Best Italian Restaurants in Durham

Such a great atmosphere!! Staff was awesome Manager was great- really made it freat for patents and players from duke lacrosse team

Loved our dinner at il Palio. Service great as usual as was the food! We got calamari, cacio e pepe, black truffle tagliatelle, and both ordered scallops for dinner. Bomboloni for dessert was also amazing as usual! The black truffle tagliatelle is a personal favorite.

Great option for three and four course traditional Italian meal with a date or group. Knowledgeable staff. Maggie was helpful with both the food and wine menu. Open air kitchen makes for an aromatic environment, tonight was brown butter sage.

We went on Valentnes Day, which is why the noise level was so high this particular day and it took longer than normal for our food to arrive. We won't hold that against them due to the place being completely packed. To be honest, I think they did awesome accommodationing everyone and had a great way of handling such a busy time.We've been to this location before and love the atmosphere and quality of food. Our server was awesome and very interactive with us. I'd recommend Maggiano's to anyone.

Ordered a mixed drink - Endless Summer- spiced and coconut rum, montenegro, guava and lime, delicious. Their Focaccia served with Ricotta with honey,delicious. We ordered the rigatoni CAB colognes. They used radiatore pasta instead, shape of pasta makes no difference. We did not care for the sauce, too much of the sauce and mixed all together. Edible, but expected more. Came with ricotta. It was Valentines Day. They gave me with the bill a lip mask, will have to try, and a pair of heart shaped rose colored glasses. God knows I need to look at the world now through rose colored glasses. All and all a nice visit.
