We had a lovely lunch here after an early wine tasting in town, and the food was delicious. We ordered the charcuterie prosciutto plate and a pepperoni pizza -- everything tasted great. We were seated by the window with a beautiful city view, which made the experience even nicer. Our waiter was wonderful -- attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for making our visit enjoyable and tasty. read more

Oenotri is a small restaurant in downtown Napa with the entranced tucked away inside a courtyard. There is a small bar tucked away in the corner should you want to come in and sit at the bar instead of main dining area. We ate here several years ago and decided to dine at a familiar spot our first night in town. We arrived and our hostess and server Devany seated us. Devany was very sweet and attentive and always had a smile in her face. Even though there was a large party sat next to us, it was not too loud in the restaurant, even though a small venue and we were able to carry on a nice conversation. For the table, we ordered the Mixed lettuces with my Meyer lemon vinaigrette & parmigiana- reggiano cheese. Although very simple, this was very tasty and quite refreshing. We also ordered the Margarita Pizza. Thin crust with san marzano tomatoes, four de latte and basil. I'm torn on this one. It was good but already cold when served. I feel $30 is much too expensive for a small pizza such as this. The Crecenza polenta was delicious. Creamy and flavorful. This is a good option for a starter dish for the table. I ordered the Pappardelle- Braised beef, cremini mushrooms, garlic, onions, red wine. This was very good and a generous portion. Overall we had a nice dining experience and will return. read more

I must admit ... I've tried a handful of restaurants in Napa and none of them really blew my mind. We've been to Italian restaurants we just randomly looked up on Yelp and they have been kind of disappointing for the most part. I made another trip up here for a little solo staycation for my friends birthday, and didn't really have plans for dinner. This restaurant was close to my hotel and conveniently located in downtown Napa so I decided to give it a shot. Initially, when I walked in, they told me that they were fully booked (including the bar). Just before I was about to leave, someone came up to me and told me they could clear up the chefs counter for me, which was amazing! I had the sweetest server who was constantly checking up on me, and even gave me a taste of their Calabrian chili because I said I liked spice. Once I took a look at the menu, I instantly knew what I wanted - the beef papardelle with mushrooms. It came out piping hot, a good portion, noodles were cooked perfectly, and it was incredibly tasty. I would 100% come back again for that pasta, and ++ for a delicious extra dirty martini as well! read more

This evening I tried the linguine and shrimp, I was not pleased by it at all. It tasted very buttery. I probably would not recommend this pasta. I'm a little disappointed. read more

Had lunch here with several girlfriends during a ladies weekend... Pros- food. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty. Their pizza is perfectly made, I didn't order it, but wish I had (next time!) I had a small slice from a friend and enjoyed every bite! I ordered their steak which was cooked to my desired temperature (medium rare) and also very delicious. Service was also great! A little confusing since we had the two brothers....luckily they wore two different shirts, but their resemblance at first confused me (I'm slow!)! And the person who made the pizzas, she may have been the chef, she was hilarious!! She came over to check on us several times and had us laughing each time! Cons- I can't think of any... read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Oenotri. First of all we had the focaccia bread with one of the best olive oil I have ever tasted - and I was in Italy a few months ago. We had a party of 5 with a reservation and were seated promptly and had fully attentive and friendly service. For food I had the busa pasta which was delicious, my wife had the halibut which she loved, and my daughter had a vegan pizza which she claims is one of the best she ever had. What a great experience! read more

Lovely Italian place for dinner while staying in Napa, definitely make a reservation in case they are busy - the restaurant was almost full when we arrived (their entrance is confusingly located inside the alley, not facing the main street, which we missed the first loop around). I really enjoyed the beet salad, but I just wish it was slightly larger for the price. That aside, all the pasta and pizza dishes sounded good so we had a hard time deciding what to get - ultimately, we opted for the formaggi pizza and added pancetta, and the special pasta of the day which was a ragu lasagna. The pizza won out for us over the lasagna, but the pizza was also a tad on the expensive side for the portion ($38). The lasagna was fine, but felt a bit basic for $25. Service was good, nothing fancy but they were attentive for how busy they were. All in all, we enjoyed the meal and would come back. Given they are located downtown, look for street parking, or for a spot in the public lots which are all walkable within a few blocks. read more

Delicious pasta in a great spot! Everything here is a good choice, and the pasta is fresh and delicious. We shared two appetizers and three pastas between three people and came home with leftovers. Portions are a good size, and we each had a different favorite pasta so you really can't go wrong. They were swamped when we got there, but our server was apologetic and was clearly working hard to attend to everyone. I would absolutely come back! read more

This was one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Napa, especially because we usually stay at the Andaz across the street. Last night the dinner service seemed off though. It took over an hour to get our pasta (arrabiata) and the simple salad came to the table only shortly before that. We were considering just getting the check as our server arrived with new plates and silverware and we jokingly double checked we still had food coming. The tables around us, larger parties that sat well after us, received their dishes before we did. The server did take off a glass of wine that I ordered in the beginning and did not prefer, which was nice considering it was my fault and not due to her recommendation. Overall, however, the service was not that friendly. read more

The quality of the food is ok, but the portion is very small. They rushed you through the order process and the service isn't good!

