Scala Osteria offers traditional Southern Italian, seafood-centered recipes meant to be shared with family and friends in our warm and vibrant dining room. Our menu is influenced by the traditional Italian osteria where creating simple yet delicious food is paramount, and our atmosphere is always inviting and full of life. From our beautiful oyster bar to our house-made pastas and Neapolitan style pizzas, we have something for everyone. We offer varying experiences, from folks grabbing a quick bite on their lunch hour, to couples stopping in to delight in our Oyster Bar, to parties spending hours enjoying delicious Southern Italian fare with perfectly paired wines. Sister restaurant to valley favorite, Bistro Don Giovanni, Scala Osteria is located on vibrant First Street in the heart of Downtown Napa. We are open daily for lunch, dinner from 11:30am to 10pm and late night service from 10-11pm.

    Late flight? Scala is open late, the last seating is at 10:30pm. Even though it's a limited menu at that hour, there are many fabulous choices. The meatballs with sauce and soft polenta is one of my favorites, while my husband likes the calzone, and we both enjoy their salad. The service is top notch and even though it's late, they never try to rush the service.

    Our out of town guests were impressed. The copped salad was a great starter, plenty big for two

    What a great culinary experience! I had the Filet of petrale sole piccata and it was to die for! Delicate fish expertly prepared with a light piccata sauce and steamed spinach. Paired this with their Ronsard "La Pleiade" Sancerre which was wonderful!! Started the meal off with their small caesar salad, so fresh and tasty, and a glass of Schramsberg "Brut Rosé. My party of 3 was seated upstairs, which I didn't even know they had, and boy was I glad we were. So intimate and much quieter than downstairs for sure. Most dishes are a la carte so be prepared for 'add ons' but they are worth it. Guests in my party had the Pan-seared Branzino & collection of steamed vegetables on the side and they loved it! Happily recommend!!!

    We have loved Donna Scala and her husband’s restaurants since dining at Scala’s San Francisco. When we moved to Napa 25 years ago we were (and are) frequent dinners at Bistro Don Giovanni near our home so we wanted to give Scala’s Osteria a try. This restaurant hit it out of the park. The ambiance complemented the outstanding service and of course the delicious food.

    My shrimp and clam pasta was excellent and my companion said the lasagna was very good. We are considering coming here again for a future trip.

    My daughter who was visiting from New York City and I had a fantastic time. The food was great, the wine was great, the ambience was great. We couldn’t have asked for more!

    Fabulous food, great service! Sit upstairs for a quieter experience. Eat the donuts for dessert - one of the five best desserts I have had!
