Job Description

Palio, our namesake, is inspired by the world-famous Palio di Siena horse race held twice a year in Siena, Italy. This celebrated event infuses our restaurant with its vibrant energy and bold spirit, making Palio more than just a dining destination—it's a way of life. Our establishment is a full-service casual dining restaurant that prides itself on authenticity, embracing the essence of Tuscan-style cuisine and culture. Located in a dynamic dining environment, Palio is renowned for its robust food and spirits, creating a memorable experience for each guest that walks through our doors.

Palio features an extensive menu showcasing authentic Tuscan dishes such as large pizzas crafted from our industrial gas-fired stone pizza oven, classic Italian favorites like bolognese, carbonara, and lasagna, all prepared with fresh herbs sourced from our in-house herb garden. The culinary team emphasizes scratch-made dishes and creativity, with a focus on seasonal and local produce. Our beverage program complements our cuisine with a wide selection of craft beer, unique hand-crafted cocktails, and an expansive list of wines and grappas.
