Palace Italian Restaurant in Lakeland, Florida

Palace Italian Restaurant in Lakeland, Florida is the best Italian dinner you will find in Central Florida.  With six locations throughout Central Florida, there is no reason that anyone who calls Central Florida home should ever have an Italian meal that is anything less than divine.

I have been enjoying the cuisine at Palace Italian in Lakeland for years. Shame on me for not shedding light on this remarkable Italian restaurant sooner.  My friend and I most recently visited the North Lakeland Palace Italian Restaurant location.

Food:  Is “divine” a word that you can use to describe food?  Have you ever had a meal at a restaurant and while eating it you seriously contemplated if God created the chef, his/her imparted knowledge of the culinary arts, and the components of your meal especially for you?  As vain as that may sound, those are the thoughts that cross my mind each time I eat at a Palace Italian Restaurant. To describe all of my favorite dishes and why I love them would simply be the beginnings of a book.  But, I will tell you that the flavors are fresh and authentic, the dishes are artfully crafted, the portions are very generous, and every bite is as perfectly delightful as the one before. Not to mention, the desserts are made in-house; daily. Light and blissful tiramisu, the absolute best cannoli you will ever have in your life, a tiramisu-like strawberry shortcake to die for, and much more. Disappointment is inconceivable.

Atmosphere:  Palace Italian Restaurant not only has a beautiful décor, but a comfortable ambiance that resembles the feel of a home.  Not the kind of home where 50 relatives are crammed into a dining room made for ten, but the kind of home that is made for 100 but you feel like the dinner was made just for you.  Personalized trinkets are found throughout these family owned and operated Italian restaurants and this family welcomes you to their dinner table.

Customer Service: From Pizzerias to fine Italian dining, no matter the location, it is clear that Palace Italian Restaurant is dedicated to the entire dining experience and not only the food. You will always be greeted and served with a smile. Furthermore, due to the pride they take in their traditional family recipes and the quality of their dishes, they will ensure that you are completely satisfied with your meal. During my most recent visit to Palace Italian Restaurant in North Lakeland, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sal, who, along with his wife, owns the North Lakeland location.  I was very interested to learn that all Palace Italian Restaurants throughout Central Florida are family owned and operated.  The first one, Palace Pizza, opened in downtown Lakeland in 1997 and is still going strong today.  Since then, this family from Naples, Italy has groomed sons, brothers, aunts, and cousins of the family to open locations throughout Central Florida. Lucky for us!
