"...the handsome setting could pass for an upscale restaurant in San Francisco. Yet whenever I think of Carpaccio, the six year old Italian draw in Menlo Park, I think first of a colorful dynamo working the dinning room like a smooth politician, I think of Ciya Martorana."

"From a wine list long on Californian and Italian vintages - the grappa list is also impressive, for those of you who don't have to think about driving - we chose a big , friendly Chianti, with which we toasted our long-overdue rendezvous.
Ordering food is a far greater ordeal, given the lengthy listing of pizzas, pastas, salads, and seafoods."

"Carpaccio in Menlo Park, is a restaurant that offers value with soft lights and a party like buzz in the air, the ambiance teeters between romantic and festive."
Maria Cranci November 17 ,1995
