Neha DubeyJuly 10, 2016Dog friendly on the patio. Staff was great and they were wonderful with my dog! The food was good too. I know its an Italian place but you must try their fries!
Tom LaymanApril 28, 2017The risotto with Duck confit and asparagus was outstanding, the best ever tasted! The pork chop is a very very big meal and perfectly cooked as well!
Roberto Bruder AguiarJuly 26, 2014Really amazing food from real Italian flavors. And their wine selection is great! We had the Black Stallion. Very affordable and very good! Fried olives were great!
Jon B.December 27, 2023Personal faves include: olive frites, octopus salad, gnocchetti, lamb shank, and butterscotch pudding. Everything was fabulous, and the service was top notch.
Victoria U.October 24, 2015An incredibly romantic Italian spot in Napa- get the ravioli with the lemons sauce, absolutely delicious. End with the trifle because you're in Napa and that's just what you do.
Dov DAugust 26, 2019Super expensive but great food. The risotto, lamb shank, bambini pizza and gnocchi were amazing. We’ve also had the gazpacho - also very good.
RamOctober 11, 2015Best Italian in Napa. Food is great and prices are affordable. Service is decent although winelist could be better (we're in Napa!!). BYOB!
Davide B.September 25, 2019Great italian cuisine (I’m italian and quite picky about my homeland cuisine...). Staff very friendly and helpful (Rosario is awesome).
JORDAN DONALDSONJune 20, 2015The fries on the kids pizza was ahmazing!!!! I will never eat fries the same!! The lemon raviollis were to die for. So fresh and zesty and creamy!- This place makes me happy! Try the Blondie Mary, you won't regret it.
Robert SJanuary 31, 2017Gnochetti lamb ragu & pistachio creme brûlée!!! Ask for Amaro Lucano at the end.
Try the pizza types All good. Let cool for ten before eating. Hot hot. Outside seating is wonderful.
Maya ByrneMay 21, 2018Pasta was delicious and had a perfect cook. Service was ok as we didn’t get items we ordered
Heather JohnDecember 30, 2012Get the ravioli with the lemon sauce- it is amazing! Also, order the fried olives which aren't on the menu. Enjoy!
Deb StallingsMarch 29, 2010I am not aware of another place in the Valley you can get the fried olives. They are amazing. A bowl of fried olives and two cosmos equals complete and total bliss for me! Highly recommended.
Hermann BrandiFebruary 27, 2017The grilled octopus salad is amazing. The ravioli with lemon sauce is excellent.
Michael ArmijoJuly 23, 2010The Blondie Mary offered is only available seasonally when the yellow heirloom tomatoes are accessible.It's just like a Bloody Mary but instead of red tomatoes the yellow heirlooms are used.Delicious!
Aliza ShermanMarch 5, 2013Try the Risotto With Mushrooms And Bay Scallops - With asparagus and gremolata. Flavorful! #winesister
It is great for any occasion...the grounds around are beautifully maintained and places to eat all around

Matt BernsteinAugust 10, 2015The homemade pastas and pizzas were delicious. Check out their vegetable garden!
- Arik HousleyOctober 14, 2011whole fish changes, wood oven roasted and served at table. Unique and great experience. Can't beat the original of salmon and mashed potatoes as well.
Pacific UnionNovember 1, 2012Delicious spot with a focus on local winemakers and farmers. Enjoy the lovely vineyard views!
Jason M.April 7, 2012Pasta is good. They have a mixed dish where you can sample 2 or 3 pasta's. Good service.
Meagan CanterDecember 15, 2011If you come during the Christmas season, ask if they have their house made egg nog. So good!
