Palo

“Palo is one of my favorite restaurants in Providence. Awesome vibe, clean environment, kind staff, and delicious food and drink. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough if you enjoy tapas. Fantastic date night spot!”

“Had a reservation and they let us get to our table early since we got there in advance. Love it when that happens. Perfect place for good tapas and just a short walk away from the Providence commuter rail station. I’d recommend Bostonians to make a trip down for Palo. The drinks were well made, I loved their patatas bravas (they had the right amount of sauce on) and their service was top notch.”

“If you're thinking about going, go. The food was tasty and flavorful. My party was celebrating a birthday and the server treated us to a wine tasting! Great service and a cozy atmosphere.”

“Our first visit to Providence - and for only 24 hours - but we chose wisely in finding Palo for dinner, a short walk from our hotel. The atmosphere is in one of the city’s oldest buildings right by the river and at the base of College Hill. Think stone walls, wood beams, candles on tables, and dimmed lighting. There was buzzy, Saturday night energy and all was good. Service was exceptional, with a super friendly and knowledgable server - tatted and pierced and happy to work at a place where she can be herself and deliver an awesome experience to people like us. She gave great advice on how many tapas to order, things to try that we may not have considered, which gins worked best with which tonics, and made us feel warmly welcomed to Palo and to Providence. We ate very well, starting with an excellent charcuterie board with thinly sliced meats and a nice local goat cheese, also a highly addictive fig jam. We also had patatas bravas, pan con tomate (with red and green tomato options; both were delicious but I was team green), grape leaves, and zanahorias, maybe the best plate of carrots I’ve ever had with spices and extras that made it pop. We tried the fish cheeks and they were well sauced and meaty, but a little too tough for my taste. For cocktails, we love a good Spanish-style gin and tonic and Palo delivers the big glass, aromatic presentation, and nice variety of gins and specialty tonics from which to choose. I selected a great Japanese gin with a yuzu infused tonic and it was perfect. We were too stuffed for dessert, but Palo’s server and kitchen treated us very well, making our first visit to Providence a memorable one.”

“The food and the drinks were delicious. Our waiter Santiago was awesome and very knowledgeable. We did sit next to windows that were a bit drafty but overall our experience was good. The wife and I will definitely be back🤙🏼”
