Three generations of the Moretti family have welcomed guests to this room with the same recipes, the same warmth, and the same devotion to the table.
Il Palazzo began in the small kitchen of Nonna Adelina Moretti, who believed that a proper meal could soften even the hardest day. In 1978, her son Roberto brought her recipes across the ocean and opened a single dining room with eight tables.
Today, that same dining room has grown — but the sauce still simmers for six hours, the pasta is still rolled by hand, and every plate that leaves the kitchen still meets Adelina's original standard: would it make her proud?
Granddaughter of Adelina, Giulia took over the kitchen in 2011. She trained in Bologna and Modena before coming home — and still starts every service the same way: tasting the sauce her grandmother taught her to make.
“Cucina fatta con amore. It is the only recipe that has never changed.”
Roberto Moretti opens Il Palazzo with eight tables and his mother's recipe book.
A partnership with growers in Tuscany and Piedmont brings our storied wine list to the table.
Chef Giulia Moretti takes over the kitchen, honoring tradition while sharpening every plate.
Every dish is still made in-house, every guest still greeted like family.
