    Such a lovely welcome dinner for our first night in Napa. I highly recommend the braised pork belly and the beet salad for appetizers, and the cassoulet and steak-frite for the main course. I didn’t care much for the chocolate cake—I found it a bit dry, but based on the rest of the incredible food we enjoyed, I’m more than happy to come back and try their other desserts. Come eat here for your first night in this beautiful town!

    Tired of just OK food and service?! In the heart of downtown Napa, you’ll find SCALA . . . offering phenomenal food with stellar service, great energetic ambience (without being too loud) and counter seating at the full bar with all their menu offerings . . . not to mention front row/box seats at the Chef‘s counter overlooking the kitchen/crew and pizza oven ~ and don’t forget the oyster bar too . . . We’ve been more times than we care to admit (lol). Some of our favorites include . . . the Veal “Scala-ppini” marsala and mushroom sauce ($36) that will leave you wondering what you’ve been eating at other restaurants . . . to the Pork Chop Milanese lemon, capers and butter sauce ($32) that’s pounded flatter than a pancake, super moist with a slight crunch ~ Note: make sure to ask for extra sauce (on the side) as you’ll want to swim in it . . . we could keep going with the menu items, although we’ll end with their over the top Lasagna (classic) layered with bolognese and bechamel sauces ($32) and whatever you do, do not share or ask anyone if they’d like to try it, as you’ll never see it again.

    Delicious grilled salmon on top of spinach on top of polenta! Crème brûlée not to be missed! We shared the wonderful Napa cabbage salad—they don’t skimp on the bleu cheese in this one and there was plenty of salad . Loved the cheery Christmas music for lunch with my dearest friend. I had some bubbly and she had Sauvignon Blanc. The service and atmosphere was warm and friendly as it always is. I drove from Sonoma to Napa because this is one of my favorite restaurants in wine country.

    Four friends gathered for a holiday celebration and annual reunion - Bistro Don Giovanni was the perfect place. We all dine here individually but this was the first time all together. Our waiter was wonderful as expected and very friendly. The house Don Giovanni red wine perfect. We shared a holiday appetizer and each had a different entree. We will all be back and maybe even together!

    We had the pleasure of dining at Oenotri during our trip to Napa Valley, and it was amazing. The food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their amazing wine selection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with impeccable service that made us feel so welcomed. From start to finish, every detail of our experience was outstanding. They even gave us a complementary glass of champagne to apologize for having us wait for a bit.
