Reviews for Palermo Ristorante Italiano in Elk Grove, CA

Had a great time at this restaurant. Came here with no reservation but we were still seated. This place had some of the best... Italian food I've had in the area. Wanted to try the 14 layer lasagna but there was a 30 min wait. Instead of that we wererecommended the rigatoni with meatballs with a side of vodka cream sauce. Which tasted amazing. Will definitely be back again totry the lasagna. The butternut squash ravioli was also amazing the aurora sauce definitely put this dish over the top. Fordessert we tried the canoli and the chocolate cake. Both were great. I'd definitely recommend the canoli because it's not thenormal cream filled ones. These were better by far. From what I've seen it's all family owned and operated. Our server was thegrand daughter of the older gentleman who was going from table to table checking in on people. All in all I'd highly recommendthis place, you won't be disappointed. Read more

First time here, and Oh. My. God. The butternut ravioli with aurora sauce was on special. It was sublime! I wanted to swim in... the sauce! It was that good. The minestrone soup was delicious, chock full of vegetables. The limoncello flute was heavenly! Theservice was excellent! Worth every penny! Yum! Read more

Amazing food and space. A little slow to seat but than again it's a family establishment. Would recommend!

Went here due to the reviews and was not disappointed. The minestrone soup was the most amazing I’ve ever had. The taste was... so amazing. I got the Chicken Marsala with capellini noodles and pesto Alfredo sauce which was different from what I hadexpected but was sooooooooo good the sauce from both was awesome. My husband had one of the specials which the sausage in themeat was great. I strongly recommend going if you love Italian food or even if you don’t the FOOD IS AMAZING. Read more

Moved to the area recently and have been wanting to try this place. I was not disappointed. My nephew tried the Lobster Ravioli... special and I had the Seabass & Scallops on Linguini with Putanesca Sauce special. Both were amazing! For dessert we hadTiramisu and Chocolate Gelato. Those were very good too. Side note, like many restaurants, they are short staffed and the staffthey do have, are mostly new. We did have a bit of a wait, but our server Oriana, hope I got that spelling right, went the extramile to make sure we had excellent service. I can't wait to return and try more items off the menu.

Ok, so we've all done it or had it done to us right? We've either had someplace of something over hyped up and talked about and... then been disappointed because the expectation from what you've been told or told someone about was not met. Am I right? Wellthis restaurant has been hyped up to me by my parents and friends for a while now. We just had dinner tonight and we were notdisappointed at all! Finally the hype was real and deserved! The food was absolutely amazing from the warm bread and butter tothe dessert and everything in between. If you want authentic Italian food, big portions, are ok with paying for the high qualityfood you'll receive and have some patience with the servers and cooks then this is the place to go! Well be back for sure! Read more
