"There were 5 of us for dinner .. every appetizer and entree was genuinely excellent ... Tuscan Kale Salad, Fritto Misto .. special Garlic Shrimp ... Forest Mushroom Risotto, Squid Ink Spaghetti, Branzino, King Salmon and Glazed Short Rib. We also particularly liked the nicely sized round table that allows you to visit and converse with everyone easily."

"Fabulous dinner at Cetrella! Started with the fish crudo - fresh, delicate, delicious! Husband ordered the Squid Ink pasta with prawns & octopus, and he's still raving that it was the best pasta dish he's had. I ordered the mushroom risotto which was perfectly done, with a very generous variety of mushrooms."

"Cetrella is the best restaurant from Atherton/Menlo Park/Palo Alto/Los Altos/Sunnyvale. My branzino last night was as if freshly caught that day, the salmon was perfectly cooked, and they make a splendid affogato for dessert. Also a great place to people watch the Silicon Valley illuminati."
