    Service here is phenomenal! They really make you feel tended to and cared for, especially for special occasions like a birthday. Shoutout to Isaiah and Bernie for going above and beyond when taking care of us. The ambiance inside is nice and inviting, with a cool bar setup and neat artwork up on the walls. The food was pretty good! I ordered the Caesar salad which was delicious and the lasagna really hit the spot -- I especially loved how much meat was in the bolognese sauce and the portions sizes were generous for both dishes. They offer a gelato or sorbet for birthdays and I wound up trying the mango sorbet with huckleberry sauce which was not too sweet and a very unique flavor pairing! I'd recommend you check this place out for some good Italian food if you're in Napa, and you should definitely make a reservation to help avoid potential wait times!

    Seasonal fruit oat crisp with vanilla gelato 15

    The service was very friendly here and we liked our waitress. The appetizer of the warm octopus salad was unfortunately two fishy for me. The meat was incredibly soft and melted in my mouth but needed lemon juice to remove the fishiness. The octopus is much better at a restaurant called The Wolf in Oakland for 22. My margarita pizza was pretty good but the cheese was a little too chewy. I think they should use a softer and fresher mozzarella. My husband enjoyed his freshly baked bread with the anchovy butter sauce. Unfortunately the waiter who packed up our bread threw away our anchovy sauce. Make sure you let the waiter know when he wraps up the bread to go. The ciabatta bread is purchased here and not complimentary. My husband really enjoyed his veal main which was incredibly tender. I tried a piece and did not appreciate the cornstarch that I tasted on it. It had a strong wine sauce. The seasonal fruit oatmeal crisp was very sweet and generic tasting to me. It was good but nothing special. I think the food here is overall pretty good but for the price point, it can do a little better. The service was good. I would not recommend the octopus salad here. Everything else was pretty good. One thing to note is that the restaurant plays very loud music and has high ceilings so the patrons talking plus the music playing is overwhelming and not very relaxing. This is a very crowded and loud place. If you're looking for a relaxing and quiet intimate setting, don't come here. Also be careful of the small trash can outside their bathroom which is underneath an order computer screen. People hit their heads on that screen when they get up from throwing away trash beneath it. This restaurant is over filled and has barely any space to move around. Overall a very pretty restaurant with good but not great food. The ambiance is like a fancy factory. A nice place for a business meeting or date but not necessarily a great special occasion restaurant. There's a great deal of loud dusty construction right across the street. Parking is easiest at the public lot across the street. Stop by the Oxbow market to round out your Napa experience afterwards. It only took 10 minutes to walk to the Oxbow market where we also visited the Fatted Calf for more gourmet food to take home for dinner.

    We had an event in Napa and stopped here for dinner, we didn't have reservations but was able to snag a table right away. Small intimate establishment, but ample seating and an impressive bar. I ordered the appetizer, don't remember the name not ok the menu, toast with tomatoes and mozzarella and broccoli, it was very delicious, My dinner was the Spaghetti with shrimp and clams, toasted garlics and wine sauce. This was really good, I've never been to Italy, but this is probably what it may taste like to have pasta there. The flavors all came together beautifully very light and simple. Danny provided great service and so did all of the other staff. I would definitely come back if in the area.

    I chose Scala for another year celebrating my birthday! You just can't resist the cozy indoor vibe with the delicious food that they have! Something that always draws me back is the ambiance. It's homey feeling and chill. I always see people come here in jeans and a sweater or a dress. You can dress up or down, and both feel like they match the vibe. For appetizers: We ordered west and east coast oysters. I love the vinegar sauce they have for the oysters and that you can order just a few as a small appetizer. The Ciabattina bread came with some kind of olive oil butter that had puree'd anchovies at the bottom of the dip that I was not expecting but was honestly a flavor bomb in your mouth. We loved this dish and it was only $6. The Olive Fritte is my favorite appetizer in the Napa valley. I come here for their speciality at this. It's a fried olive that is crispy and flaky on the outside, Stuffed with a puree anchovy and served hot! It's crispy, warm and salty. If you love olives, this is a must try. I tell everyone to order this and I always contemplate ordering one to go for myself. It's served with almonds and rosemary and when you eat the fresh rosemary with the almonds, it really completes the flavor profile. The calamari is also crispy and the breading is light and airy which adds to the texture and taste. The sauce it comes with really compliments the calamari and you can't forget to squeeze the lemon on top! For drinks: I ordered the Smoky Paloma which was smoky and delicious and my boyfriend ordered the buffalo trace Bourbon and he loved that. For our mains: I ordered the Pasta Special with Porcini mushrooms and truffle. It was delicious, the sauce was creamy and looked like a vodka sauce and came in a generous portion. I ordered a white wine to go with it per the servers recommendation. My boyfriend ordered the lasagna which is so delicious!! The meat sauce really packs some flavor in it and it truly elevates this classic comfort food! For dessert: I had my eye on the fruit crisp and ordered that one! For my birthday, they put a candle in it and I wished for more. It was served hot like an apple crisp but with stewed fruit and apple pieces. It had an oatmeal/sugary top with a scoop of ice cream to really melt into your mouth. My boyfriend ordered the zeppole donuts which are also served hot, fresh out of the oven and with two delicious sauces. A chocolate sauce and a vanilla lemon sauce. This is a place you don't want to skip on dessert! Overall, the food here is lovely. I have always seen the same servers here for years so that also tells you they seem to enjoy working here. Scala continues to stand out and even on a rainy evening, people were waiting to get a seat at the bar!

