ONLINE ORDERING AVAILABLE - ilpalioct.comIl Palio was named after the race held each summer in Siena, Italy. Created with a passion, the restaurant has been exquisitely designed and beautifully finished with materials from all over the world. No stone was left unturned and time was not a factor in finding exactly what was required to make the "vision" a reality. The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant. Il Palio's fine Tuscan cuisine is a pleasing combination of the highest-quality ingredients and the caring preparation by chefs who take pride in the dishes they present. Like the race in Siena, Il Palio is creating lasting impressions.

We wanted the best possible quality meat program, seafood towers overflowing with oysters, clams, shrimp, and mussels, and the kind of cocktails that are impossible to get sick of, all in a beautifully designed, unique space. And we wanted it not in New York – we want it right here in Shelton, CT. Enter Chaplin.

Rustic Southern Italian kitchen with strong influence from Tuscany. All professional staff with over 30 years experience."It is most certainly a gourmet establishment with a menu from top to bottom that is exquisitely creative with tastes and flavors and choices that make selections so joyously difficult--and with a wine list to match food and pocketbook. Consider this the now best Italian restaurant in the state. Three cheers for Biagio the chef.""Concealed jewel, but easily accessible off the parkway. Esteemed staff that goes about taking care of your every need, especially the maitre d'. Exceptional menu with meals that make you crave for more. The homemade pasta dishes are unequaled to any place in the state. This is an elite restaurant that I will entertain my family and my business clients at. Head chef will go above and beyond his means for satisfaction of customer."

    We started with the quinoa fritters, they were amazing. For Entrees we had the short rib with eggs, you can have your eggs any way you like. My wife had hers poached and mine scrambled. It was served with a side of roasted potatoes. The food came out amazing. Followed by dessert, a slice of cheesecake topped off in caramel sauce. Typically I find caramel overpowering sweet but this sauce met the perfect blend between bitterness and sweetness. Very well done

    Six of us dined at Il Palio for our annual company Christmas dinner. We couldn't have selected a better restaurant! Their Christmas decorations and lights are really tastefully done. We were given a table in a semi-private location on the 2nd floor. In hindsight this was just perfect for us. Service was professional and well paced. Everything, from cocktails to appetizers to entrees and desserts were outstanding. Highly recommended.
