Di Palma’s

After a late minute cancellation with friends, the boy and I needed a place to eat around 8 last night that didn’t require a reservation. Italian came up, and we headed to Di Palma’s which is right around the corner from where we were. We lucked out on the window seat up front.
Initially, we both wanted pasta, but after reading the menu, we decided upon veal medallions with a pea and spinach purée (him) and pesto crusted lamb rack and tempura eggplant, goat cheese & shallots (me). Needless to say — we pretty much licked our plates clean. It was delicious!
A few observations, they have a pretty large menu, with about 10 grill options, 10 pasta options, and a couple dozen wood fire pizza options. Their wine list is quite good too. (We opted for the Hollick Cab).
It has an open kitchen, which wasn’t too bad since we were in the front, but I’d imagine if you were closer to the kitchen it would be quite loud — and you’d probably leave smelling a bit like the grill (which may not be a bad thing).
We didn’t get dessert, but literally every table around us did, and they all seemed to be enjoying it.
Our server was lovely, and I can’t fault him at all.
Suffice to say we will be back.
