Bottega Napa Valley

This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. If you’re considering dining here, don’t hesitate—just go. I’ve been to many places, but nothing compares to the experience I had. The truffle fries were outstanding, and the service was attentive without being pushy. I ordered the pasta carbonara, which was traditional, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too oily. Every bite was delicious. The Caesar salad was also fantastic. Overall, I don’t often give such high praise, but this place definitely deserves it.

This is a great establishment. The interior is elegant. Open kitchen concept allows you to see the food being prepared. My only suggestion is that on hot summer days they offer extensive salad and cold food options. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. The arancinis were excellent and so was the grilled octopus . Excellent wine selection.

Went to Bottega on a Friday night. Murph was out waiter. Brought 2 bottles of wine....Pegau and Brunello. Murph made evening amazing. We just let him bring us the food, family style. The experience was just amazing. Wish you guys could experience the evening that we had. Loved it

Came here for my wife's birthday dinner. Everything was so good. We started with the pasta fritta con prosciutto, which was warm and delicious. For entrees, I had the tagliarini bolognese, which was full of flavor. My wife had the costolette di manzo(short rib), which she said was insanely good. We also got a free, surprise dessert, which was a nice touch. They gave us the bread pudding, and the ice cream and small cookoes. Those two were just okay. Service was phenomenal. Wine was fantastic. Free parking. Make it a must visit before you leave Napa Valley!

Well to start off, the menu is incredibly jumbled and convoluted. There is no rhyme or reason to have a muddled menu format and honestly I absolutely hate it (as someone who studied design.) It actually drives me crazy because I could not focus on a single item on the menu and same goes for the drink menu with the bad price list that was off by maybe 2 points and crooked. Please please re design your menu!!!! Overall the restaurant looked nicer than this. We waited 21 minutes until our server came in a giant rush and walked off as I was going to order our appetizer haha. Not funny but kinda movie like comical with my mouth open and ordering to no one lol. It also happened mid sentence as my partner tried to order our entree as he left mid sentence. Curly haired male with glasses. Portions are pretty small for the price and arinicinis were pretty bland. As I'm looking around the food looked pretty deflated including the sad Branzino my neighbor had. I think I was fooled because it was semi busy (7pm Sunday) and I had high hopes. Was this the only place open? It wasn't but we were fooled by the atmosphere. I normally try to only review when it's incredible but this was especially bad. We have been checked on 2x and only taking drink and appetizer orders in the 40 minutes we've been there and half of the people are already done with their meals. We also never got our bread service even though he assured us it would come out. We got served our entrees and still nothing but a quick hello from him. We finally got our bread after we asked him again the third time with no apology or explanation that maybe it was busy?? We're pretty laid back but holy crap this was horrible service all around with semi ok food. Our server finally actually talked to us at the end when I was done eating and maybe he caught on that we were not very happy and offered us a dessert,but even so, we will be avoiding this place in the future. Also to add that I have been a server for years and understand this world so this was just kinda a mood ruiner when we were hoping for a nice night out.

Came here for a birthday dinner. Service and food were excellent. I ordered the short rib and my friend had the risotto of the day topped with halibut. They even provided a dessert plate to celebrate the birthday. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend dining here.

Lovely lunch at Bottega. Food is excellent - seems like this restaurant is owned by the same company that runs coqueta? Not surprised, as I like that place as well. Marinated Chicken diabola was excellent, as well as the Bolognese pasta. What I loved most of all was their bread and signature Parmesan dip!! Will crave them for sure

Excellent service , food and presentation, I am surprised this is not Michelin rated , definitely should have a bib . My favorite the carbonara , yellowtail , burrata with caviar , and polenta . Parking is super easy and convenient, and the place is gorgeous! Efficient staff

Bottega is a wonderful spot to eat before going to a winery. If you would like to sit outside, you must either arrive very early or reserve in advance. The food was delicious and well balanced. As someone who rarely finishes a pasta plate, I was able to finish the carbonara. The appetizers were good but the crudo of the day was such a small portion, I would not get it again.

