A long-running family dispute over The Palm Restaurant chain reached a settlement expected to total $12 million to $18 million this week, signaling an end to years of litigation in New York between the two families whose Italian immigrant ancestors founded the first Palm on Manhattan’s Second Avenue in 1926.
