It's been more than 20 years since I've been to this restaurant and it is still fabulous. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the guys loved their pasta dishes. The tiramisu was fresh and nicely flavored. The chocolate cake and butterscotch pudding were lovely. Portions were generous, but not too much. Service was attentive, but not overly so. I look forward to making homemade pizza tomorrow with dough we purchased tonight.
Easily the most authentic Italian dining I've ever enjoyed in the US. I have lived extended stays in Italy, traveled heavily for business, searched for places like Don Giovanni's, and was sad to leave to fly back to Seattle. What an experience from driving up through dessert. Incredible service, authentic surroundings, and I feel sorry for the folks that visit Napa and miss this incredible dining opportunity. Bravo 👏
This restaurants’s food is too good for its own good. It has a lot of customers and the wait staff cannot keep up with it. It is always too busy for the staff to do a thorough and professional job at waiting on tables. They brought bread to the table but no butter or olive oil or balsamic vinegar. We waited for 20 minutes for the server to take our drink order, it took another 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive, then he took our order and forgot to bring the octopus salad to us. If I had not told him about it, he would’ve never known that the salad was never brought to the table. He comped the salad. To the management: increase the wait staff!
Great authentic Italian food. We also very much enjoyed the wine. But our highlight was definitely the service by Roberto! Thanks for a great evening.
Very good Italian restaurant with a very nice patio in Napa. I would certainly recommend it. Fresh ingredients, very delicious and great service. Since we had other dishes in different places before. Octopus salad and calamari crisps were amazing. Great value for money not an astronomically expensive place.
One of our favorite restaurants in Napa. This place is a local favorite and the food nor service never disappoints. They make their own pasta and the food is fresh, hot and very flavorful. The service is always fast and friendly. Never had a bad meal or experience here.
I honestly came in not thinking much. The market is so saturated with Italian restaurants and most are subpar. However, after my first bite of the spaghetti and clams dish, I was shook!!!!!!! The noodles were perfectly bouncy, sauce was thick and delicious, and the clams were so fresh and juicy!!! I had to apologize to my husband because we ordered one to share (we didn’t know better) and I fully intended to destroy the rest of it. The bread service was impeccable. Warm bread with unlimited olive oil AND balsamic vinegar. My husband loves high quality olive oil and a nice thick balsamic vinegar. He was delighted to see that they used very decent ingredients. Service was great. We had a waitress who did not show any judgement when we only ordered one dish and took great care of us. All the other servers were just as nice when they stopped by to check in. Ambiance is a given. The patio area was gorgeous with a lot of art and a fountain. You’ll be surrounded by lush gardens and olive trees. This was a truly incredible dining experience and I’ll be recommending it to all of my friends that visit the area.
Great food, great atmosphere. The only knock is that some of the presentation was not consistent. Some dishes were plated nicely, while others looked like it was dumped onto the plate.
Very nice atmosphere in the garden, food was excelent either the octopus or the Branzino that both were cooked very well. The tiramisu also wad good. Service was good. A good Italian atmosphere restaurant. For sure will be back.
We enjoyed a good lunch with friends after wine tasting in Napa. The food is good, the service is polite and professional. The outside patio is very nice.
