   Tired 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.

   We enjoyed every minute of our leisurely lunch here. Service was terrific, warm and informed. The food is superb-possibly the best clams ever, in a divine, fragrant, spicy broth served with two perfect pieces of toasted garlic bread. The chopped salad with cannellini beans, fennel, salami, provolone and more is perfect. And the gorgeous, high ceilinged dining room is just stunning. A new favorite for us in downtown Napa.

   So great about allergies! Amazing gluten free pasta. We came here two nights in a row because the food was so good the first night.

   Their mothership restaurant, Don Giovani has been one of my favorites for years. Truly enjoyed this new place. Felt like I was walking into a New York restaurant. I knew the space previously and they did an outstanding job of reinventing it. The food was really fantastic...we went for meat instead of pasta and I have never been served a pork chop like the way they prepare it. Heads up, the portions are generous, and you might want to consider sharing salads (for sure) as well as mains. Only off comments...a glass of Schramsberg very high priced for what it is...and we had to wait for our table , but the place was packed for a Wednesday night...and can easily understand why one would want to linger at their table. Great staff, attentive, professional , and great moods. Will definitely return, great for a celebration.

   Amazing food especially the tiramisu. Place was a bit loud and the tables are really close together, ok for lunch setting but for dinner maybe not. Services was great and on point.
