First thoughts -- upon entering, very clean and cozy. Very interesting menu and selections. Front staff was very kind and helpful and even shared her recommendations. I appreciated her expertise and patience. Ended up trying the White Rabbit Latte, Caramel Latte and an oatmeal cookie. Wait time was about five minutes. Wonderful quality drinks; exceeded my expectations. Drinks are on the pricier end. $9 each for drinks. The oatmeal cookie was very good, priced at $5. Ended up coming here twice during my stay in Napa. Would definitely return in the future. Drinks are top notch, wonderful service. Very wholesome and cozy ambiance.

We were welcomed warmly with the beverage of our choice (wine, whiskey or water) before the tour.

We learned harvesting olives takes a lot of hard work! Our group bought a few bottles of oil to support as we enjoyed the taste and tour. The owner was so down to earth and friendly and shared our support goes back to investing into the olive trees. Go support this business by buying their evoo!

You can choose to get a few slices of a particular meat, cheese, pate, so you're able to really customize your charcuterie board. Great for portion control too. I got the small charcuterie board, which really highlights what they have to offer. What's unique is that they also offer duck pate! Service is friendly! Outdoor seating only.

We would definitely do another class here. Support small and local businesses, you won't regret it!

Showed up to…read morethe 3:30pm class 10 minutes early and the doors were locked and it looked like no one was inside the building. We tried calling the phone number multiple times and no one picked up. Also, knocked several times. Two other people arrived as well who tried knocking and calling to no avail. We waited until 3:45 until we gave up and left. After we left, we received an email saying we had been refunded and at the bottom of the receipt it said "We apologize as this order did not show up on our calendar until today. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Thank you, Sheana" (see attached screenshot). I think this is deeply unprofessional on so many levels. Even if the reservation had only shown up today on their calendar (despite us booking it several weeks prior) and they weren't prepared, they had all the time before 3pm to reach out via email or phonecall to say they couldn't make the class. They didn't even try reaching out and instead we received a refund after the scheduled class time. Lack of communication is such a bummer considering we set aside a couple hours for this and we were so excited. Also, this is located in Sonoma which means it's out of the way for people who are visiting Napa and its vineyards. That's typically not an issue but considering we had to drive out the way and we got cancelled on after we waited for them is where it is an issue. Deeply unprofessional situation and hope they improve on communication soon.

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!

The other staff " appeared busy" picking things up and putting them back down then up again when you make eye contact. I won't shop here again.

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!

Once the person who got her correct drink tried the greppa kiss, she was completely taken aback! There's alcohol in it, which isnt depicted on the menu at all and the waitress didn't mention this either until we asked. She should have mentioned there's alcohol as we had to drive back. As for the food, I couldn't choose between the gluten free cacio e pepe and the polenta so I got both. They're both very delicious and cheesy. The vegetable ragu was alright