I appreciate the creative flavors put into every dish, they were all very tasty, even the complimentary bread/garlic parmesean dip was delicious. I was most impressed with the raviolo, their take on ravioli to a different level! Also loved the how creamy and very buttery the scallop risotto was. They might be too rich for weaker tummies but that's why you have to pace yourself (unlike someone at my table lol)! A little disappointing were the octopus and hamachi. The octo was overcooked and the hamachi was microscopic! Loved my pretty After spa water, more so for the color and fresh floral fun. I didn't taste much alcohol in it but it was light and refreshing. We wanted to try a few other items that weren't on the menu, like lamb chops, black ink pasta and funnel cake prosciutto. Not their fault, it was ours for browsing old food porn on Yelp. Service was attentive, almost too attentive. The nice lady kept coming to take our plates while we were still eating. I was firm in saying I wasn't done but others at the table were missing plates and silverware between some of the entrees. I'll say it's partially their fault for not being more assertive with an ambitious wait staff. Lastly, there was a little miscommunication but thnx, Edgar, for taking care of it and showing us that he valued our time. Would love to return and try more yummy goodness soon!

Came here for my husband's birthday. I noted that it was his birthday on the reservation and they put a card on the table. However there was no complimentary dessert or any candle or message on the dessert we ordered. When we arrived around 4:45pm for our 5pm reservation, we were told to come back at 5pm to be seated which we thought was odd since it looked like tables were available and our entire party was there. Not only that, but when we arrived, the person at the front did not greet us and looked past us to tell the party sitting down that their table was ready. A hello or to say I'll be with you in a moment or just a quick gesture would've been nice. When we entered, the restaurant smelled a bit stuffy, so we asked to sit outside. Luckily there was a table available. I enjoyed the ambiance outside much better. It was warm with lots of outdoor heaters and nicely lit. For appetizers, we ordered the shaved brussel sprouts since That's something we don't usually see/haven't tried. It looked good in photos but we didn't realize that it comes with pecorino Romano. I really did not like the taste of that. My husband was okay with it but it got tiring so we didn't end up finishing it. After we placed our order, the server said the bread will be coming right out so we assumed it would be free. Then after our appetizer came out and the entrees were coming out soon, we double checked to see if the bread was coming. The waiter then brought the bread out which came with this dipping sauce that was garlicky and cheesy? But I did not enjoy the taste of it. Tasted like there might've been the same type of cheese that was in the brussel sprouts? When we received the bill, we noticed there was a "coperto" charge of $2 per person. Which is for the water and bread. Keep in mind they just poured us water automatically and mentioned bread without telling us there would be a charge. Also ordered the spaghetti alla Sophia. This was my favorite out of the dishes we ordered. It tasted fresh and flavorful. We also ordered the raviolo which was my husband's favorite. It's unique that it's one huge ravioli. Overall, the food was decent, but the service was not great. The server was not attentive. At one point we had a couple of empty places at our table and it took awhile for them to take it away. They also brought out a new drink my husband ordered without taking away the drink he had finished. So there were lots of empty plates and cups on our table. The service was not good as soon as we walked in and we should've taken that as a sign.

Celebrated my daughter's birthday at this amazing restaurant. We were seated at a nice roundtable that we requested since we made a reservation, which I highly recommended. They get busy even on weekdays. Our host and server were friendly and accommodating. The food was delectable and amazing. We ordered several different dishes from the menu, a lot to mention and describe, but all dishes were well presented. You can taste the quality and freshness of the homemade pasta. Loved the tiramisu with the chocolate dust it was smooth n velvety. Cocktails were also a great addition. Would definitely come back again especially our server was friendly, he was an older guy there seems very knowledgeable of all the dishes and always checked on our table.

