IL Palazzo Restaurant & Catering

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Il Palazzo in April. We had an amazing experience from start to finish and I would highly recommend Il Palazzo to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Nicole was so friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. She answered all of our questions and never felt pushy. Our ceremony was in the dining room downstairs and the white marble room was beautiful and so convenient to have our guests simply walk upstairs for cocktail hour/reception immediately after the ceremony. We also were able to use a large room downstairs to have the wedding party get ready in before the ceremony, and there were drinks and snacks set up for us down there. All of the food was phenomenal and my guests are still talking about how amazing cocktail hour was. The waitstaff and bartender were very professional and attentive. We had about 100 people and the space was perfect for us. We loved the cake and ice sculpture that was included in our package as well. Overall, I would give this 100 stars if I could- Il Palazzo was the perfect place for our wedding!

I just had my daughters communion here and I can’t say enough on how happy I was. This is my third event here and I will definitely be back. The staff were super helpful and on top of it all. The food was delicious and the room is absolutely beautiful. All of my friends and family members had good things to say. Thanks again for another beautiful party!

Absolutely amazing night for my daughters sweet 16! Nicole the manager was amazing to work with. Our servers Antonio and Barb were great!!!! The food was outstanding and the cake was just perfect. We used the paradise room (max of 50 people) and it was perfect and spacious!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I had my sons baptism there and I could not say enough things about them. From all the emails that Nicole responded, to the service we received to set up, to the waiters and the cooks- to the food!! EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! Thank you so much for all the details and all the help. If you are looking for a place to host a baptism, birthday party, wedding, sweet 16- look no further. This place is GREAT! The prices are reasonable, the service is outstanding and the food id beyond delicious!!

Just had our 10 year reunion for LRHS class of 2013, and it went so well! Nicole was extremely helpful during the planning process. She answered my many emails promptly and worked with us for whatever we needed. As always, the food was delicious and we had a lot of options to choose from for our event. Service was wonderful and myself and the other members of the planning committee didn’t have to do much at all during the event. I would recommend hosting an event here to everyone. Thanks IL Palazzo!!

What a beautiful wedding we had at IL Palazzo.
We picked this venue because it means a lot to us. When I was little we had many events at the venue. And my parents even got married there 20 years ago. My Nana who passed 4 years ago would love to also take me there for the lunch specials:). It's a place dear to my heart.
We had our dinner rehearsal the night before the wedding which was really great!

The wedding was the night after and let me tell
You it was an incredible time! Everyone had the best time and commented on how beautiful
The venue looked! We are so thankful to the staff and event planner Nicole, for working with us and being so accommodating. She is a sweetheart and a hard worker! The food was absolutely delicious and the cake was amazing!!!! Everyone loved it so much! People were telling me it was the best wedding they've ever been to!!! It was a night to remember forever.. at a beautiful venue that is so close to my heart. And right in my home town! Thank you for the beautiful event Il Palazzo. ❤❤❤

My wife and I just got married at IL Palazzo on New Years Eve. Our wedding and our reception was performed in the absolutely stunning main ballroom. The staff of IL Palazzo did not disappoint! They were very prompt and professional for our special day! And the food we chose to have was absolutely delicious! The establishment was very accommodating to our vision of a NYE Wedding, which made our day even more special! My review on here will not give IL Palazzo any justice on how happy my wife and I are for the service we were given for our wedding! A HUGE THANK YOU to Nicole & her staff for providing us an AMAZING wedding! And to the chef and cooks who made the delicious food for our guests!
We have received nothing short of rave reviews for you and your establishment! Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over again!
Highly recommended from “The Bott’s”

I once dated the roommate of a former Hell Kitchen contestant. So I Know a thing or two about cooking. This is by far the best Italian restaurant on the planet. I say that knowing full how many pizzerias their are in NJ. No offense to their competition but I'll Palazzo redefines what an authentic taste of Italian cuisine is all about. The heavenly sent of the food fills your nostrils as soon as you enter the parking lot. The overjoyed customers exiting look like they just had a deep profound religious experience. Having visited this restaurant I truly feel like I hate a meal served in heaven fit for a Saint. This place is a life changing experience.

I had my bridal shower at Il Palazzo on Sunday and it was beautiful!! Staff was very on top of everything and helpful. Food was delicious and the ballroom was stunning. Thanks again for making my shower so memorable!

November 20th was my first time celebrating something in NJ. I am so happy I did and I picked a nice place to do so. Nicole helped me with reservation and she knew what exactly I wanted for my daughter’s Quinceañera! Annmarie ran my event and she was great! The bartender of the night Cathy was awesome with all my guests! I am extremely happy that we picked NJ to had my daughter’s celebration! I brought my decorations and they gave me the time I needed to do it. The venue was perfect for my family and close friends to enjoy an espectacular night! Thanks 😊

We hosted my daughter's baptism party at IL Palazzo recently, and we had such a wonderful experience! It was affordable, and they made it easy to plan. Sal and Nicole couldn't be nicer and more professional. Everyone raved about the food, and the service was great! The room was beautiful, and we loved everything about it. We would definitely recommend IL Palazzo to others and would like to have another event there.

We recently had my daughter's bridal shower at Il Palazzo. It was the perfect day at the perfect place! Every milestone of her life
~ starting with her Baptism all the way through to her college graduation ~ was either held at ~ or catered by ~ Il Palazzo. So where else could we possible go to celebrate the bride to be?? The ballroom has been redone and was beautiful and the food was delicious (and plentiful). The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our servers that day - Kirean, Stevie and Antonio did an amazing job. My daughter told me she felt like a bride that day - Kirean checked in with her through the entire day making sure everything was to her liking and making sure that she did not need anything. I would highly recommend Il Palazzo for any event - big or small!

We cannot say enough about the beautiful Sweet 16 party we held at IL PALAZZO for our daughter. The menu choices were extensive and the Sweet 16 package included everything we could have ever wanted. Both Sal and Nicole made sure everything went as planned & the serving staff went above & beyond to attend to each of our guests' needs throughout the night. The newly renovated room is beautiful and the food was delicious...as always! Many thanks to everyone at IL PALAZZO for helping to make our daughter's 16th birthday a memorable one.

I just wanted to write and say thank you to the entire Il Palazzo staff for all of your help with my daughter’s first Communion party. Everything was so lovely, the food was delicious, and the entire planning process was so easy. Thank you for all of your help! We look forward to throwing a party with you all again in the future.

Food was delicious. Generous portions. A great value for your money which is often rare these days. We'll certainly enjoy the leftovers again tomorrow. Extremely kind staff!

Il Palazzo is a hometown staple and never let's us down

Food is absolutely delicious and reasonable prices. I also recently used them for catering and all my guests complimented the food!

I had my engagement party at Il palazzo. We had a buffet brunch. The food was delicious and the options were great, the perfect mix of breakfast and lunch. No one went hungry and we still got sent home with left overs. The cake was really good too, it was an added plus that they were able to put our photo on the cake! Our servers Antonio and Barbara were wonderful, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Il palazzo for any event and will definitely keep them in mind for the future!!

Awhile back we had my sisters bridal shower here and it was amazing. After that we catered our son's first birthday and recently our daughter's first birthday. They do not disappoint and we plan on using them to cater our parties in the future. The food is great and the staff/owner make sure you are taken care for your event. Highly recommend.

The food was good tasting and sold at an affordable place. Looking forward to there next special.offering.
