Great place! My mom and I got dinner here before seeing a show at the Uptown Theater. There's a…read moreparking garage nearby, as well as several surface lots and street parking. We parked between the theater and the restaurant, so it was only about a two-block walk for us and that was fine. When first walking in, it's a little dark inside, but that led to the ambience. It was also a little on the loud side, but not annoyingly so. It felt like a great place for a group of friends to come and get some food and drinks. I was excited to try the drinks--i started with La Guapa which I loved!! It wasn't too sweet, and not spicy either, despite the jalapeno. I followed it up with La Rosa.I typically love prickly pear margaritas, but this one was a little too sweet for me (but still good). The chips and salsa to start were great, nice and crispy. I had the green enchiladas for my entree and thoroughly enjoyed it. My mom just went with a chicken quesadilla and also enjoyed hers. For dessert, we had flan. Overall, it was a really nice dinner with good service!

I came to Napa for the weekend for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon…read more On Sunday after finishing the race, resting, and freshening up I needed a late lunch/dinner. Ended up being more dinner than lunch. I was walking all around downtown Napa looking at options and then looking them up on Yelp and just not really finding what I was looking for. After a while comfort food was on my mind and Los Agaves delivered. I always order chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. I feel you can usually tell how good the food will be if they have really good chips and fresh salsa. The chips were delicious, salted just right and super crunchy. They honestly tasted like the chips my mom and grandma would make. They were super fresh as if they were made that day or recently. The salsa was soooo good. Has a little bit of heat at the back of the mouth once you take a bite. The cilantro comes through and offers fresh herbiness. And there is a hint of Smokeiness to the salsa as well. It's well balanced and you can actually taste each ingredient. I also love the consistency little chunks of onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro but still a little liquidy so you can dip. I also ordered the Los Agaves cocktail (tequila, lime, cucumber, agave, and ube. I didn't really notice the ube flavor but it added beautiful color. The cucumber comes through. The tequila is also present , no watered down drinks here. :) I couldn't decide between steak or chicken tacos and my waitress said how about both? Sold. The meal was excellent. The tacos are fully loaded with meat, they don't skimp. But the real show stopper is the steak taco. It was so tender and flavor full. I ordered it without the cheese and I'm glad I did because it's the star of the dish all on its own. The rice and beans were lovely too, flavor yet light. The whole meal was exactly what I needed to recharge. I think one of the best things is this meal is light yet fulfilling. You don't feel bloated, overly full, or heavy. It's not greasy. It's refreshing. Thank you so much for the perfect post race meal!

Scala Osteria is such a charming spot! From the moment you walk in, you can tell a lot of thought…read morewent into the design. I loved the open kitchen concept--you get to watch the chefs in action--and even the bathrooms have unique details that make the whole restaurant feel special. Everything we ordered was delicious. The special of the day was shishito peppers with a balsamic glaze, and they were absolutely incredible. Sweet, savory, and perfectly blistered--I could have ordered another plate just for myself. The calamari was another standout. It was light, crispy, and fresh with a delicate batter instead of the heavy coating you often find elsewhere. We also ordered the Pork Chop Milanese, which was a generous portion and easily shareable. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of my favorite dishes of the meal. The Ravioli al Limone was rich, creamy, and full of bright lemon flavor--definitely a must-order if you love fresh pasta. A few friends at our table have been on an Italian food kick lately and ordered the chicken, and it exceeded everyone's expectations. It was juicy, well-seasoned, and definitely not an afterthought on the menu. And of course, the pizza was a huge hit with the kids. It's always nice when a restaurant can make both the adults and little ones happy. The cocktails were just as impressive as the food--beautifully crafted, refreshing, and every drink we ordered was excellent. We dined with kids, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, seating us in a comfortable corner that made the experience much more relaxing. The service throughout the evening was warm, attentive, and never rushed. Between the inviting atmosphere, fantastic food, great drinks, and thoughtful service, Scala Osteria absolutely earns 5 stars. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend!

I love Italian food and what other place to book than Scala for my birthday dinner. The place was…read morepacked when we went in signs that we really did pick the right place. The vibe was fun and inviting, all the beautiful lights made the ambiance lively! Here's what we ordered for party of 3: Ravioli al limone $34 (5/5) This dish was also recommended by our sommelier earlier today and it was truly delishjous. 6 Creamy raviolis in a light lemon cream sauce, not too rich but really melted in our mouth Lasagna $34 (5/5) I'm a sucker for lasagna, anything gooey, creamy and layered with bolognese sauce. This was done right. Pan seared branzino $38 (4/5) This was good too lightly seared light fish with some veggies on the sides Ciabattina & bagna cauda $6 (5/5) Crispy warm loaf with this anchovy butter. It's liquid anchovy butter so more dunk-able than spreadable. Zeppole $15 (5/5) Can't go wrong with ending the night with warm Italian donuts with chocolate sauce and cream sides. Dessert since it was my birthday they gave me a scoop of a fruity ice-cream with a candle on top. It was a really nice gesture. The service was great and the food was amazing! I would definitely come back to try the other dishes! The 3 of us were stuffed happy!

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.

I had breakfast here on a Friday. The staff that helped me were very friendly and helpful. I…read moreordered a cardamom vanilla latte and the Tostada Rancheros con Carnitas. The latte was really good, the punchy cardamom (which I love) and the vanilla are a great combo, which is probably not for those who don't like to taste the spice, it is very spice forward. The Tostada Rancheros con Carnitas was also pretty good with savory and small sweet notes throughout, I just felt it was missing some depth; but for how quickly it arrived and how fresh it was, it was good. The ambiance is great, comfortable with a nuetral-toned landscape and a vinyl record player going I felt welcome right away. My table was wobbly despite the feet being flat as the tabletop itself seemed to be loose which made it a bit challenging to cut and eat my food without fear of my plate or latte accidentally tipping over. Overall I definitely recommend Southside.
