Another bad Irish interpretation of Italian food
Palazzo Italian Restaurant
1 Marlborough Terrace, Strand Road Bray Co Wicklow Ireland




We popped in here for lunch on Saturday with the one year old. The location is excellent, opposite Sealife in Bray and it’s a lovely room with great decor.
Unfortunately the food didn’t match up despite the impressively large portions. My start of antpasto wasn’t too bad but the salami was far too thick and had two different types of chorizo instead of italian cured meats! Catherine’s bruschetta was pretty mediocre. Why is an italian serving rashers and feta instead of prosciutto and buffalo mozzarealla?
Catherine’s frittata was overcooked and missing the potato (wedges on the side instead). My linguine was ok but the flavour combo was weird - mix of sweet, creamy and spicy. Didn’t work.
This is just another mediocre Irish joint serving the same overpriced global bland fare you get everywhere. An Italian serving burgers and blackened chicken? C’mon. Have the owners ever been to Italy?

Next time you are in Bray make sure you pay them a visit for top notch Italian food, friendly service & a great wine selection.
Sounds fantastic. We’ll try it the next time we are up.