Was in the area for the day and we found this place on Yelp so we made a reservation just in case it was busy on the weekend. We arrived early and it was busy so they sat us down right away. Our waitress came over right away, gave us some waters, and took are drink orders. We ordered some wine from a couple local wineries and they both were good. Our main dishes were the Cresta Di Gallo, Trumpetti Pork Rago, and the Pancetta Wrapped Rabbit. All of our dishes were cooked great, nice flavor, noodles were al denti, the rabbit was tender, and the rago was delicious as well. The service was great regardless of the restaurant not being busy. Our desert was also delicious. I forgot the name of our desert, sorry. read more

Visiting Napa on a Wednesday no real plans for dinner. Found ourselves downtown so went to our go to Oenotri. For a weeknight it was fairly busy but not full. Service was good but nothing memorable. Jeremiah was fairly attentive but was busy with a bigger table. Our food arrived within a reasonable time and temperature appropriate. Their pasta was spot on the brussels sprouts were outstanding. I'd highly recommend them. After we completed dinner, we had to wait an unreasonable time for them to clear the plates and I had to ask for the check. After asking I still Waited a bit before receiving the check. All and all a good experience and a good choice for your pasta and pizza needs. read more

I absolutely had high hopes for Oenotri but sadly, disappointed with food and service. Let me start with the two star rating. One is for the mixed green salad that had flavor and the other for our busser not waiter who was attentive in getting us waters and providing a bucket of ice for our wine. That's the two generous stars for this restaurant. With open table app, I was able to get a reservation for four with no problem. However, the service is lacking. Poor Jeremiah seemed like he had all the tables to himself and we did not get the attention we need. The appetizers came quick but the entrees took a while. Inconsistent to say the least. Now the food. Pizza prices are $30 for super thin 12 inch with so so taste. The linguini, forget it. Don't even order as it was bland, no flavor at all. It's pasta with cream sauce and maybe 6 pcs of mussels. It's tough for me to go back. There's a lot more options in Napa and this place should be skipped. read more

Went with friends from out of town. Ordered the polenta and the charcuterie board appetizer to share. The polenta was light, fluffy and heavenly. The charcuterie board was well loaded with different meats, cheeses, nuts and crackers. Everyone ordered pasta and I chose the burrata appetizer. Oh so yummy! Definitely a visit if you're here on vacation or as a local. Their pizza is also really good. Service is always great. read more

Came here for dinner based on a friend's suggestion who heard that the cast of the film Wine Country ate here while filming in the area. We made a reservation in advance (for dinner on a Saturday night), and it's good that we did, because it was pretty full when we arrived. The restaurant is spacious and a bit on the dimmer side, but there's nice natural light that comes in. I really enjoyed the Focaccia Classica (accompanied with olive oil). We also ordered the Mixed Lettuces salad, which honestly kind of just tasted like a Caesar salad but with a meyer lemon vinaigrette dressing. For my main, I ordered the Fidei all'Arrabbiata which was good but definitely spicy. I also tried a bit of the Cavatappi pasta (with clams) which was good as well! All in all, a pretty solid place for Italian food in Napa. read more

We started our dinner with an order of Focaccia with olive oil and the meatballs. Both were really good. I had the ragu and my husband had the shrimp ravioli. My portion was plenty but the ravioli was a little lean. He got 3 ravioli's and 3 med shrimp. We were glad we started with apps or we would have had to hit a drive thru. Service was attentive and very nice. The ambience was chill and a nice place for a date night. read more

Food was good, if a bit salty. Problem was the service. We were there with our two young kids and let them know we needed their food fast. After a bit we asked for an update. Their printer broke so they needed to put the order in again. Waited more, asked for another update. Finally the kids' and my food comes out. My wife's is missing though. We give them a few more minutes and then ask again. The waiter had clearly forgotten it entirely. By the time that comes out everyone else had finished which is never a good experience. All of this could have been excused except that no one ever checked in on us, we were always the ones asking. And when a waiter did talk to us we never felt heard. We got passive aggressive statements like "I have to be able to go to the kitchen to fix this". Both servers we flagged down were like this. No good apology. No follow ups. Supposedly the manager was told but no manager came to talk to us. Good service is about listening to and hearing your customers. read more

good wine, good vibes and good food! would say the pesto pasta was better off without the pancetta (cause it felt like burnt bacon) but the burrito was sooo fresh and exactly the appetizer you need for summers in Napa! meatballs too were yummy and warm. dessert was decadent and beautifully presented! read more