    pan-aeared branzino

    Our family of 4 stopped by Scala last minute to try to get dinner on a Friday night around 6pm without a reservation and told it would be an hour wait, which we were fine with, but got a text almost immediately after leaving the store and were lucky to grab a table that happened to open up! Scala is a classy and pretty restaurant, and we were lucky to get a table upstairs which was more quiet. Wwe ordered the chopped salad to start, which was lighter on the actual greens than we hopped, but we did enjoy the pickled mushrooms. The mushroom pizza was probably the standout dish of the night, with a nice thin, crisp crust, and the perfect amount of mushroom, cheese and arugula ontop, light with great salty and umami flavor. The clams were decent but not too special, and the calamarata con calamari di Monterey pasta we got had a generous amount of squid, with perfectly al dente pasta, but was lacking a bit in flavor. The branzino had an excellent crisp on the skin, but the fish itself and the sauce were again not too flavorful or memorable. The panna cotta was solid and tasty to end the meal. Overall, Scala is a nice restaurant with an upscale abiance that offers some nice dishes that just barely missed the mark in flavor for us. I would recommend and come back for the pizza, but with how busy they are I'm not sure I'll go out of my way to be back just for that.

    The service was outstanding! We had an amazing view of the restaurant in the upstairs seating area with a fantastic waiter from MI too!! The food at Scala was phenomenal! Drinks exceeded expectations and one of the most amazing dinner spots in Napa! Came recommended and didn't disappoint.

    Spaghetti con gamberi & vongole
    Angela O.

    Getting a dinner reservation at this gem? Not so easy, honey. Reservations fill up faster than a bread basket at an Italian restaurant, and the bar is always buzzing. But when you're in Napa, and everyone is pointing you toward the same spot, you listen! My travel bestie is a full-blown Italian food fanatic, so this was an absolute no-brainer. We walked in ready to be seated like royalty and were immediately humbled by two lonely little seats shoved at the very end of the bar. You know the ones. The seats that scream, "You're sitting at the kids' table this Thanksgiving." We politely declined, told the bartender we would wait, and were handed drink menus like the VIPs we truly are. While sipping and sipping some more, we admired the oysters gliding by and somehow made a whole group of new friends at the bar. Those ladies were an absolute riot and made the wait fly by. About twenty minutes later, a couple wrapped up, and we swooped in fast. I was so giddy that I literally sat there swinging my feet like a kid on Christmas morning. I ordered three oysters because everyone and their mother was raving about them, and wow, they did not disappoint. Gorgeous presentation, even better flavor. Now here is where it gets fun. I started casually peeking at everyone's plates and straight up asking strangers what they were eating. Judge me all you want, but I am a woman who does her research! After a very thorough investigation involving my bar neighbor and the bartender, I landed on the Spaghetti con gamberi & vongole. WOW. Just WOW. Clams, shrimp, toasted garlic, chili, white wine... it was an absolute flavor explosion. The portion was massive, and since I had no way to reheat leftovers, I made it my personal mission to finish every last bite. Mission accomplished and worth every single forkful. Honestly, this dish was so good it deserved its own first-class seat on the flight home. I am not even joking. Oh, and the drink? The Smokeshow Paloma. The name alone had me intrigued, and then I found out it was made with mezcal, aka my absolute favorite spirit, and it was game over. Love, love, LOVE does not even begin to cover it. Overall, this experience was worth every penny spent. I would give them repeat business regularly. If you haven't already, go check them out.

    Scala is conveniently located in downtown Napa. If you want to enjoy delicious food at a lively restaurant, you must snag a reservation here! My favorite dishes were the Warm Octopus Salad, Spaghetti Con Gamberi & Vongole, and the Pork Chop Milanese. Every bite was seriously delicious. The service is also incredible -- totally matches the friendly vibe of the restaurant.

    Doris D.

