Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Round up your favorite food nerds & hit the terrazzo, a cozy space with strings of light on the ceiling, a large stone fireplace & ample seating. It's the perfect spot for eating short rib meatballs. Read more
Tatyana FisherAugust 26, 2013Fine Italian cuisine. Portions are moderate. Try gnocchi for pasta and duck for the 2nd entree. A very knowledgeable sommelier will help you choose a nice wine pairing.
Andy WangOctober 5, 2015Had a fantastic lunch here on 10/3. Reviews are spot on. Polenta under glass is absolutely divine as is the octopus. Absolutely loved the burrata.For the main, braised short rib is fantastic!
Yuan WangNovember 20, 2016Skip the main course and order more antipasti to share: Polenta under glass, octopus, burrata, short rib meat balls. Finish with egg yolk ravioli in brown butter & sage sauce!
- Christina Tyler WenksJune 2, 2018Polenta under glass is worth our annual flight from Washington, D.C. Chiarello’s culinary genius is on every plate. We loved Bottega while living in CA. A decade later, it’s still our fave in U.S.
Sherry RenSeptember 5, 2016Polenta was good. Love the garlic butter that comes with bread. This rigatoni was so dense with mushroom flavor that without cheese or cream it was still amazing.
Karla ANovember 28, 2015Everything we tried was good. Im surprised this doesn't have at least one star. Everyone talks about the polenta and rightfully so. Try it and save room for the tiramisu later. You wont regret it.
Kristina BarkoAugust 15, 2015A perfect ten. The octopus, Sophia Loren pasta, pork shoulder, and duck...WOWOW! I am blown away by all. Not to mention the service is great too. Spectacular meal. Absolutely gorgeous food.
North Block HotelOctober 5, 2014The housemade raviolo is maybe one of the best things we have ever had. Be sure to try anything and everything with fresh truffles! -North Block Hotel
- Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Chef Michael Chiarello's Napa Valley hotspot serves Italian fare with a focus on artisanal, heritage and house-made ingredients in an intimate environment. Read more
Zach AaronsMarch 26, 2012This is one of the top places in the Napa Valley. Michael Chiarello came back to the kitchen triumphantly. We ate in a beautiful private room which is great for big groups. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Robert ScobleJuly 3, 2011Try the Polenta Under Glass - Wow. FourSquare folks recommended this and it did not disappoint!
Donna NoviMay 21, 2012Comfortable, welcoming, delicious! The Ricotta Gnocchi is a must-I don't love gnocchi! The cocktails are seasonal&thoughtful, as is the menu-Eat in the bar if you can't get a table. U might c Michael!
Tom EvansApril 7, 2013The wait staff, service, food, and wine selection are outstanding. Murph was our waiter and he made the evening. Was special night (birthday dinner). We were treated so amazingly well.
Kevin ThompsonNovember 24, 2018They still got it. The brick pressed Chicken is great. Flavorful with a little spice. The ravioli d uova also great. Skip the short ribs.- I live for the Truffle Fries! Done in duck fat with herbs and finished with parmigviano... so amazing! (Also, try dipping them in the garilic, parm oil they serve with the bread! Killer combo!)
JKAugust 2, 2021Try burrata and marinated mushrooms or persimmon purée across thick slices of yellowfin tuna crudo.
Justin DiSantoSeptember 6, 2014The aioli that comes with the calamari was so good. The antipasto had some delicious cheeses Yum. Flat iron chicken was good just the right spice.
Leah Candelaria-TylerDecember 16, 2013We were not disappointed. Get the polenta under glass. The pastas are also quite fresh and hit the spot. Expect to take your time, and chat with your neighbors.
Roxanne DNovember 22, 2013I loved the tomato and risotto w. prawn special & my husband couldn't stop raving about his braised short rib. We ordered a side of truffle fries but barely had enough room left
Randy BrownMarch 25, 2014The meatballs are unreal. Secret unadvertised menu item, add extra meatball. Just ask the waitress so that you will have 4 instead of 3 balls on the plate.- Kevin ThompsonJanuary 6, 2016Start with the polenta under glass and then proceed to the Pollo alla Diavola. Most flavorful & perfectly cooked chicken I've ever had.
Nick LeeApril 1, 2017Great duck leg with ravioli. My girlfriend received the wrong dish and the waiter insisted it was what she ordered in a rude way which was a bit bizarre/outrageous. The food was excellent though
Sabina B.September 2, 2014One of the best, heartiest meals I've ever had. Sit outside and start with the Pesce Crudo followed by the Black Garlic Spaghetti- Men's Health MagSeptember 16, 2014Round up your favorite food nerds and hit the terrazzo, a cozy space with strings of light, a stone fireplace and ample seating. It's the perfect spot for short rib meatballs and a glass of red.
Divya MenonMarch 9, 2015What an amazing restaurant in Napa! Loved the wine & the food! Must stop at the restaurant for a delicious meal 😍
Visit Napa ValleyDecember 28, 2011Visit in January for lunch during Napa Valley Restaurant Month, and enjoy a short rib burger with Bottega chips for $19. Lunch served Tuesday - Sunday 11:30 – 2:30pm.
Her WinenessMarch 17, 2012Chef Chiarello is the best of all celebrity chefs I've met and dined at their restaurants! Worth the $ & much respect to him for all his hard/deserved work!
Ali LynchAugust 28, 2013Don't pass up the fig and prosciutto app, and eat it how the chef recommends. So soo good!
Lin MaAugust 4, 2016Fine American Italian food, combined with elegant and comfortable environment and neighborhood makes almost perfect experience.
Toni OrbanAugust 22, 2015They the bolognese. Bu if you eat fish the best fish I've ever had no,really it's the Bransino at chiarello's Bottega. Enjoy!- Christina Tyler WenksJune 2, 2018Wines, pairings, seasonal plates, burrata, truffle fries... ALL menu choices are exceptional choices at Bottega.
Bottega never fails to deliver a perfect meal in a perfect setting!..BTW Dress should be business casual to blend into the wonderful atmosphere. ; )
Earl BayerDecember 5, 2014I may have had my best meal ever at Bottega. Great pasta dishes, desserts, and the atmosphere was very comfortable.- Jeff PlaistedMarch 29, 2010Polenta under glass is superb & really unique. The braised short ribs paired with Michael's 'Giana' Cabernet is out of this world. (Cab is 1 of best I had in napa, surpassed only by Silver Oak napa)
Eric OlssonJanuary 21, 2013Try the Potato dough raviolo - Filled with spinach and ricotta, black truffles, farm fresh egg yolk, sage brown butter
SerenaFebruary 22, 2012no corkage fee is charged for chiarello wines purchased at the attached store. if your party is 4+ request to sit in the private wine cellar behind the dining room; it makes the experience even better
Sheila FarahJune 19, 2013Fantastic!!!! The food, staff, everything is perfect! Try the Ricota gnochi and the tiramissu is Wonderful.
Лучшее, что я кушала: risotto with porchini and pork - omg! Buratta and crab salad and scallops hot!!!! Aaa! Say hello to chief Michael from russian blondy)
George HoffJuly 8, 2011Amazing food & service, plus great value for the dishes! Jennifer our waitress was awesome, had good reccomendations at the restaurant, and beyond!
AJ Torrente VillanuevaSeptember 25, 2014Iron Chef Chiarello's boneless sonoma duck confit with foie gras. Unforgettable! Dine here when in Napa

Ashley YuehSeptember 20, 2012Bacon and egg a must. Dreamy beet ravioli with fresh figs and toasted hazelnuts were beautiful.
