   We ate outside on a beautiful night in Menlo Park. The service is always great and our waitress was a pleasure. The food is always good and we run I to so many friends while we are there. Everyone loves La Stanza.

   Most pasta was undercooked and they seemed short staffed, rather inattentive to our table of 5.

   We were delighted to find an expanded and upgraded former Piccolo Italian restaurant. The ambiance is very nice with white tablecloths, the food is delicious and the service was friendly and attentive.

   We had a delicious dinner here last night. Both of us had the special of the day, veal scaloppini, which came with roasted potatoes, brussels sprouts and baby carrots. All very delicious. We shared the scrumptious cannoli dessert! We sat outside at a small table. It would be nice if they could add some plants or other decoration outside, but perhaps it isn't allowed as it's on a sidewalk. Nice evening was had by us though.

    Wonderful Evening! The service was perfect, the food delicious and the ability to have a good conversation with moderate noise made for one of the most enjoyable dining experiences in a long time!! Thank you Danny for allowing us to set the pace and for your attentive and knowledgeable service ... you set the tone and went above and beyond! I am sure that we will be back!

    Food always reflects the skill and creativity of the chef. Gazpacho, for example, had a hint of vinegar, something I'll do at home, too. Gnocchi are amazingly tender and flavorful - the addition of eggplant puree is genius. Try them!

    We had dinner at one of the outdoor tables along the front sidewalk. The tables were completely shaded by the roof overhang and very pleasant. We were dining prior to a Music at Menlo Concert and had a very nice experience at La Stanza. They quickly brought water and soft Italian bread with a tasty tomato dip and replenished the bread after we ate it all. We split a Caprese salad, lamb pasta, and tiramisu, all excellent. The service was attentive and well-paced for a relaxed, but not overly drawn-out dinner. Enthusiastic about this small, lovely restaurant.

    This is our tried and trued great iItalian food. The price of dishes have gone up a but only up to average prices of other restaurants. Dishes still delicious, but chocolate mousse a bit sweet. Waiters and service just as good and love that it is easy to make reservations.

    We had a very nice pre-theatre dinner on Tuesday. Food and service were excellent and the place was very cozy. I don't normally dine in Menlo Park but I thought I'd come back again. Bathroom was very clean. I thought music could be a bit louder. Parking couldn't be easier! Thank you for the pleasant time :-)

    When we ate here before, the food was better. We had the pear and asiago pockets and the sauce was bland and uninteresting. The benessere salad was better the last time as well. The service was great.

    Our favorite local Italian restaurant that we went with friends too. Excellent meal (including a wonderful zabaglione (sp?) that we discussed with the owner-traditional versus modern preparation-since our friends were experts in traditional) and a very relaxing environment.

    It would have been nicer if a large group of people hadn’t sat down in the room we were in! Noise level was awful. The 3 of us in our party couldn’t carry on a conversation. The person who seated us should have told us a large group was coming in, especially since I had requested a quiet spot. We would not have sat there had we known!