    Fantastic Italian in downtown Napa. Totally recommended. We had: Calamari - some of the best calamari I've ever had - batter was light, crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Pesto silk handkerchief pasta - Super fresh pasta and bright bold pesto Veal with mushrooms and marsala - Veal was super tender, sauce was perfection

    Spaghetti with clams and shrimp in a garlic wine sauce

    Wow what a great find this spot was! My friend and I booked a reservation on a Monday at 6:45 PM and would you believe this place was jampacked like it was still the weekend? Everything was on point with this restaurant, attentive waitstaff, delicious and well prepared items on the menu. There isn't a bad seat in the house! I got the chopped salad to share with my friend and then the spaghetti with clams and shrimp, and the dish was so simple yet so tasty! I definitely will be back next time I have a reason to dine out in Napa again!

    Penne pasta
    Carrie T.

    The food, atmosphere, and service were incredible! Our server Jon was very attentive and friendly making our experience 10/10! The Caesar salad was very fresh with a hint of lemon and fresh croutons. Penne paste was delicious with freshly made pasta and tomato sauce.

    On our first night in Napa, after traveling all day we just wanted a nice dinner, good wine, good food and good atmosphere. This place looks inviting, there was so much potential, to fall short right off the back. After being sat by the friendly host, we were greeted by a server who clearly either didn't want to be there or didn't want us there. After ordering a bottle wine, he pour or first glass and walked off with our bottle, we couldn't pour our own and I believe he even forgot he took it. I sat there a while wanting more wine he clearly had forgotten he took it. After asking about Oyster options, he made a rude remark about me "questioning him on his knowledge at 10pm." Despite that rudeness we still ordered oysters. When we got oysters delivered, we asked the runner for salt and lemons waited a while and didn't come, so I asked our server and and after a few minutes he must have forgotten, like with our wine, so we asked the busser, and after while still nothing. Finally asked the server yet again who didn't seemed so pleased that I asked for anything else. At this point at just appetizers, we were clearly not wanted in here. What a shame. We decided to try another place instead and just closed the tab and left. Will not return here.

    We came here to celebrate my cousins birthday and it was a wonderful time. This is located in downtown Napa and we went during dinner time. I thought it was super delicious. I ordered the Ravioli al limone which is a spinach, pecorino and ricotta stuffed pasta with a lemon cream parmigiano sauce It was super creamy and really tasteful. I would come back here for this pasta!

Upon entry and seeing people dressed very relaxed, my assumption was curved. The inside was relatively small, we sat at small table in the back near the "kitchen" food pick-up area is the best way to describe it. Our waiter was okay, provided us the nightly specials and acknowledged our Anniversary. Nothing beyond the standard greeting. Drinks: very basic in my opinion; subjective I get it. Me and my guests were not wow'd. We had to ask for additional supplements for the Lavender Lemon Drop and Georgia Peach or something Peach with bourbon, peach puree, etc. Appetizers: PrimeRib Sliders, Fried Coconut Prawns and Lobster Bisque. Again taste is subjective, being from the south, flavors and richness is a MUST. I can't say we got that. Our guest throughly enjoyed the prawns and said the sauce was GREAT. I'm use to a VERY rich, cozy Lobster bisque and this missed the mark, and there was barely any lobster. Entrees: 8 oz Filet Mignon, Prime Rib, Crab enchiladas and Scallops. Filet was requested as medium, came out almost done, no pink in sight. While my guest was disappointed, they didn't feel like the battle of waiting for it to be corrected, disappointing. Prime Rib, was okay. The guest barely finished it. Pan Roasted Maine Scallops, were okay, cooked fine. Meal ended once a gnat landed on the crisp crackers. Crab Enchiladas: A very unique dish. Plentiful for sure; taste basic. Essentially a taco with all the fixings with crab sprinkled in minus a shell. No dessert for us; however, we were offered a cupcake with a candle for our anniversary. While this review is my/our experience, the restaurant missed the mark with this basic, dry store bought cupcake. I refuse to believe this was made in house. Perhaps one of the menu dessert options would have been better. We'll never know. My expectations were not met. Hope yours is.

