Valentine's menu really exceeded expectations. Five course menu with a few choices for each course. Salmon was perfectly cooked with slight crust and a little pink in the middle. Scallops also with the really tasty crust.

Slightly pricey but food is delicious, service is friendly and plenty of options across grilled food, plated entrees, pizza, pasta, and more. Server was knowledgeable on what was gluten free, which was virtually all the entrees, and the desserts included a flourless chocolate cake. COVID...Read More

I have to say, that this was by far the most delicious meal I have had in so long, I can't remember a better one!

Dine inDinner$50–100Atmosphere: 5Forest Mushroom RisottoHighly recommendThere were enough vegetarian options to choose from. Nothing is labeled though. The kale salad with pomegranate and persimmon was delicious. The photo shows a half portion as I split it with my mother.

I love Cetrella because they have excellent food, but they also have a “simply grilled” menu that makes life much easier given my family’s dietary restrictions. This is my go-to place in Los Altos for salmon and steak, and I love their desserts too!

Love the new tapas options - the lamb meatballs were outstanding. I’m a light eater so these worked as a main for me after a salad starter. My partner had the short ribs and said the dish was delicious. Great wine list.
