Winemaker's hangout |
4110 Howard Lane At Highway 29 Napa Valley, CA 94558 United States +1 707 224 3300 http://www.bistrodongiovanni.com |
This relaxed, cozy eatery is popular with local vintners, a great recommendation for excellent food. No wonder, as its owners are Giovanni and Donna Scala who also own Scala's Bistro in San Francisco. The wood and tile dining area, adorned with lots of fresh flowers and pottery, features a huge fireplace and glassed-in kitchen. Outside, a sprawling patio overlooks adjacent vineyards. The traditional Italian cuisine is impeccably prepared. Recommended dishes include the Trenne Pasta with Lamb, Artichokes, Olives, Roasted Tomatoes and Ricotta Salata. The wine list features local and Italian vintages and the service is first-rate. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fiery & tasty Cal-Mex |
1025 1st St Napa Valley, CA 94559 United States +1 707 252 4707 |
Located in the heart of downtown Napa, this quaint stucco restaurant serves authentic Mexican fare. The ample dining area is comfortable but a little dark.

Italian Bite |
1550 Trancas Street Napa Valley, CA 94558 United States +1 707 253 8686 |
Genova Delicatessen and Ravioli Factory is well known in Napa for the delicious Italian fare it offers. Though the restaurant has not much to show in terms of the decor, the tasty sandwiches, salamis, ravioli, salads and more along with the extensive wine list make up for the same. The deli is a family run business which does have an open air dining area, however it serves better as a take away joint. Mostly crowded this place will give you a wonderful taste of Italy.

The restaurant continues Child's tradition by creating menus infused with French tastes and seasonal ingredients. The motto here is "from the garden to the table." Premium ingredients, herbs and produce, are grown and hand-picked from Copia's organic gardens. Menus - the Tasting Menu and Movie Menu, for example, are created daily to reflect the freshest seasonal ingredients. The wine list, as you'd expect in Napa Valley, is extensive.