The ambience was genuine French countryside (with a mix of a sports bar inside that didn't really match??), but given everything else was off the charts we didn't mind. The service was 5-star level with their manners, panache, and the knowledge and experience you would only expect at a Michelin-grade chophouse. The food. Spectacular. No words. Presentation was surprisingly impressive even with their side dishes. Their New Zealand Lamb Chops were criminal. Lamb will never be the same after having theirs. It. Was. Perfect. I did not care for any of their side sauces, which were on point, but I just prefer a simpler wine sauce. The wife ordered the Filet Mignon, which was prepared perfectly and was that melt in your mouth tenderness you hope for. Their included sides were asparagus, glazed carrots, AND mashed potatoes which were all fantastic. Appetizer was a jumbo white prawn cocktail which was good (wife birthday choice ;), even though I was eying their Wood Oven Oyster Rockefeller with spinach, bacon, and bearnaise sauce. Next time...sigh. The dessert was so good it was like torture after being so full. Thought I just had the best cheesecake ever that weekend at the Fairmont which was a Pistachio cheesecake with Boscotti crumbles. This blew it away. DARK CHCOLATE OREO CRUSTED WITH A DARK CHEERY COMPOTE. O.M.G. Wife had a banana crème brûlée which was equally amazing. Oh and they forced us to have as many dessert drinks as we liked (her bday came in handy) on a drink cart. (A full bar lol from scotches, sherries, brandies, ports, any style of chocolate liqueur). This will be our new home kitchen away from home. 20/10 rating.

The dish had good flavor with the highlight being how fresh the shrimp tasted. Next level freshness that would resonate through the meal. The one thing I would adjust with this dish is the level of crispiness. I normally order fries extra crispy and I should have done the same with this. Next was the french onion soup and the Caesar salad. The soup was classic style with the onions being on the sweeter side. Good rendition. The salad was something that my friends had raved about and it was quite good. Nothing wrong with it but I have had better. The presentation was cool too. For my entree I had the ribeye steak. It comes with potatoes and vegetables. The steak was good but I would have preferred a higher char level. I ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium. Cooked at a higher temp for a shorter time would have been better, still the steak had good flavor. The potatoes and veggies were uninspired but there was nothing wrong with them. I order fries on the side which like the calamari could have been crispier. The peppercorn sauce was delicious. My wife had one of the specials for her entree, the ahi poke salad. This dish was delicious. Again the freshness of the seafood stood out. A terrific balance of flavors with some wasabi heat. 10 for 10. It was my birthday so the restaurant gave me a free chocolate mousse dessert which was delightful. All in all a good meal. We will likely return but next time focus on the seafood as I believe this is where Cordeiro's excels.

    This was for our 23rd wedding anniversary, so as a treat, I decided to invite my husband and close…read morefriends to lunch. While working in St. Helena, I could never find an opening in a reservation, so here was a great opportunity now that all of us are retired. Our friends live in Clear Lake while we live in Vallejo, so this is a central place to meet. It was the best decision I made because every year for the past several anniversaries, we've gone to Cache Creek to C2. Their food and service is excellent because my husband enjoys poker, but I thought a change of scenery would be nice. And it was! Firstly, it was very kind of the staff to present us with a greeting card signed by everyone -- how sweet and thoughtful! We will cherish that! Secondly, we were very impressed with how the food/wine was locally sourced. It was incredible to hear the story about Custom, the Bull, and taste the difference between the Highland beef compared to Angus. Our waitress was "Erica S." She was engaging, personable, and very informative. My husband and I would definitely like to return to return to experience the dinner menu! We and our guests had the following dishes: Artichoke appetizer Arbororio Biscuits & Gravy Two Cheeseburgers Three Bloody Mary's Farmstead Margarita When they found out it was our anniversary celebration, the house sent over four glasses of complimentary champagne and a dish of dessert -- again, very sweet and kind of them I now understand why so many crowds flock to this restaurant! It's well worth the wait! If you have not experienced a meal there, you must definitely go now!

    I was really excited to try this restaurant for the first time, especially for Mother's Day, and…read morewhile the food itself was excellent, the overall experience was disappointing enough that I would not return. From the beginning, there seemed to be constant miscommunication between staff. We specifically booked an outdoor reservation and were seated inside instead. While mistakes happen, it set the tone for the rest of the evening. The bigger issue involved the wine and corkage fee. We purchased a bottle directly from the market associated with the restaurant and were told by the employee there that the corkage fee would be waived if we bought their wine. When we sat down, our server Sara told us that was not true and that we would still have to pay the fee. I explained what we had been told, and when she asked if I wanted a manager involved, I said yes. Before the manager even arrived or clarified the situation, the server opened our bottle of wine. In the silence and confusion, I reasonably assumed the fee issue had been resolved. Then the manager came over and told us we would still be charged and implied that nobody at the market would have told us otherwise. The way it was handled made my husband and I feel like we were being accused of making the whole thing up, which was especially upsetting on Mother's Day. At that point, the bottle was already opened, so we were essentially stuck paying the fee regardless. Between being seated incorrectly, the poor communication between employees, and how dismissive the situation felt, the service completely overshadowed what should have been a special meal. The rest of the service we felt ignored and there was minimal effort to accommodate. Great food alone is not enough to justify returning when the hospitality experience feels this frustrating and unprofessional.
