If you long for a trip to Italy, Il Palio is the next best thing. The rich upholstery, hand-carved credenzas and fresh flowers set off a mural of Siena and Venetian prints on the walls. Italian sconces and soft candlelight create the perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner or intimate lunch. Aged prosciutto from Parma tucked into an arugula salad is exceptional. Homemade Potato Gnochetti with almond basil pesto is comfort food gone sophisticated. The Tiramisu is the chef's own family recipe. It is located in the renowned Siena Hotel.
