As we had arrived in Napa after a two hour drive, we didn't check into our hotel yet; we wanted a…read moremeal that was satisfying and also fulfilling. Luckily, we had parked downtown and we walked around and stumbled across Scala Osteria. We were greeted by the host at the front, unfortunately, we didn't have a reservation in advance, we would not able to get a table or booth for dining. The only option available was dining at the bar so we chose to dine at the bar. After being seated, we were given menus and water; we chose to dine family style and ordered a few entrees to share. The oysters were very good, the best that I've had, one of my favorites. The side order of fries were fresh and crispy and pairs well with the ketchup and cheese sauce, so delicious. The entrees: the halibut (very soft and delicious), the spaghetti with shrimp and clams (big portion and very delicious and fulfilling), and lastly, the lasagna (the meat was very dry, but the lasagna tasted very cheesy. Unfortunately, the lasagna was my least favorite). Overall, the ambiance is very cozy and inviting. I did enjoy my meal with the exception of the lasagna; I would be open to dining here again in the future and trying something new and also trying desert next time. Scala Osteria is a lovely gem in Napa; would definitely recommend to others!

Bottega is a restaurant located in Yountville that offers Italian food with inspiration from Napa…read moreValley. There's an open kitchen with a lot of space but still has a mixture of upscale and casual interior vibes. This restaurant was one of the only places I found in the area to have reservations for a party of 10 online without needing to call or do a pre-fixe menu. We got here right at our reservation time and were seated at a long table. What I liked were the tagliarini bolognese al centro ($32) and the wagyu polpette ($25). The calamari ($25) was decent and the patatine fritte e tartufo ($16) had big portions but could've used a little salt. The carbonara ($30) was cooked al dente and while we took the suggestion from the server we would've preferred a bit softer. It was a solid and reliable dinner spot that is good for celebratory meals.

The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. I shared the Calamari Fritti with my wife. It was crispy and cooked well, but the flavor was just average. I'd give it a 3/5. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the standout of the meal. The Brasato di Manzo (braised short rib) was excellent and was the days special. It was fork-tender, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. The presentation was beautiful, and the broccolini was a great side that balanced the richness of the dish. Overall, we had a really good experience and enjoyed celebrating a special occasion here. I'd definitely come back, and I'd absolutely order the Brasato di Manzo again.

We were in Napa around lunch time and used Yelp to find a new place. Il Posto Trattoria looked…read morereally good. The restaurant is a smallish place with indoor and outdoor seating. We were promptly seated and served water. They offer a pretty comprehensive menu. We decided to order their Margherita pizza (along with a serving of their garlic bread) adding pepperoni, mushrooms and olives to 1/2 of it. Of course I ordered an Italian beer to go with it. The pizza was delicious and I mean delicious! There were leaves of fresh basil on the pizza. The basil wasn't baked with the pizza so it was the freshness which really set it off. The garlic bread was tasty as well using mozzarella on it. Our server, Teresa, was a jewel and right on top of things, along with another girl who I didn't get her name. All in all a very nice experience. We will return and try some of the other dishes that looked so good.

The decor is very cute and I like how all the record albums are all over the restaurant. 5/5 for service and food!! Lots of parking in lot too. -Marshay D.

They suggested this restaurant located right inside the resort, and what a fantastic recommendation it turned out to be! This farm-to-table Italian restaurant truly impressed me with the quality of its food, drinks, and overall dining experience. As a vegetarian, I was delighted by the extensive selection of vegetarian and vegan options available. The staff and chef were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the menu. Taking the chef's recommendations, I ordered their freshly made truffle vegetarian pizza, a large Italian salad, crispy artichokes, rigatoni, truffle fries, and tiramisu for dessert. Every single dish was prepared to perfection and absolutely delicious. The ambiance is equally impressive. It's the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with friends and family. The outdoor seating area offers beautiful views, and the cozy fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food, great service, and a memorable dining experience. Definitely worth a visit!

I also had a side salad, crisp greens and lotsa extra stuff, so good. We had the garlic bread, cheesy, garlicky and buttery. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs and a sausage, he was surprised at the size of the meatball, huge. Had a glass of their house blush wine, also very good. All in all, an excellent dining experience. Just as I remembered. Like Arnold said, "I'll be back" (you read that like the Terminator ) P.S. there were no leftovers

As my wife and I frequent the Oxbow Market, we kept eyeing this charming restaurant directly across…read morethe street from the market. Today, we decided to give it a try. It definitely has old world Italian charm with wine bottles hanging from the ceiling and dimly lit decor. We were there for a late afternoon lunch. I ordered an 8" combo pizza and my wife had the soup and salad lunch special. The salad (Caesar) was fresh with just the right amount of dressing and fresh grated parmigiana. Delicious without being drowned. The soup was hearty and well seasoned. My wife loved it so much we ordered a quart to go. That is saying a lot as she is not a huge fan of Italian cuisine. Now, I am kind of a pizza snob so, my expectations weren't that high. Wow! Was I wrong! The crust was crisp with a soft center. The sauce was perfect, not too much or too little, just right. It was a delicious pie. The perfect ratio between toppings, sauce and a crust that doesn't flop. Service was fast and friendly. If you are in Napa and looking for a really good meal that won't max out your credit card, this is the place. Oxbow is a neat place to visit, but the prices are in my opinion, extremely high. Try this place for reasonable, affordable and delicious Italian food.

We've been here several times over the years and have always enjoyed the consistently excellent Italian cuisine and outstanding pizzas. They have more than 20 varieties of house-made salumi and fresh handmade pasta . And whenever you see a blazing brick pizza oven, it's usually a good sign that pizza will be on our table. My go-to pizza is the Funghi, topped with crema, Manchego cheese, cremini mushrooms, caramelized onions, and parsley. The crust is beautifully blistered and crisp, yet still has a wonderful toothsome, chewy texture. Another favorite is the Fidei all'Arrabbiata, featuring San Marzano tomatoes, onion, chili, and pangrattato. This classic Roman pasta dish is tossed in a fiery "angry" tomato sauce, earning its name from the kick of fresh or dried red chilies infused in olive oil. Simple, bold, and packed with flavor. The portion is generous enough for two. We'll definitely be back! Happy eating!! 49
