Nice northern Italian restaurant with delicious food, huge portion, and attentive staffs. We enjoy the salmon, spaghetti bolongese, and pesto pasta. We feel welcomed and well served. Good wine list. Nice setting. If you want to sit in the patio, you should make a reservation.
My husband and I had a wonderful evening at Trellis Restaurant! We really enjoyed our dishes — everything was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent: warm and attentive. A special thank you for the complimentary dessert — such a kind and thoughtful gesture that truly made our night. Thank you for the cozy atmosphere and care. We’ll definitely be back! 💛
Loved this place. The owner and staff were SO, incredibly, kind. The food was very delicious! It’s a welcoming kind of energy that makes you feel like you’ve been going there for years even while it’s your first time. Looking forward to our next evening at Trellis.
I love Italian food, and Trellis is a food lovers dream! I went right after work. There was a private party in the back room, but the service and speed of entree's coming out was not deminished. I got seated quickly. I ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer. It is cut a little thicker than most places, but not so thick that is is gummy or hard to chew. Crispy, light and enough to share. I ordered the Fettuccine w/ Prawns, green onions, tomatoes & extra virgin olive oil. It exceeded my expectations. The tomatoes were bursting with flavor and added a sweet and fruity bite to the dish. The green onions provided texture and brightness to the dish. The prawns were not over cooked and there was more than enough throughout the dish. There was so many dishes on the menu that I wanted to try, I can't wait to go back. If they had a restaurant closer to San Francisco, I would be there again tonight! I didn't get dessert only because I did not have room. Next time I'm getting desssert first. This is a must visit if your in the Silicon Valley/Menlo Park area! The the staff, I'll see you again soon!
Almost 900 reviews giving 5 stars speaks for itself!! Our group of 16 women had an absolutely impeccable dining experience! From Kurt’s hearty welcome, to Jorge’s impressively attentive service, to consistently delicious fresh food appealingly plated! We continue to be repeat diners because this venue offers the most reliable and relaxed evening with outstanding meals!
Fantastic service, food and wine list! Our waiter was an absolute delight and very attentive. Lovely spot for a date night or meet up with family and friends. The Apple and goat cheese salad was refreshing, as was the chicken, don’t skip dessert! The tiramisu was delish. So glad we gave this place a try, authentic Italian food with a great vibe. Staff that takes pride in their service. Truly a delight to dine here with Murat as our server, he went above and beyond and it was such a treat. Also the upstairs patio is lovely!
Plating and presenting a dish can have tremendous impacting on the dining experience. For me it starts with the eyes, smell and all the other senses follow. Trellis did not disappoint any of my senses. The plating and presentation of my dish was perfect and the taste was equally impressive. It’s was just a well prepared and well balanced flavorful dish. I tasted the tomatoes, the garlic, onion, and a hint of wine playing in the background in the sauce. The pasta and thumb-sized prawns were cooked to perfection as if they were competitors vying for my taste buds. It was a tie because I devoured the dish. Oh, and the honorable mention is the warm rustic buttery Italian focaccia bread that’s crusty on the outside and pillowy on the inside, yum😋
Sooo yummy. Not a ton of vegetarian options but the gnocchi was 5 stars. Good size portions, flavorful without being too rich. They came around with parmesan and pepper. The bread was hot and fresh. Very happy my brother picked this place for his birthday! I would definitely eat here again.
Trellis has been a Menlo Park institution for 26 years. Very classy Italian food, every dish is wonderful. Tonight I had their famous “Susan’s Downfall” homemade cheese & herb ravioli, with creamy Gorgonzola sauce. My daughter got the Gnocchi with creamy tomato sauce, which got her highest rating. The homemade bread, was wonderful, with top notch olive oil & balsamic. My daughter asked for butter, & 3 baskets of bread, and the answer was always “Of course! Right away!” For dessert, Crème Brûlée, and Ice Cream with warm raspberry sauce. Just amazing. I’m a 30 year resident of Menlo Park, and I’ve been coming here since they opened. Always consistently amazing food, wonderful wait staff, and great atmosphere. We had a wonderful waiter tonight, Ferit, with 20 years experience, and you could tell. He made our visit very special. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!
