A family owned Italian restaurant in San Francisco, making food with love since 1990
Chef and owner Martino DiGrande grew up in the restaurant industry, he’d say he was literally born a line cook. He’s a first generation Sicilian American, born and raised in San Francisco, and exudes a pride for food and family that shines brighter than gold. He would joke that Palio’s tagline could have been, “When you’re here, you’re family.”
After 30 years of having an interior resembling a postmodern medieval castle, Palio was seriously ready for a refresh. In partnership with Acta Non Verba our goal became to modernize the restaurant by giving it a classy, boisterous, and nostalgic twist that would reflect DiGrande. Responsible for all branded materials, I also contributed to the schematic design phase of the project in addition to selecting interior surface materials.
