Description

Caffe Riace, a robust Palo Alto trattoria, offers conviviality, homemade specialties and family-style warmth. One of many fine restaurants in the California Avenue section of Palo Alto, Riace is family-run. Every dish is made with honest expertise. No tricky trendiness here, just the same good old fashioned recipies Moremom and dad follow at home. Caffe Riace is also a perfect venue for wedding receptions, business meetings, graduations and other special events. If you're looking for an intimate dining experience, we offer private dining rooms, at no extra cost, that accommodate up to 20 guests. Our patio can host up to 200 guests and is a wonderful venue for warm weather events of any kind!

The ambiance in their small dining area adjacent to their kitchen was very warm and personal, and reminded us of small … Read full review
  • Rating: 5.0 out of 5"by Ceci L. at Yelp User Review12/17/2012Best and most sincerely-made (use Mascapone cheese instead of factory made heavy cream, and use lady fingers instead of sponge cake) Tiramisu I have ever had in the Bay Area. The pork tenderloin and seafood linguine we ordered were very tasteful and well prepared as well. Loved their service even … Read full review
