This was by far one of my favorite meals in NYC. The courtyard was beautiful. The service- amazing. The food!!! I wanted to try everything. Calamari dish is a must. Fettuccine ai Funghi, fresh made pasta, mushrooms, and truffles. I'm going to dream about this dish. Everything was delicious. The Limoncello was a perfect ending to a perfect meal.

I live nearby and let me tell you I have been sleeping on Palma. I dont always want Italian because I am concerned I'll feel too heavy after. Do not make the same mistake as me and wait to eat here. Also, we did not realize, the back garden is high-ambiance. The lobster spaghetti was amazing. The spinach ravioli was even better. Do not be going to Palma and telling me you didn't get the ravioli. The sauce alone is enough to send you to heaven.

We came to Palma during a trip to NYC at the recommendation of my husband's friend. I snagged reservations in advance for right when they opened - we arrived a few mins before our time, but we just waited outside with a few other couples and slowly made our way in as tables were ready. The restaurant is on a cute small street (Cornelia St - yes, THAT Cornelia St), and it's fairly secluded. We totally would not have known it existed! Once we stepped inside, we saw why it came highly recommended. The vibe is impeccable - it feels like you are in someone's home in a villa in Italy, although with the "outdoor" and indoor space, it is pretty spacious. We were in the courtyard area which was just so cute with so many little terraces and plentiful roses around the space; it's an Instagrammer's dream! Despite getting there right when it opened, the restaurant filled up by the end of our meal. We never felt rushed by our server, who was very helpful and patient with us as we made up our minds. We started with a glass of wine (in retrospect, should have just gotten a bottle since we each got 2 glasses) which was delectable and a unique varietal. For our meal, we split a few antipasti and each got a primi. To start, we went for the eggplant parm and a fig / ricotta / prosciutto dish. The eggplant parm was dense but sooo good - it was so creamy and the sauce so rich to appropriately smother the crisp eggplant. I could have had that as my meal and been satisfied! The fig and prosciutto was much lighter and fresher, with excellent quality meat that was balanced with the creamy ricotta, sweet figs, and tart pomegranate seeds. It was a fantastic blend of flavors. I opted for the fettuccine ai fungi for my primi, I foolishly asked if I could get another pasta type that was not gluten free - growing up Italian, it was sacrileg to not have "traditional" pasta, but man did Palma prove me wrong. Per our waitress' rec, I kept the gluten free fettuccine and I'm so glad I did. I would have had zero clue that this was an alternative pasta type, and the noodle shape and texture lended itself so well to the creamy mushroom and truffle sauce (which was incredibly flavorful). I loved every bite of it, and I sincerely take back my request for a swap! My husband chose the pappardelle alla Bolognese, which he very much enjoyed as well. The pappardelle were so wide, encapsulating the rich meat sauce, which we could tell simmered for some time. The portions of the pasta dishes were quite appropriate - I didn't feel overwhelmed with the size, but I was pretty comfortably full after. I probs could have passed on one of the antipasti, but they were both delicious so I regret nothing. We were too stuffed for a secondi or dolci, although offerings on both parts of the menu were enticing. While Palma wasn't cheap, I do think the price point for the quality, portion, and experience of the meal is well worth it. We had such a memorable meal at Palma, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality Italian fare in an adorable restaurant space in a more secluded part of NYC. We hope to make it back soon!

Kind staff, delicious food and drinks, and a beautiful restaurant overall! I'd happily go back.

delicious meal at the famous, palma! we sat outside and were cozy warm under the heaters. the restaurant itself is gorgeous - especially the courtyard! definitely try to score a seat in there if you can. as a gluten free girly, i never expect ravioli to be an option and my oh my was it melt in your mouth delicious. a must try. special shout out to our server, nicholas - who was attentive, knowledgable about the restaurant and food, and fun to talk to.

We had a reservation for 2 after the dinner rush on a Sunday night. Palma had a lovely atmosphere, we were asked to wait for around 10-15 minutes upon arriving for our reservation. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and then brought them to our table when they were ready. We got the artichoke appetizer and each got a pasta. Food overall was excellent, service was where they lose a star. It took 15 minutes to flag someone down, and then another 10 to even have our check delivered. Our dinner ended up being extended by like 40 minutes as a result. Other than that, was very cute, good for girly dinner, would come back, definitely pricey though.

This restaurant was good but not great. I think my biggest disappointment was the focaccia. It was cold, hard and came without anything to dip or spread. The truffle pasta was the star of the show, so I am glad there was something that made it worth the visit. The music and ambiance were vibey, but it did feel a little dim and very crowded. I think overall based on the price point and difficulty getting reservations, it was a little underwhelming. But overall good experience and good service.

I came to this darling restaurant for a bridal shower. It is so insta worthy. It photographs beautifully. The food was authentic and delicious. Top of my list: The eggplant Parmesan. The branzino. The beet salad. The roasted vegetables. The tiramisu. As one of the hostesses of the shower I can tell you it was a frightfully expensive place to host a private event. Based on the pricing I had expected our room to be more private. But all the other events going on had to pass through our room. As the room is narrow, they had to frequently ask us to push our chairs in as they walked by. It took away from our intimacy for sure. At one point, a guest from another room knocked over a flower vase on the wall and broke it. Perhaps staggering event start times might have helped? Aside from that, I can see why this spot is a NYC favorite given the dreamy decor and delicious cuisine.

My friends and I came here for dinner and were super impressed! Both the inside and the outside were super cute (we ended up sitting outside but it wasn't cold with the heaters on). For appetizers, we ordered the Fritto Misto, Cavolfiore, Polpettine and Parmigiana Di Melanzane. All were very yummy but our favorite was the eggplant. For pastas, we ordered the Ravioli Cacio e Pepe and the Agnolotti Agli Spinaci. We couldn't decide as a group which we liked better but I personally loved the cacio e pepe. For dessert, we got the Tiramisu and Torta Di Ricotta. The tiramisu was the winner but the cheese cake was good as well - light and fluffy! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. Service was great and for 4 girls, this was enough food, though we weren't stuffed. The pasta dishes are a smaller than expected.
