Our Story

The original Palio was born in September of 1991, bringing a country-style, Italian restaurant featuring authentic dishes to downtown Ann Arbor. Named for the famous horse race that runs yearly through Siena, Italy, a record is even kept of the race’s winners on a mural along the back dining room wall. Our second Palio location in Grand Rapids opened in April 2017 bringing a lot of the same authentic dishes to the West side of the state.
