- GGary and AshleyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •318 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTired of just OK food and service?! In the heart of downtown Napa, you’ll find SCALA . . . offering phenomenal food with stellar service, great energetic ambience (without being too loud) and counter seating at the full bar with all their menu offerings . . . not to mention front row/box seats at the Chef‘s counter overlooking the kitchen/crew and pizza oven ~ and don’t forget the oyster bar too . . . We’ve been more times than we care to admit (lol). Some of our favorites include . . . the Veal “Scala-ppini” marsala and mushroom sauce ($36) that will leave you wondering what you’ve been eating at other restaurants . . . to the Pork Chop Milanese lemon, capers and butter sauce ($32) that’s pounded flatter than a pancake, super moist with a slight crunch ~ Note: make sure to ask for extra sauce (on the side) as you’ll want to swim in it . . . we could keep going with the menu items, although we’ll end with their over the top Lasagna (classic) layered with bolognese and bechamel sauces ($32) and whatever you do, do not share or ask anyone if they’d like to try it, as you’ll never see it again.

- PPaulSan Francisco Bay Area •202 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur 2nd time to dine here. The service and food reflect on the consistent Michelin ratings ( 7 years ) Our specialist Martin was at the top of his game Truly helpful explaining the fine details of each serving Chef Yamamoto did not disappoint. Enjoyed the Wagyu and the Duck on top of the dumpling. The Sea Breem had an amazing ponzu gel Only complaint is the year 2020 vintage of Rindo should not be served since that’s a horrible year for wine because of the Napa fires. Still good but it clouded my judgement on the wine because of the suspect issues of the fires to the vines Never the less we had an epic dinner Arigato🙏🏼🇯🇵More infoKenzo NapaPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Napa•4.8
- LLynSacramento / Sacramento Valley •19 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDelicious grilled salmon on top of spinach on top of polenta! Crème brûlée not to be missed! We shared the wonderful Napa cabbage salad—they don’t skimp on the bleu cheese in this one and there was plenty of salad . Loved the cheery Christmas music for lunch with my dearest friend. I had some bubbly and she had Sauvignon Blanc. The service and atmosphere was warm and friendly as it always is. I drove from Sonoma to Napa because this is one of my favorite restaurants in wine country.More infoRistorante AllegriaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Napa•4.6
- JJenniferVIPPhiladelphia County •9 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024We had the pleasure of dining at Oenotri during our trip to Napa Valley, and it was amazing. The food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their amazing wine selection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with impeccable service that made us feel so welcomed. From start to finish, every detail of our experience was outstanding. They even gave us a complementary glass of champagne to apologize for having us wait for a bit.More infoOenotriPrice: Expensive• Italian• Napa•4.4