Went to Bottega for a night out with a friend. The seating was a bit cramped, but since the restaurant wasn't too crowded, it didn't feel uncomfortable. The decor is lovely, and our waiter was attentive, adding to a pleasant experience. The food was good--not mind-blowing, but tasty, filling, and worth the price. Overall, I'd come back for another visit.

Excellent food at Bottega. The pasta was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice with low lighting. I went during a girl's trip, but this restaurant would be perfect for a date night. I did remove one star based on the service. The waiter didn't seem very attentive to our table. I will say that was the only con to the experience though. I was very impressed with the charcoal pasta. It was very unique and so tasty.

One of the best dinners I've had in wine country in a long time. Everything here was really incredible. The lighting was low but plenty bright enough so you didn't have to squint. We ordered a few appetizers to share and cocktails to start. Bread and a delicious garlic dip was brought over in addition and the sommelier uncorked our bottle of wine without hesitation. The pace of service was right on cue and all of our dishes were seasoned so well. We finished with dessert and coffee. I really loved the warm inviting atmosphere and the decor and details were all thoughtful and intentional. There's lots to try in Napa and the surrounding area but I'd say this is definitely one I'll make more prominent on my return list as a local Bay Area resident. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and evening Bottega team.

This is a great establishment. The interior is elegant. Open kitchen concept allows you to see the food being prepared. My only suggestion is that on hot summer days they offer extensive salad and cold food options. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. The arancinis were excellent and so was the grilled octopus . Excellent wine selection.

It must be five years since I was at bottega, it was very satisfying to return. Promptly seated four of us at our reservation time. Looking at the wine list I was very surprised at its value, we had a nice Etna Sicilian white wine for $54 which I looked up retails for $27 so just a two times markup over retail. We ordered two salad capreses, they were beautiful but I don't think they were heirloom and they certainly were not ripe tomatoes. Not sweet not super flavorful. One couple ordered the carbonara pasta for splitting for two, and it was very nice that they it in the kitchen and put an egg yolk on each serving. A different spin on carbonara but it was very good. Corkage is $35 (high) but waived if you buy a bottle. We had a nice time we'll go back our service was excellent, my only nit is don't clear the table until all of the diners are finished!

What was once a a culinary staple of Napa Valley, Bottega has since gone downhill. I've dined at Bottega a couple times, nothing phenomenal but a good spot in Yountville until recently with their new chef. To start, appetizers were bland and disappointing. The calamari was criminally under-seasoned and the Caesar salad had old wilted lettuce! Continuing the meal, my Fusilli allá Tra Vigne was one of the worst pasta dishes I've ever had. The fusilli was bare naked placed atop a measly amount of "spicy" tomato sauce. A child could have made a better dish. Safe to say I won't be back and neither will my family.

Ended the weekend with the perfect brunch @botteganapavalley the shaved brussel sprout salad with shaved egg, almonds, and lemon vinegarette. My absolute fav!! It's amazing how must shaving and grating ingredients can completely change a basic dish into something special. The carbonara was so rich- charcoal home made pasta with egg, pecorino, and lots of guanciale!!! Lick the plate good! And cocktails not to be missed! A whole show!!

Came here with a party of 40 and ate in the back room. Everything was so terrific. I could have eaten that pasta in bolognese for days on end. Definitely need to come back here!

The spaghetti alla Sophia Loren was our favorite! We were told this was made for her 30th birthday and this is the only pasta they don't make in house: they import it from Italy. Our server's suggestion was to try it without the sauce before mixing it for two different experiences. The flavors in just the pasta cooked in the tomato sauce alone were fantastic...and this is coming from a self proclaimed sauce aficionado! The carbonara al carbone was unique with the charcoal pasta which had crunchy little bits in the already al dente pasta. It actually ended up being quite saucy after a good mix of the egg yolk and parm. The rigatoni al coniglio was our least favorite. The rabbit was like chicken and the entire dish was way too salty. The crusty bread with garlic topping is divine. They do charge $2/pp for that and water! I love how they automatically split the pasta dishes for us when we told them we were sharing. Shout out to Brayant for the excellent service! 3.5 stars for the food 4.5 stars for the service 4 stars overall