We had dinner at Oenotri in downtown Napa, and overall it was an excellent experience with a couple of standout dishes that really impressed us. The Trumpetti Ragù was absolutely outstanding -- rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pasta's texture was spot-on, and the sauce clung beautifully to each bite -- easily one of the best dishes we've had in Napa. My wife had the Porchetta alla Diavolo, which unfortunately didn't live up to the rest. The pancetta was soggy and overly fatty, missing that crispness that gives porchetta its signature contrast. The flavors were fine, but the texture really missed the mark. We ended on a high note with the Chocolate Panna Cotta paired with a Moscadello di Montalcino -- silky, bittersweet, and perfectly balanced. The hazelnut cookie added just the right amount of crunch and nuttiness, and the wine pairing elevated the chocolate beautifully. Service was warm, though delayed, and the ambiance was relaxed. read more

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday. We wanted to try out a place we hadn't been. It was a quiet night so we were seated right away, it took a few minutes for our server to come to the table. The menu is small which can be good if you don't want to be overloaded by choices. We got the focaccia with olive oil and the cheese pizza for the table. The focaccia was tasty, the pizza was meh. For the price I was hoping it would be more. It was on the thin side and lacked flavor. The entrees were ok but again for the price I wish there was more. It wasn't a terrible experience but we aren't in a hurry to come back. read more

This is a great restaurant to come to if you have a show later at the Uptown Theater (which we did!). It's very close by. We started with the meatballs, carpaccio, and focaccia. All were fantastic. The wines by the glass were okay - I wasn't a fan of the whites list and I didn't really like the cocktail list. Disappointing. But they had a nice bar so I imagine they could make whatever you wanted. For mains we had two pastas - the Busa, the one with the pork ragu, and then two pizzas (a margherhita and a margherhita with calabrian chilies). The pastas were awesome. They LOVED them. The pizza was meh. I didn't even bring home the leftovers. We liked a lot of what they had and we would definitely return - just not for the pizza. read more

Overall, the experience was "just fine". We had a 5:15pm reservation and were the only people there when we arrived. We asked to sit by the window but were sat nearby but not by the window per se which was kind of odd. Our waitress wasn't very warm upon greeting us and with how expensive everything was ($30 for a margarita pizza that one person could eat themselves), it was not the best experience. Maybe it was an off day for the waitress, but the vibe didn't seem to match the quality. read more

Great spot for dinner with friends We had a party of 5 and were seated promptly. Nice table and although busy we had good service. Started with the shishito peppers and the charcuterie. Peppers weee terrific. Some heat and a combo of red and green. The platter was a little sparse and has a couple of mortadella pieces good salami and a few pieces of cheese. Ok but. It great. Although the truffle cheese was delicious We also had the lettuce salad and it was lightly dressed and refreshing. Scallops were enjoyed by all. I tried the tomatoes and the corn - it was creamy and fresh. Good crunch and delicious. We share a margarita pizza. Nice tomato and as pizza should be - thin crust! The pastas were the Arabiata and the pappardelle with ragu. Both had a lot of flavor and pasta was cooked perfectly. The tomato was plentiful in the arabiatta. Well flavored. Ragu was good - mushrooms and pork worked well together. Overall a good experience. We will return. read more

Always a great experience here! I really wanted to try the arancini but they had just ran out, so I opted for the chicory salad instead and it was a great balance of hazelnut and pear and the vinaigrette paired very well.

Oenotri has a fantastic location in downtown Napa, right in the heart of everything. We grabbed dinner here before catching a show at the Uptown Theater, which is only a couple blocks away. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, a family gathering or a nice meal out with friends. My husband and I decided to split a pizza so we wouldn't have to carry leftovers with us to our show. We split the fico pizza with the thinnest slices of smoked ham I've ever seen, figs, cheese, walnuts and balsamic. Soooo good. I'm selfishly writing this review so I can remember what to order again next time! The portion size was perfect for two people to share. We paired our dinner with wine by the glass. I ordered the 2021 pelaverga from an Italian winery called Castello di Verduno. It smelled deliciously of strawberries. My husband got a 2015 cab from Calistoga's Clandestine. Both were good but I liked the Clandestine cab slightly more because it was just so jammy and drinkable. read more

I came here with my friends for a bachelorette party, and it was the worst experience I have had in Napa! We waited 30 minutes for someone to take our drink order. When someone finally greets us, she explicitly said "I am not your server." It took over 20 minutes to get plates and bread. We spoke with the manager and his excuse was they only had two waitresses that night. (Not our problem) I would not recommend coming here. Overpriced food with awful service. There was no service recovery. It is poorly rated at 3.8 for a reason. read more
