    The food is delicious- especially the pasta & carpaccio. The outside terrace upstairs is delightful on a summer evening. And, the wait staff friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Trellis !

    Trellis is our "go-to" restaurant if we want a casual nice dinner out. We always select the rooftop dining, and we typically go early before the restaurant gets busier. Our server Jaime was outstanding. He was attentive and accommodating without hovering, and he was knowledgeable about the food and wine selections. We started with calamari appetizer and split a Caesar salad. Unless you're extremely hungry, one salad is enough for two people. We were also served warm bread. Neither of us could finish our main entrees, veal piccata and canneloni, not because they weren't good, but because we were full. The veal was tender and piquant with the lemon and capers, served with broccoli, cauliflower and carrot slice, and mashed potatoes. If you are dining early on the rooftop, bring your sunglasses in case your seat faces the setting sun. Despite the shades, there is still a glare. We will definitely return.

    It was my first time there, and I was excited to go to an Italian restaurant I’ve never been to in Menlo Park That was highly rated. Although the ambience was pretty good on the back patio , The waiters didn’t really understand Italian food, the menu, the wine, or the drinks, and after ordering an assortment of Italian food, We realize that this is Italian Food That isn’t bad, It’s just nothing special. I’ve spent a lot of time eating fine Italian food and I really understand Good Italian food. This is a nice place, but not if you’re looking for a really good Italian meal.  I probably will never come back.

    One of my favorite restaurants. Lots of seating so noise level is usually low. Food and service was excellent as usual. Celebrated a special birthday there (had the Petrale Sole) and my wife had pasta (also excellent). Two thumbs up!

    If you like traditional Italian fare, don’t miss Trellis. We have eaten here several times - the food has always been outstanding. This time we sampled the Scampi style shrimp, fettuccine carbonara and filet pepper steak, all of which were excellent. Wait-staff was attentive and professional; all things considered, I highly recommend.

    We either missed the lunch crowd (our reservation was 12:45), or it was a very slow day. I hope the latter is the case, because the food was very good and the restaurant was nearly empty!

    I ordered the linguini with clams and it was so bland. I literally never salt my food, but I had to in this case because it was lacking any taste. Unfortunately, where we were seated this elderly woman was directly behind us by herself. My heart went out to her, but she kept interrupting different tables and talking so loud until she got their attention including ours. I do have to say that the woman that was waiting our table and all the tables surrounding us was very cordial, but you could see that she was overwhelmed and hustling all around where we had to signal her to get our check. We did order dessert, we were just happy to leave.
