Il Palazzo

LITTLE ITALY. Smack in the heart of Little Italy, this romantic, two-level eatery offers an enchanting escape from modern life. Indeed, things here are done the old-fashioned way – landscapes of the Old Country adorn the walls of the main dining room, the service is courteous and professional, and the fare is cooked-to-order. Regulars are torn over what the kitchen does best: Is it the pollo alla Palazzo or the gnocchi? The spaghetti or the tre paladini? One thing's for certain, dinner at Il Palazzo is an experience you won't soon forget. TRAIN: 6 to Spring St; 6, J, M, N, Q, R, W, Z to Canal St
