"In a different era, Palio was a hotbed for eager post-work downtown office-goers looking to make good on the old-school Italian spot's happy hour deal: a $1 full-sized pizza with the purchase of two drinks. The deal is no longer (call it too good to be true, or more likely inflation), but this place is still a great spot to blow off some steam after a 9-5."
"That pie special has been replaced with a solid $8 shareable pizza margherita (add mushrooms and pepperoni for a dollar each) and other happy hour-only dishes, including a tasty carbonara, ricotta with foccacia, and shrimp scampi. The bar and lounge are sizable, so if you've got a big team outing to plan, direct folks to Palio's couches, stools, and loveseats (just be sure to get there early before it fills up)."
"Saturdays, though, look a bit different at Palio. Happy hour from 5-8pm is still happening, but it's the dining room that gets all the attention. Older couples and families settle in for a quiet, well-lit dinner, ordering the usuals from staff they've probably known for years. We suggest following suit and also getting those enduring favorites like a very cheesy funghi pizza, a tagliolini laced with silky Dungeness crab meat, and a custardy roasted eggplant topped with two kinds of cheese."
"Whether you're here for a rowdy team outing over drinks and pizza on a random Wednesday or a serene Saturday night dinner with your parents, both feel right."
Palio previously featured a $1 full-sized pizza deal with two drinks, but the offer has been replaced by an $8 shareable pizza margherita. Happy hour still runs and includes add-ons like mushrooms and pepperoni for extra cost, along with dishes such as carbonara, ricotta with focaccia, and shrimp scampi. The bar and lounge provide ample seating for large team outings, though it fills up quickly. On Saturdays, happy hour continues from 5-8pm, while the dining room becomes the focus for older couples and families seeking a quiet, well-lit dinner. Familiar staff and enduring favorites like funghi pizza, Dungeness crab tagliolini, and roasted eggplant with two cheeses fit both casual and parent-friendly visits.
