About Palo
Palo is Disney Cruise Line's signature Italian restaurant, offering an intimate adults-only escape with sweeping ocean views and impeccable service. Named after the signature poles used by Venetian gondoliers, the restaurant brings the romance of Northern Italy to sea with handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and an extensive wine selection. The elegant venue features rich mahogany woodwork, Venetian glass accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning sunset views. Both dinner and the legendary champagne brunch offer a refined culinary experience that has become a beloved tradition for cruisers.
Insider Tips
Things Disney won't tell you — but we will:
Book exactly at your booking window opening (120 days for Platinum, 75 days for others) - Palo fills up within hours
Request a window table when booking for the best sunset views during dinner
The champagne brunch is arguably the best value - unlimited champagne, bellinis, and an incredible spread
Ask for the off-menu items like the special pasta of the day or seasonal risotto

What to Expect
Your Palo experience begins with a warm greeting and escort to your table, often by the window if you've requested it in advance. Dinner is a leisurely affair lasting 2-3 hours, with multiple courses expertly paced. The sommelier will guide you through the wine list, and your server will explain each dish with enthusiasm. Brunch is equally indulgent, featuring a mix of breakfast favorites, Italian specialties, and unlimited champagne cocktails.
