Pallucci owners Neil and Michelle Siomra are clearly old-school restaurateurs with a new-school attitude. Their priorities are focused on cutting-edge cuisine and top notch service which fuels both their obsessions to make their patrons' dining experience a spectacular one.
Whether choosing from the freshly pounded, paper-thin, tenderloin Carpaccio with oven roasted capers, asiago cheese, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or a more complicated starter such as Neil's noteworthy spicy shrimp Diavolo sautéed in spicy tomato sauce with fresh garlic and basil and a splash of patron tequila - you'll find the results at Pallucci stunningly fresh and delicious.
The entire menu is enchanted with captivating rustic Italian cuisine.
For those who enjoy the classics when eating Italian, Pallucci's Pastas such as fresh linguine a la olio with fresh black tiger shrimps, broccoli and chili peppers are deliriously satisfying. If you're in the mood to eat like a king, try the spaghetti and veal meatballs with ripe tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. This dish attains its royalty and elegance through restraint.
Overall, all the pastas are consistently delicious and considerately priced.
During the summer months, an outdoor terrace situated amid a scintillating urban vista is likewise enchanting, but chef Neil Siomra's delicious Italian food preparations are the real reason to head here fast.
Eminently drinkable wines are similarly affordable, the chocolate raspberry tartufo is wondrously creamy, and service is amiable and attentive.
The house menu changes all the time, but there's always something alluring to try.
With its honest food and great value, Pallucci scores at the top of the list as a great neighborhood restaurant.
