The Palazzo Ristorante - (Near Schenectady, NY)

5 /5 Matthew Musto: Its Rotterdam, so my expectations going in were not amazing, but isnt that the best way to find a gem? Right from the start, the service was amazing. A short five minute wait for a table, the manager checked on us within the first few minutes to make sure our waiter found us. He is great, btw. But the food is the real story. Top notch. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Maryclaire Dumas-Landisi: Wow, a wonderful place to go out for dinner! Not only is the ambience amazing but the food and the service are incredible! Michael, the bartender is extremely professional and cordial! Wendy Hostess it’s so polite and very friendly. This is the second time I’ve been here since I moved, and I can see myself coming back! From their trout special to their incredible chicken fingers, mussels, scallops And rigatoni bolognese It’s a no-brainer!! Great menu and great atmosphere!

5 /5 Sonisha Walker: This was the first time my husband and I visited. We were looking for restaurants super close to home and this was perfect. There is ample parking. We were seated immediately and our server was Amanda. She was very kind and always checked in on us throughout our meal. The atmosphere was very pleasant and everyone around us was eating and having a great time. We were sitting by the windows next to the bar area. It didn’t feel crowded at all. Because this was our first time, we decided to order basic things to see if we liked it. I had a specialty rum egg nog drink and it was absolutely delicious! They didn’t skimp on the alcohol which was greatly appreciated. The appetizers came and I got fresh, hot and perfectly salted steak fries while my husband got garlic Parmesan wings. He was very happy with the size. They were huge! He also mentioned how he loved that the garlic Parmesan was a true sauce consistency. Most places it’s just oily garlic. They were so good! Next for dinner was the chicken parm and cheese ravioli with meatballs. The chicken parm was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. The meatballs melt in your mouth and you can tell they are house made. The sauce was incredible! We had dessert to complete our meal. Cherry cheesecake that was absolutely divine and a dulce de leche cheesecake that was also delicious. Not as creamy as the strawberry one. But still very good. Overall we had a great time and again our server Amanda was so sweet. Our bill came to $120 which is very reasonable. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. We will definitely be back!
