Caffe Riace Palo Alto Reviews from The Last Year
The free bread and the salads were excellent.
They were out of one of the wines and one of the dessert. My wife asked to substitute shrimp for clams in the pasta and uncharge was $6 per shrimp, right per shrimp. She opted for the standard, vongole, which was fine. The main courses were all good, but a bit too oily. Still we had a great time.

If you're going to this place look for Sean! He is the best! Great customer service and he will definitely take care of you. Amazing food as well!
This hidden gem is off the beaten path a few blacks south
This hidden gem is off the beaten path a few blacks south of the popular Calif St in Palo Alto. The most striking thing about this pkace is the charming courtyard as you enter. On a warm evening THIS is where you want to be seated. Just as excellent is the creative Italian cuisine. We had a party of 8, and everyone raved about their entree. Try this place....you won't be disappointed.
Caffe Riace is a terrific find.
It's hidden on a quiet street close to downtown Palo Alto, with dedicated parking right across the street. We hosted a dinner for 10 guests. To a person, everyone was wowed by the evening. The food was nothing short of terrific -- delicious and generous. You could taste the freshness of their ingredients. I'm Italian and have annoyingly high restaurant standards, which Caffe Riace exceeded. The courses just kept coming, all excellent. The servers were knowledgable and very pleasant. It was a great evening we won't soon forget.
I was at Caffe Riace for a group function.
The setting is fantastic. The food was excellent (I had the gnocchi al pesto...delicious, though nobody could possibly surpass my nonna's gnocchi). The service was very good. A delightful experience as a background to a great event. Mille grazie!

The lasagna here is heavenly! We ordered this after it was recommended by the owner and it was fully devoured despite its large size. I also really enjoyed the arancini appetizer. The calamari appetizer was okay, I'd rather eat more arancini or try another app next time. The service was great, we asked to make a pasta dish spicy and were brought a side of a family recipe spicy oil that my husband loved. There's also a beautiful fountain and patio dining area outside if the weather is nice enough.

You know those moments when you want to celebrate, and you also just wanna stay home, but you don't want to cook, and you just want a delicious bowl of pasta? Well, even if you've never quite experienced this range of emotions, lemme tell you about the most magical hidden (if you're not a PA local) gem! Coffee Riace has all the comfort and joy of home (in the way you feel when you are here)- plus great food, great wine, excellent service, and a water feature (what?!?! I've always wanted a backyard fountain ) while still feeling down to earth and so warm and friendly. The humans that work here are happy to be here, and the service is unparalleled because of it. We had the pleasure of meeting Nancy, who was so kind and inviting- careful to check in at every junction. We shared our news and she shared a with us. I love feeling like we are all a part of something bigger. Nico also chatted with us for a while. It feels like community, like family. I cannot wait to come back, hopefully before the next milestone, and hear what's happening with my new friends over glasses of wine and delicious food! Thank you Nancy and Caffe Riacce!
This place has absolutely wonderful outdoor atmosphere.
The music (Big Band) played very much enhanced the romantic environment. As a matter of fact, we loved the music so much we asked the waiter what the name of the CD was. He said he didn't know and was unwilling to find out for us. When we indicated we would like to ask the owner or the restaurant manager, he said they were not there, and that he didn't know if they were going to be there. For the food, we had the beet/farro salad, bruschetta, chicken parmesan and Linguine Tutto Mare. Both the beet salad and bruschetta were delicious. The house-made bread would have been spectacular if not for the big salt crystals sprinkled on top that made the otherwise extraordinary bread too salty. The chicken parmesan and the seafood linguine seemed to share the same basic tomato paste based sauce. The sauce was a big disappointment --- globby thick and muddy, overpowering both the chicken and the seafood. We were expecting fresh tomato sauce for these pasta dishes at such higher end restaurant as Caffe Riace. The fish in the seafood linguine was also overcooked, though seafood amount was generous. A restaurant always feels more pleasant and welcoming when the owner is present. We used to love this restaurant, but things have changed since the owner stopped overseeing the restaurant during hours of operation.
Been coming here for ~23 years.
It used to be 5 stars food & 5 stars ambience. For the last 10 years it's been 2 or 3 stars food and 5 stars ambience. I see the owner responding on Yelp which is great but the responses seem to indicate total denial so I would gladly take a non-response in exchange for truly taking an honest look at this place. It's not that the recipes are bad; it's more that sometimes things seem strange tasting - like an ingredient is old, or meat can be impossibly tough and/or odd tasting. First of all, this place is special to my wife and I which means we will overlook a lot of things because we want this to be a place that we go back to; but I don't think I'll get her to go back anymore as we've been PO'd at this place enough times over a course of ~10 years that we can't see anything changing. We went from regulars to having a series of bad experiences (with the food) and just not wanting to go. After a few years, we tried it again recently but her dish was un-edible and some elements of the entire meal were off. Her comment during our last visit was, "maybe in another 3 years". In the early 00's the food was fresh, I brought co-workers for lunch, friends for dinner - even my Sicilian mother - this is the only place I've ever taken my mother outside of NY. My wife and I had some great dinners there and it was typically busy. We thought it had changed ownership some years ago because it went downhill so badly but when I asked the waiter a couple of months ago he went on and on about how it's all the same and they are busy and doing great. ...Really? What we started to experience: There is rarely more than 2 other parties while we are there. Food quality is up and down and we've had some bad meals - and some good ones but we just can't trust it at this point. One day, no one showed up for work except the cook who was very embarrassed and tried to help us but it was a disaster (and it was on a special day - her birthday or our anniversary or something like that and we ended up at a burger place all dressed up that night). After our last meal where we had spotty food quality, we started thinking of those places where they do such little business that you start to imagine an episode of Restaurant Impossible or Kitchen Nightmares back there. Sitting at this place is pure joy though. It's a wonderful place to be. But if it turned into a Chipotle we'd enjoy it more, unfortunately.
Best home cooked style Italian food from Sisley.
Family owned and run. I watched them build this place then came on opening nite. The foods amazing as well as the family! Craig
Not cooked as I asked for…twice
Lovely outdoor patio. I specifically asked for my salmon to be cooked “very, very well done. When it arrived, It was rare inside. I sent it back and reiterated I wanted it cooked “very, very well done. When it was served a second time, it was still pale pink/orange inside and certainly not even well done. The waitress never came to ask if it was cooked to My satisfaction nor were our water glasses refilled. We were the only diners on patio (another couple came right before we left) and there was maybe one table occupied inside. Very slow service. We left restaurant at 7:15 pm on a Friday night.and it was empty.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
