"My husband and I just got married and decided to try something unique during our getaway to Providence. Our first time having a tapas style restaurant and it was INCREDIBLE. I love the idea of ordering a bunch of small plates to share and experience more of a restaurants menu than one big plate. We weren't able to reserve a table, but walked in close to open and we're immediately seated. They advised of the time limit on the table (a very generous two hours!) upfront and were very nice and transparent about it. Once seated, Jenny, our server, was amazingly sweet and helpful with the menu. They were a great addition to the experience and made us feel welcome! We ended up grabbing the two meat two cheese platter, the twice baked bacon and the sliders. The bacon was the star of the show, served with a delicious apricot spread and slaw. Jenny helped us pick a dessert, the chocolate cremoso, which was equally yummy. Thank you to Jenny, the staff and the kitchen at Palo!"

"What a pleasant surprise! The garlic shrimp was especially delicious — super fresh and flavorful. The calamari was also quite unique. Our whole family loved the corn and pork ribs — the sauce was absolutely delicious. The ham and cheese in the tapas easily matched what we had in Spain. Prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere felt warm and cozy. We called ahead to make a reservation, so it wasn’t too crowded around 5 ：30PM."

"As Richard and I watch Eva Langoria travel through Spain while sampling the delicious tapas that Spain is noted for; we decided this summer we would seek out tapas dining here at home. Including the Cava wine that she explained in detail on one episode . We have enjoyed two restaurants so far and tonight we tried our third. Palo on Steeple Street in Providence proved to be a real gem featuring a large tapas menu with each dish artfully presented and a taste explosion that awakened our tastebuds with each dish we ordered. We began with a charcuterie board where we were able to select three meats and three cheeses. Each meat thinly sliced so that the meat and cheese were a true complement to one another. Next we enjoyed razor clams chopped and blended with olive oil and herbs-a true culinary sensation-did I mention the warm crusty bread that our waitress brought to soak up all that goodness sent us into razor clam haven!! How were the stuffed pita bread pockets with ground beef? Unbelievable-the taste explosion in our mouth made us question why we have not been here before. Then we sampled lollipop lamb chops with black lentils. Perfection in the manner in which they were cooked and paired with the lentils. Last but not least were the garlic shrimp-again the bread in the sauce-OMG-so good. We had to try dessert simply because everything was so good-and the pistachio phyllo cream dessert was no exception. This was an Epicurious adventure-one we cannot wait to go on again!!"
