Restaurants in Royal Palm Beach

Seated at booths or on an outdoor patio with brick floors, patrons of Pizza Stop and Pasta bite into New York-style pizzas with toppings such as baby spinach, roasted garlic, and sweet Italian sausage. Chefs also pile hero sandwiches with cold cuts and, bake pasta dishes, and toss chicken wings with tangy sauces.

Chicken, roasted peppers, and parmesan. Artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil pesto. Spinach, kalamata olives, and gorgonzola. These fixings mingle with mozzarella atop City Pizza Italian Cuisine’s gourmet pies. For something more conventional, try the menu’s build-your-own pizzas or a customer’s creation such as the meat lover’s, topped with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, ham, and bacon. The restaurant’s other Italian grub includes hero sandwiches, pasta, calzones, and stromboli.

Treating dinners to inspired Asian-fusion cuisine, Asian Fin Restaurant wraps freshly caught fish in dozens of rolls augmented by the creative ingredients that line the eatery's sushi bar and sizzle from its kitchen. Japanese steak-house entrees ornament tables in a brightly hued dining room that shelves colorful vases. A flowering-tree mural with dangling red blooms draws the eyes of diners as they enjoy their steak, free-range chicken, or catch of the day at candlelit tables and finish meals with a homemade dessert offering of pumpkin cheesecake or white chocolate brownie. Guests can also cure their itchy throats without swallowing back scratchers by sipping on Japanese green tea or the fully stocked bar's supply of imported sake.

Hunkered down within a plaza in North Palm Beach, Allora Pizzeria & Ristorante engages appetites near and far by sending hand-tossed pies out the door for local delivery and simultaneously seating customers in a homestyle dining room. The menu's notoriously fresh fare serves up southern Italian staples with more than 20 entrees that weave pastas, poultry, and seafood in and out of bold marinara, alfredo, and wine sauces. To accentuate its homey atmosphere, the eatery employs a friendly staff and boasts warm décor, including a wood bookcase and wall-mounted light fixtures that give off a romantic glow. Allora pairs its meals with the authentic sounds of instrumental Italian ballads played over a speaker system that learned Italian from a native speaker.

The staff at Italiano's Pizza, Pasta & More cooks up Italian-inspired fare, rising early each day to begin kneading pizza dough and stirring sauces. In the busy kitchen, a panini press clamps down on slices of bread concealing prosciutto and mozzarella or chicken parmesan alongside plates of seafood and eggplant. Diners also concoct their own pasta dishes, choosing from five fresh-made sauces and a variety of noodle shapes, which each hold sauce in distinct fashions and allow macaroni-based greeting cards to convey more complex emotions.

Aleyda Cardona's first restaurant was a truck. Originally intending to sell tacos and burritos across the city with her family, she had to change her plans after the engine began leaking oil on the first day. Instead, she stayed put for the next year as customers sought out her time-tested recipes, finally earning enough to purchase a new truck, and she eventually found permanent restaurant locations.

In addition to sizzling fajitas and homemade salsa, cooks also prepare innovative, Latin–inspired meals, such as a Texas–style steak dusted with garlic and cumin and grilled orders of shrimp and lobster in spicy tomato sauce. Every entree draws on hand-selected proteins, low-fat cooking oils, and produce that is delivered fresh daily, much like the restaurant's air supply.

Potent margaritas based on the family's secret recipe keep meals lively as diners converse amid turquoise walls and a dining room that mimics the feel of an outdoor patio. Leafy plants and piñatas dangle from the room's streetlamps, and backlit stained-glass windows adorn the walls alongside framed pictures.
