Founded in 2001 by Palma D’Orazio and her husband Pierre, Palma began as an intimate 35-seat restaurant and has grown organically ever since—while retaining the cozy charm of a family home. Their daughters are now involved, and the restaurant exudes a welcoming, home‑grown energy where guests truly feel like family.
They emphasize seasonal, organic, and biodynamic ingredients from local farms and markets. Classic housemade pastas (like focaccia with generations-old yeast) and sustainably sourced seafood form the heart of their menu. Their approach is rooted in tradition: “Food nurtures the soul as well as the body.”
Housed in a historic carriage house and centered around a courtyard garden lush with seasonal blooms and ivy-covered walls, Palma offers a romantic and serene escape in the heart of the city—perfect for date nights, intimate dinners, or private events.
