"An upscale Italian restaurant by Roman chef Emidio Tidu, Palma Ristorante is the latest addition to Burbank’s dining scene, serving a menu from Italy and the Mediterranean coast with highlights like squid-ink tagliolini, truffle-topped pizzas, and pappardelle con coda alla vaccinara with tender oxtail. I can expect a full raw bar with oysters and fresh crudos, larger aged and wood-fired steaks, and weekend lunch and brunch offerings that include pastries, coffee, Italian gelato, and a bloody mary cart stocked with pickles, bacon, shrimp, and more. The 7,000-square-foot space features an open kitchen so guests can watch the action, velvet-upholstered booths, a separate oyster bar, and an outdoor patio, plus a full bar with wine, cocktails, beer, and spirits." - Rebecca Roland
