"Palmeri is our favorite date night spot in the neighborhood, even though it can often feel awkwardly half-empty. Use the peace and quiet to talk with someone for hours, or maybe eavesdrop on another couple's mundane argument while you eat some consistently good Italian food. We like the crispy-bottomed, bubbly-topped pizzas, the meaty bolognese over fresh tagliatelle, and the perfectly cooked veal chop." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
