We unpacked our bags filled with mozzarella, prosecco, and mortadella on Rue de la Merci in Bordeaux and named our Italian restaurant Palatino. Ciao to the capital of vino. You should see the neighborhood of our trattoria; our head pizzaiolo found himself surrounded by internationally renowned wines and endless vineyards. While we couldn’t resist bringing our Italian menu, we promised the Bordelais a taste of Nonna Tiziana’s cuisine. The 850-square-meter location has become a true Roman spot, with its ancient stone arches and balcony. At Palatino, there’s no fuss—just a holiday vibe and antipasti. Our team in the dining room will welcome you with the charm of a Venetian love affair, and our kitchen champions might make you regret ever trying another pizza. There’s plenty to enjoy: Apulian focaccia, truffle burrata, and seafood pasta dishes are the highlights of our southwestern French address.

Why don’t you take reservations ?
We use amazing products that come directly from amazing producers located in Italy. We only serve fresh, 100% made-in-house food. And in order to stay in the spirit of the authentic Italian trattorias we love so much, we offer a menu that’s as affordable as possible. The reality is that latecomers and cancelled reservations represent an enormous cost for restaurants. In order to be able to offer quality products at affordable prices, we have to ensure that all our seats are filled. Either we accommodate a lot of people, or we make a lot of profit.
Plus, there’s advantages to not having to reserve 2 months in advance just to eat a pizza ! To put it simply : we understand that not taking reservations can be inconvenient for our diners, but we have to weigh this consideration against the fact that we’re trying to offer high value-for-money by squeezing our margins. To make things just a little bit easier, we’ve put in place a wait-list system whereby our hostess take your name and telephone number and call you when your table is ready.