Service was on point; it took a minute for water to arrive, but once it arrived everything else fell into place. There were drinks, from old fashions, mojitos, apple martini. Then there were appetizers: starting with 'pasta frita con prosciutto', octopus, polenta & an order of the brisket done as a meatball - just scrumptious all around. Finally the mains: 2 orders of the branzino, the ravioli, several orders of the braised short rib, 'Fusilli Michelangelo', I might be missing someone's meal. Again, just devine. My plate the 'Fusilli Michelangelo' was a tad too spicy, no worries I trade with hubby for the braised brisket - on my goodness, just melted in my mouth! Lastly the desserts, an order of the homemade donuts, 'Zeppole', please bring the wheel barrel around; screaming yummy . The ambience casual, as in nice jeans, shirt. A bit loud. We shall return, maybe not all 7 of us, but definitely me!

Amazing Italian food with rich history from a great chef. We actually met with the current Exec Chef Alex prior to our seating and he gave us a good history of his career and Chef Michael's. Our server Murphy had some great stories about the history of his career in restaurant in Napa as well as about Bottega. Food was phenomenal. We order ALOT of food. Great starters. Probably 4-5 apps. Great pasta dishes. Probably close to almost all on the menu. Great cocktails. Unfortunately no room for dessert.

Bottega in Napa Valley delivered an unforgettable dining experience! The Daily Raw Fish (Hamachi with caviar and ponzu) was a perfect, delicate start with bold flavors. The Pasta Fritta con Prosciutto was wonderfully crispy and savory, a real treat! The standout for me was the Ricotta Gnocchi della Nonna--the "pillows" were so light, and the old hen tomato sauce was divine. Lastly, the Raviolo with its rich farm egg yolk and truffled brown butter was pure indulgence. Highly recommend! A must-visit for any food lover!

Bottega is awesome. We had an excellent lunch there comprising gluten-free calamari for an appetizer, while my wife had a gluten-free Bolognese, and I had the rigatoni with rabbit, which was magical. Additionally, the calamari was tantalizingly tasty, meticulously battered and fried to perfection. From the libation end, the Negroni cocktails were fabulous and meticulously well-made. My wife and I ordered the Negroni Royale and Pink Panther, which were gorgeous not only in taste but also in presentation. Additionally, the Negroni Spritz was another standout within their cocktail roster. We savored each sip, which was a nice contrast to all the wine we sampled and tasted on our trip to the vineyards thus far. Our server, Brian, was incredibly friendly and patient with us and provided recommendations if we were undecided on certain items, especially those that could be gluten-free. Their dining room is quite dark and luxurious, with brick walls and black drapes. The ambiance created allowed for a very intimate lunch experience in contrast to the bright, sunny skies outside. We would return in a heartbeat.

back after a long time. bread still rocking with parmesan garlic oregano red pepper flake olive oil dip. pastas classic like truffle fries and calamari, Carbonara al Carbone with black fettuccine, Polpo alla Griglia ok cooked a little long. Costolette di Manzo smoked and braised short rib in espresso agro-dolce, creamy ancient grain polenta with Calabrian peperonata was ok Insalatina di Cavoletti di Bruxelles - Shaved brussels sprouts with whole meyer lemon dressing, Marcona almonds, sieved egg and Pecorino Romano

Came here for lunch to celebrate my birthday! Received a sweet touch of a handwritten card that was placed on our table. I am sad to have to rate Bottega a 2.5 but rounding up to 3 and here's why: - Attentive service, super friendly staff - We sat outside on a beautiful Sunday, but of course there were flies. Not the restaurants fault though. - We ordered the burrata, burger, raviolo, shrimp pasta, zeppole and tiramisu. Burrata was delicious! Burger and shrimp pasta were good but nothing to rave about. Sadly I found a piece of metal in my raviolo. At first I thought it was a piece of stem from the sage in the dish, but alas it was something that was silver - not as thin as foil, but pliable and sharp. The donuts were really yummy, the tiramisu was okay. Would maybe come back to sit inside and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. But the food is just okay.

