Reviews
Make Me Feel Special
Special. That's exactly how I feel each time I dine at Il Palio. I've enjoyed breakfast, lunch, dinner, & late night dessert and nightcap and always leave pleased to the max. The staff is the finest and the food never disappoints. Personally, I love all the attenti...on. I'm a native of N.C. and have never found the same combination of quality food and service anywhere in the state. It's the FIRST place I recommend when asked ""Where's a nice place to take someone special for dinner?"" Their consistency is priceless.
Best Italian-I agree
This is really the best Italian food you can get in the state maybe even in the country. Well worth the price. This is a gem in Chapel Hill.
A little romance
This jewel of Chapel Hill offers exquisite food in a calm, dignified atmosphere. Plenty of ambience and well-trained service staff allow you to concentrate on the delights of your dinner companion and on the plate. A grownup's restaurant.
