Date of Reservation Saturday, June 6…read more The Food I'll start with the highlights: the food here was absolutely great. Everything our table ordered was delicious, cooked perfectly, and well-presented. The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing. The Service Unfortunately, the dining experience was really let down by how rushed we felt. Throughout the night, it felt like the front-of-house staff was on a mission to flip our table as fast as possible. Servers were constantly hovering and picking up plates while half of our group was still actively eating. It reached a point where one of my friends was practically interrogated about whether she was finished. They kept coming back to check on her plate so many times that she eventually just gave up, got annoyed, and told them to just take it away before she was even done. It's hard to enjoy great food when you feel like an inconvenience or a timer is ticking down. I'd love to come back for the flavors, but the staff needs to let guests actually breathe and enjoy their meals.

Lucky for us, the sun is shining in January and we were able to sit outside and enjoy some happy…read morehour bites with classic margaritas. The nachos were really good, I wish I had asked for an extra side of salsa because all of the flavor/meat was on the top and the bottom of the bowl was just beans, still delicious but could have used more flavor. The chicken taquitos were also really good! We got 4 margaritas and two food items for $66 before tip, not bad for Napa! I'm not sure if the happy hour time is purely for winter but happy Hour from 11:30am-6pm is a great way to get the locals in!!

My wife and I spent the weekend in Napa doing some wine tasting and decided to have dinner at Scala…read moreOsteria for the first time. What a great experience! We were seated near the chef's table and loved watching the kitchen team in action through the window. We started with a fantastic bottle of Zinfandel , along with a Caesar salad and the Fisherman's Stew both were excellent. The highlight of the evening was the pork chop Milanese entrée that my wife and I shared, served with pasta. It was absolutely amazing and one of the best dishes we've had in a long time. The food, service, our waiter Talani was amazing the atmosphere, and overall experience were all outstanding. If you're visiting downtown Napa, I highly recommend stopping by Scala Osteria. We'll definitely be back

Scala is truly a gem…read more If you take away just one thing from this review, let it be this: order the pork chop! This review comes after my second five-star visit to Scala, and it has firmly earned a spot on my list of must-visit restaurants in Napa. The restaurant is both elegant and inviting, with a beautiful ambiance that has a perfect balance between sophisticated and comfortable. The service has been exceptional on both visits--attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. On each visit, we dined family-style, sharing a salad, an appetizer, a pasta, and, of course, the famous pork chop. Both the chopped salad and Caesar salad were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned for sharing. The Spaghetti with shrimp and clams, along with the Calamari di Monterey pasta, were absolutely outstanding--so much so that I'm still thinking about them days later. And now, the pork chop. I'm not entirely sure what culinary wizardry goes into creating this Pork Chop Milanese, but it is nothing short of extraordinary. The pork is pounded impossibly thin, fried to golden perfection, and coated in a delicately crisp crust that somehow remains light and airy. It's finished with a buttery lemon-caper sauce that adds just the right amount of brightness and richness. It sounds almost absurd to say that fried pork melts in your mouth, but somehow this one does. Every bite is perfectly balanced, SO tender, and honestly unforgettable. I left thoroughly impressed after my first visit, and after my second, I can confidently say this wasn't a fluke. I'll likely find myself returning to Scala every time I'm in Napa until I finally get this pork chop out of my system--which, at this point, may never happen.

We were staying at the Hampton Inn nearby and accidentally stumbled upon Southside Century and what…read morehappy accident! The cauliflower tacos were one of the most amazing dishes we ever had. It honestly had a fish taco texture, but with no fish. We wish this restaurant were nearby us. The restaurant is fast casual, you order at the cashier and then a server delivers your food to you. The service is great, the employees are friendly, offer suggestions, and checkin to make sure everything tastes good. This is a can't miss cafe. If you are in Napa go for breakfast or lunch.

Solid casual spot at the Century Plaza. The outdoor patio works better than it sounds, and the vibe…read moreis relaxed with good energy throughout. We ordered the chilaquiles, protein bowl, and carrot cake. All three landed well: filling, well-seasoned, nothing overdone. The chilaquiles were the standout. Food 4/5. The mocha was the one miss. Forgettable for a place that leans into coffee. Wouldn't reorder it. Counter service (order first, then find a table) keeps things efficient once you know to expect it. Worth a stop in Napa for a casual, satisfying meal. Just manage your coffee expectations.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
