CHE FICO PARCO MENLO

Menlo Park, CA

Stanton Architecture worked with award-winning designer Jon De la Cruz to create an indoor-outdoor experience characteristic of Menlo Park’s Springline development, and in the spirit of Italian al fresco dining.

This high-end facility includes an extra-large kitchen, and a separate display kitchen with pizza oven. The private dining room and outdoor patio, shaded by an integrated and operable canopy, expand upon the main seating areas and offer a variety of warm gathering spaces.

Finished in a rich tapestry of pattern and texture, this premier restaurant transports clientele through a dining experience that is as manicured as its menu.
