Named after the signature long poles used by gondoliers in Venice, Palo serves an adult-exclusive restaurant serving Italian fare in an intimate setting. It is our favorite of the adult restaurants across the fleet.

– Palo Brunch & Dinner on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder
Bedecked in royal tones of wine and gold, the atmosphere at Palo on the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder is both upscale and romantic. Elegant furnishings include Venetian glass and decorative masks, complemented by the inviting sounds of live piano. An onstage kitchen beckons you to sneak a peek at your dinner being prepared, as our talented chefs combine flavors from Italy in deliciously inventive ways.
Best of all, Palo boasts ocean views from nearly every table, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and the dining room’s semi-circular design.
Palo Brunch
Palo is such a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the cruise ship. The setting is beautiful, the ocean views sweeping, the service spectacular and the food delicious. Brunch is my absolute favorite – even more so than dinner. Brunch starts with a complimentary champagne or mimosa. As you can see, it was a dreary day and we were so happy to have been tucked into Palo at this moment.
We enjoyed two specialty cocktails during our slow afternoon of indulgence. A full bar is available.
The meal then moves to a first course of pastries, and your choice of a seafood or meat starter. We love to do one of each.
Palo offers a prix fixe and a la carte menu. I’ve done both but prefer a la carte so I can enjoy my favorites. On this visit, we did the tomato soup, chicken parmesan and lasagna. Do not miss those two dishes – they are EXCELLENT! If I had to choose one, it would be the lasagna.
For desert we enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Divine.
Palo Dinner
While brunch is my favorite, I love dinner almost as much! We did both on our most recent cruise on the Magic.
Your dining experience begins with an amuse bouche and bread.
Like at brunch, you can do a la carte or prix fixe. Again, I do prix fixe. We chose the agnolotti, gnocci and pappardelle this time. The agnolotti and gnocci are the stars, in my opinion. For our second course we did the scallops. They are delicious, but not quite as good as the dover sole I typically order here.
Don’t sleep on the chocolate souffle for dessert. Scrumptious.
I encourage all of my cruise clients on 4-night sailings or longer to make a night to enjoy an adult exclusive dining experience!
