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.

    Amazing!! We have been to Scala many times and food and service is always superb. Last night was no exception. Our server Johnny was the best, so friendly and knowledgeable. And his timing was perfect. There when we needed him, but didn’t intrude. Can’t wait to return!!

    Excellent experience as always. This time was in the more secluded 2nd level and service and all else was excellent for lunch.

    Our first experience at Scala was excellent. We ordered the special caviar toasts appetizer, lobster fettuccine and petrale sole for our mains and tiramisu for dessert. The toast was our favorite bite of the evening, however everything was delicious. Our server was informative and helpful. We will definitely return.

    Thank you for accommodating my special request for seating and providing a thoughtful card and dessert with candle for my friend’s birthday. It was her fist time at the restaurant and we both enjoyed the entire lunch very much.

    Terrific spot for delightful Italian food. Creative menu with numerous choices. Staff was knowledgable and friendly without being overly attentive. It was our anniversary and they presented us with a handwritten card - who does that! Manager came over to greet us and congratulate us too. Triple shout out for "Zee" - she was awesome!
