ordered the clam chowder along with the main and it is quite good, it does not have the seafood taste many chowders get that aren't of good quality.

The lamb chops came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portion size was great for the price and the plate as a whole tasted amazing. Nothing I would change.

The Ravioli was excellent as well and included on the plate was sausage. Highly recommended for ravioli fans, and again, a great portion size.

For dessert we had the cannoli and tiramiso. The cannoli is recommended by the cannoli love and the tiramisu portion is large and I thought it to be well done.

If you have a taste for Italian dishes I believe Palazzo is the best in the immediate area I have been to and think the experience overall is worth the trip. Of course, if you want to get a game in, that is available as well.
