Low key, charming, the best! I don't really want you to know this as this place is still a relatively well-kept secret but they deserve you to know. The zuppe di pesce is a must a...

Attended a birthday party here at the back of the restaurant. The ambiance was nice, but our group did not have privacy. We kept getting interrupted by various people walking in t...

Amazing Private Parties!!! 9/17/2002

I threw my sister's bridal dinner at Palma and was so pleased with every aspect. The food, the service, the ambiance, and the people at Palma are incredible! I picked the restaurant off this site and can tell you that the pictures shown do not do the restaurant justice. I was initially nervous planning a dinner in NYC from San Francisco, but after speaking to Jacqueline (terrific in-house party planner) was more comfortable with my choice.... that comfort moved to amazement when I saw the place in person. We had drinks in the courtyard and moved into the little cottage/kitchen at the back for an incredible meal. The room was brimming with flowers and what seemed to be a hundred candles... it was so beautiful! Everyone had such a great time! PS Order the berries and meringue! DELICIOUS!!! more

Top Notch 7/31/2002

On a busy street (for French restaurants), Palma sticks out as probably the best one (and that's saying a lot with PO and Home within feet of the front door). Definitely worth checking out for between 2 and 6 people, but I'd be concerned with a larger group... Pros: food, service, location more

Perfect Little Gem 7/11/2002

The things I love the most about eating at Palma are the homey atmosphere, the exceptional service, and the big bowl of cherries on the bar. My eight year old daughter made fast friends with Palma's beautiful daughter and her friend, who were playing in the courtyard out back. Not only did my husband and I appreciate the quiet, but we also adored the food. We highly recommend the grilled meat platter, which is fabulously prepared and portioned generously. And try the spicy shrimp -- excellent. This is truly an escape to another place ... Pros: atmosphere, food, service more

Feels like you are on an Island 7/10/2002

Nice atmosphere with a great airy feel to the place. Service was helpful and not pretentious at all. Seafood is terrifc and the pasta dishes were good too. Try the spicy seafood antipasta or the mixed seafood platter. Pros: Atmosphere more

A hidden gem 6/27/2002

Hidden away in the W. Village Palma looks low key but packs an excellent food punch!! All the food is hand picked, start your meal with a glass of wine and a nice bruscetta. I have had the spicy pasta with seafood!! YUMMY. Crispy eggplant bites as an app were a new idea and great. Our server was honest and attentive. I think we stayed 3 hours and didn't even realize it, chatting, drinking wine. No pretentiousness - just good food and a great atmosphere. more

The New Favorite, Amazing! 5/24/2002

Palma is famous in the fashion world for their catering and now we're all lucky that they opened a cute restaurant in the West Village. My favorite is the spicy seafood pasta, it's the best that I've ever had! All of the seafood is exquisitly prepared and all of the ingredients are of fine quality. Every person that I've sent there can't beleive how wonder everey dish is. Try the boulibase and the fried calamari (lightly fried with fresh calamari). more

good, but better can be had for the pric 5/21/2002

Overall, my experience at Palma was good, but I was a little disappointed considering all the shining reviews here. Bruschetta was chewy (bread was not toasted) The cavatelli with veal ragu and mushrooms was hardly different from your run-of-the-mill bolognese. Seafood, however, was excellent, and is definitely the restaurant's strongpoint. The seafood stew and grilled branzino were excellent. But priced between $22 and $28, there are better restaurants around. Desserts were uninspired. more

Fantastic food and service 5/15/2002

This was my second time to dine at Palma and the food and experience only got better. To begin, my friend and I started off with the fried calamari and a chased it down with a nice glass of red wine. For my main I had the ongelet steak, hanger steak, which was grilled to medium rare perfection. My friend ordered the scallops which were served in a light red sauce that was complemented very nicely with atichoke palms. Very nice meal which was prepared exactly to our expectations. However, the best part of the meal came in the form of service. Troy, our waiter, was prompt - friendly and extremely professional. Because of the service and quality of food I will be returning again and again. Pros: Service, Quality of Food, Ambiance Cons: small wine selection more

    A mellow, Mediterranean mood prevails at Palma, a Sicilian spot that solidifies Cornelia Street as one of the best small restaurant blocks in Manhattan. Decor is simple and soulful, with chestnut tables and a stone-tile floor. Well-chosen music and soft-voiced, olive-skinned servers help the restaurant dance to a sultry undertow.
