• wedding dinner

  My daughter had her wedding, followed by dinner, in the private room upstairs.The space was perfect, the team was easy to work with, and the food and service was absolutely amazing. If you want an intimate space for a small private wedding, Palma is perfect!

• wedding reception, party of 20

  We held our wedding and reception at Palma in October 2021, and it was fantastic. The staff at Palma were extremely helpful in planning the event and masterful in executing it, including the incredible waitstaff. Chloerose's and Julia's perspectives were so great to have. We put our faith in their impeccable taste and were so happy with the result. They very kindly helped create a custom menu for one of our guests, who had very specific dietary restrictions. The ceremony took place in the garden, which was filled with lovely flowers. We then had a cocktail hour on the terrace, followed by dinner in the carriage house. The decoration and ambience were wonderful throughout -- and the food and drinks were stellar. We had a total of 20 people present, and everyone had a superb time. We can't speak highly enough about our experience, the venue, and the amazing people who helped bring it all to life.

• engagement party

  Hosted our engagement party here with close family. Everything was perfect - the food was delicious, the service was attentive and flawless, the ambiance was sublime. We were seated on the private terrace and felt like we were transported to a tuscan villa! Francesca and the event planning team were super - the constant communication, attention to detail, and care, was above and beyond. I look forward to hosting future events and regular dining at Palma in the future! This place is criminally underrated compared to its overrated Italian restaurants in the West Village area! Don’t hesitate - dine here or host your event here. You won’t be disappointed.

• private business dinner

  I had a great experience hosting a private business dinner at Palma's Carriage House room. The athmosphere was special, the food was delicious, and the service was incredible. I would gladly recommend others to visit your restaurant and consider hosting their events ther. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

• private party

  Woman outside was so rude after our party spent over $5,000. The service was great and we loved our waiters but left on a sour note due to this woman that worked there and was extremely rude on our way out.
