NYC | Palma đ¸đ A Romantic Italian Garden Escape
Tucked away in the West Village, Palma feels like stepping into a dreamy, sunlit conservatory. The space is wrapped in fresh blooms and greenery, with a semi-outdoor courtyard crowned by a glass ceiling. Soft candlelight glows among the flowers, creating an atmosphere thatâs effortlessly romanticâperfect for dates, celebrations, or simply a beautiful meal. It was a day to rememberâbittersweet, really. Palma is just a 4-minute walk from your favorite spot, making the closeness almost poetic. Letâs just say we almost walked the same ground. đ đ˝ď¸ What We Tried: â Crudo di Dentice $30 âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Thin slices of red snapper, bright and delicate. Fried capers add a salty crunch, while lemon, basil, and olive oil tie it all togetherâlight, fresh, and elegant. ⥠Spaghetti allâAstice $42 âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Handmade pasta with half a Maine lobster, tossed in a vibrant Vesuvian tomato sauce thatâs tangy, rich, and just a little spicy. Absolutely deliciousâa must-order! ⢠Spezzatino di Manzo $46 âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸â¨ Slow-braised beef with three kinds of mushrooms in a deep red wine sauce. The meat is tender and flavorful, served over creamy polentaâcozy, hearty, and perfect for fall or winter. ⣠French Toast $24 âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Ended on a sweet note with this brioche French toastâcrispy outside, soft within, drizzled with honey and served with what tasted like poached pear and vanilla cream. Just the right sweetness, though the portion is generous⌠you might need a breather! While Palma shines in ambiance and delivers several standout dishes, itâs the kind of place you visit for the experienceâthe garden-like setting, the warm light, the feeling of being somewhere special. Whether for brunch, a romantic dinner, or a leisurely meal among flowers, itâs a lovely escape in the city. đ´ Palma đ 28 Cornelia St, New York, NY 10014 #NYC #NYCRestaurants #ItalianFood #RomanticDining #GardenRestaurant #WestVillage #DateNight #NYCFoodie #NYCEats #FoodAndAmbience #TravelDining #RestaurantReview #NYCBrunch #HiddenGem #EscapeTheCity
