" I hadn't been to Palanza's in years but decided to return for nostalgia's sake. The food still holds up to my memories—especially the hearty portions! The Chicken Parmesan melted in my mouth, reminding me why I loved it back in the day. The staff is welcoming, and I love the family feel of the place. Can’t wait to take my kids next time!

I'll definitely make this place a regular stop on my dining outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Palanza's food was delicious, but I found that the wait for a table was longer than expected. Once seated, the atmosphere was pleasant and family-friendly. The portions were generous! My pasta was oily and lacked a bit of seasoning. I think it’s a great place for casual meals but may want to try new dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming experience at Palanza's! The menu has a great variety, and I found the pasta dishes to be truly enjoyable.

" Palanza's has been a staple in our family for years. The pizza is always consistently great, and we love the home-cooked feel of the entire menu, which keeps us coming back. I’ve also enjoyed exploring the weekly specials they offer. The only complaint I have is that they don't accept reservations and it can get crowded on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my meal at Palanza's, there were aspects that could be improved. The atmosphere is cozy, but the noise level can sometimes detract from the dining experience. My Alfredo was decent but felt somewhat bland. The service was wonderful, though, and I appreciated their attentiveness. I would likely try this place again, considering their other menu offerings. " (*Curated Review*)
