Check out this Italian ristorante opening and martini bar in Schenectady, wine bar, and discover the Secrets of Palazzo Ristorante Revealed.
Driving around Schenectady you will soon be able to enjoy patio dining, upstate New York travel, and more live entertainment in Schenectady.
The night before the soft opening we joined Joe and his staff for the Secrets of Palazzo Ristorante Revealed… We sampled the parmiagiana di melazane (baked eggplant parmesan) at this Italian casual dining restaurant.
Restaurant patrons from near and far enjoyed the light menu at Palazzo Ristorante, located at 2780 Hamburg Street, in Rotterdam, NY… After a long wait, Joe and his staff are open and ready to serve #italianfood for #travelandfood and the #taste518 area.
If you are looking to enjoy some of the best Italian food in Schenectady then you have to dine at this former Cusato’s pizza owner’s new Italian ristorante opening for the light menu, wine bar, martini bar, and espresso bar in Schenectady—not just for the eggplant parmesan—the Penne Alla Vodka, and Chicken Francese we tasted the night before were equally excellent.
I could not resist ordering the Steak and Gorgonzola Salad for lunch at this Italian ristorante opening—a grilled 6-ounce top sirloin tender steak seared perfectly and sliced—served over their house salad with your choice of dressing and creamy and earthy Gorgonzola (Italian bleu) cheese ($17)… I chose the Creamy Italian dressing on the side… The salad was delizioso.
My Lombardi family lady enjoyed the ANTIPASTO—assorted Italian cured meats of salami, pepperoni, sweet capicola, assorted cheeses, pepperoncini, olives, roasted tomatoes, and house-marinated artichokes ($13)… We took the leftovers home to eat later for dinner with Parmigiana di Melazane (Eggplant Parmesan) made by Mama Modesta of Lagioia Deli.
Soon The Palazzo Ristorante will offer live entertainment in Schenectady and patio dining… I Look forward to the live entertainment in Schenectady both indoors and outdoors at The Palazzo Ristorante — and plan to do a pizza review in our food guide, Taste of Schenectady® and Beyond™ magazine—and in our 518 pizzerias magazine on https://518PIZZERIAS.COM
