Palio d'Asti

Voted a "Best Bay Area Italian" top 3 pick by sfgate.com readers, Palio is a favorite of downtown denizens looking for the perfect spot to make a deal, travelers who appreciate Michelin rated comfortable dining, and anyone seeking an exceptional group dining or private party venue. A place where historic techniques blend with a contemporary approach.
Palio?s menu (including gluten free and heart healthy options) is a veritable culinary tour of Italy; emphasizing the cooking of different regions as the seasons change. Chef owner Dan Scherotter- who personally oversees the kitchen daily- has studied, lived, and worked in Italy. A founding restaurant member of Slow Food San Francisco, Scherotter insures that Palio?s menu utilizes organic produce from small, local farms as well as sustainable agriculture and aquaculture. The Wine Spectator award winning list has always been exceptional, including a wide range of Italian varietals and California offerings. Full bar.
