"My partner and I stumbled upon Ristorante A Palazzo while exploring the charming streets of Reggio Emilia. Uncertain of what to expect, we ventured pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. The restaurant boasts a relaxed yet elegant ambiance, perfect for a special occasion or a casual dinner. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering recommendations and catering to our every need with genuine warmth. The menu showcased a delightful selection of dishes featuring traditional Emilian cuisine with a modern twist. For our main course, my partner decided on the tortellini, a classic Emilian dish. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the filling was rich and savory. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and the expertise of the chef. I opted for the octopus as a second plate, which he described as equally delicious and satisfying. The octopus was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and the accompanying pumpkin sauce added a touch of acidity that balanced the richness. We were both pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions, which were ample without being overwhelming. This allowed us to savor each course without feeling overly full. Throughout the meal, the service remained impeccable. The staff was attentive without intrusive, ensuring our dining experience was enjoyable and comfortable. Overall, Ristorante A Palazzo exceeded our expectations in every way. The delicious food, the impeccable service, and the charming atmosphere made for a truly memorable dining experience. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Emilian cuisine with a modern twist."
