Caffe Riace

Caffe Riace, a robust Palo Alto trattoria, offers conviviality, homemade specialties and family-style warmth. One of many fine restaurants in the California Avenue section of Palo Alto, Riace is family-run. Every dish is made with honest expertise. No tricky trendiness here, just the same good old fashioned recipies mom and dad follow at home. Caffe Riace is also a perfect venue for wedding receptions, business meetings, graduations and other special events. If you're looking for an intimate dining experience, we offer private dining rooms, at no extra cost, that accommodate up to 20 guests. Our patio can host up to 200 guests and is a wonderful venue for warm weather events of any kind!

Our private dining accommodations at Caffe Riace consist of three separate private dining rooms with their own private entrance, distinctly appointed with Italian murals, luxuriously carpeted throughout. We also boast an exclusive Italian-style piazza, that boasts a grand circular fountain, coupled with bronze roman statues to stand guard over its valued patrons. The 3 indoor private spaces can seat from 10 to 35 guests respectively. The outdoor piazza can accommodate up to 200 guests, or can subdivide into many different sized configurations, for private or semi-private events as well.

Together, these combined spaces can be utilized to seat up to about 250 guests for a complete buyout of the restaurant. Enveloped in a sumptuous Sicilian-style setting, our unique private dining accommodations at Caffe Riace take in the beauty of the restaurant, while at the same time allowing for privacy, without the confinement of a simple four-walled banquet environment.  Come and enjoy Riace!
