Trelio Food and Wine may be the best-kept secret in Fresno County. Located in Clovis, California, in historic Old Town Clovis — it is a one-of-a-kind experience in the Central Valley that stacks up against the best restaurants in big cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. The chef sources the highest quality local ingredients making everything from scratch daily, from the sauces to the handmade pasta.

The restaurant has an intimate setting with a select number of tables both in the main restaurant and library. The dining experience is unique to each party. Menus are printed to include the party’s name on the front while taking into consideration any allergies from each guest. Above the bar, there is an extensive selection of wine that’s carefully curated to pair with each meal by the sommelier. The recently launched tasting menu has both a 3-course meal option as well as a 5-course meal option that includes the ability to add a wine pairing for each course.  Let’s dive into the meal.

Starting with the Crab Hush Puppies for the appetizer was the perfect way to kick off the meal — it was off the charts and packed with so much flavor. Perfectly crispy and soft on the inside which paired perfectly with the Calabrian ranch. Next, the Roasted Beet Salad was the first beet forward dish that I truly enjoyed. The dill yogurt dressing was the perfect pairing with this simple, yet delicious dish. For the pasta and grains course, both the Duck Liver and Mascarpone Agnolotti and the Goat Cheese with Dried Tomato Ravioli Lunga stole the show. The agnolotti was like a soft pillow bursting with flavor from the duck liver. As for the ravioli lunga, it’s a dish that’s super unique and the only way I want to eat ravioli going forward because you get the filling with every bite. The fourth course included the Wagyu Steak au Poivre which was everything you’d expect and more. Cooked perfectly medium-rare with light fluffy potatoes to pair along with blanched carrots. For the final course, both the Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding and Flourless Chocolate Torte were a showstopping finale to this incredible meal. The torte was like a deconstructed Snickers bar, it's a must-try.