Hubby and I were looking for a nice restaurant for our babymoon without spending too much and discovered this fine dining restaurant! We both ordered the Grilled "Short rib" Cheeseburger, mine well-done for pregnancy and his medium rare. One of the best burgers I ever had! The meat is nice and tender, topped with mouthwatering truffle oil, fresh produce and nice melty cheese on a grilled semolina bun! It's served with nice crispy fries and delicious Parmigiano on top! Bread came complimentary to the table with the most AMAZING spread I ever had! Our sweet, helpful server mentioned the spread is made with mouthwatering parmigiano, olive oil, basil and chili flakes! I would HIGHLY recommend this small business! In 2008 award winning Chef Michael Chiarello opened his restaurant! Find him on Food Network! We'll be returning for celebrations and get togethers to try more of their drool-worthy menu! SYOY! :-) *Music: Midnight Fever by AI Music

Our server was very attentive and quick! The entrance is in the back if you are a first timer. The food was great! We had the special pork chop, carbonara, and grilled octopus. Our daughter had the Parmesan Truffle fries and kids pasta. The fries were amazing! Then we ended with the lava cake with vanilla bean gelato. Such a wonderful dinner for early Father's Day! This place is definitely kids friendly too! The restaurant had a chill evening summer vibe with background music. The patio was filled with people enjoying their cocktails. My husband had an Old Fashion, while I enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford).

This place had the best truffle fries I've ever had. To this day, I'm still drooling thinking about it. It was so crispy and not greasy. Just amazing with the perfect level of truffle oil and Parmesan. This is a perfect date night restaurant. The place is quiet and romantically lit with gorgeous plating for their food. Highly recommend!

I love Bottega and have been here several times. The food was always amazing, though this time around it seemed a little bit less impressive. The place was not as kept up as it has been in the past. Service was great though.

We went here for dinner and arrived as walk ins on a Sunday night of the long weekend. We were seated immediately and were able to enjoy the evening on the outdoor patio. This restaurant is on the Estate and the space is quaint and lovely to walk around. The staff were friendly and attentive. We got the burrata which was a fresh start to the meal. I had the spaghetti alla Sophia Loren which was a simple but had great flavour. I was happy with the portion size since it was not too heavy. My fiance got the rigatoni al coniglio which was much heavier. The flavour was lovely and rich and the rabbit was tender. To finish, we had the lychee sorbet which was very smooth and light and had a great lychee flavour. I'd love to return and try their other pastas!

What better way to end a girls wine tasting day than a delicious dinner?! We ordered the squid pasta, rabbit pasta, and a T-bone steak. As expected, the rabbit is a bit gamey so if you're not a fan of that, would suggest trying something else. The service was amazing and everyone was very tentative. Would love to come back and try other dishes!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant in Yountville, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We sat out on the patio, surrounded by a beautiful environment that enhanced our dining experience. The service was impeccable, and it was evident that the servers genuinely love their job. They treated everyone with the utmost respect, including each other, and worked together seamlessly. The food quality was outstanding, with perfect ingredients used in every dish. The brussels sprout salad was particularly refreshing and delicious. Opting for appetizers only turned out to be a fantastic choice; we ended up completely full by the end of the meal, enjoying a variety of flavors from the menu's smaller portions. I can't wait to visit this restaurant again!

When I'm in the area, I often end up at Chef Chiarello's other restaurant, Coqueta, but on this visit I decided to branch out. This was a lovely lunchtime dining experience. We were able to get a table outside on the patio and everything was just perfect. We started with the daily crudo special that is served on a big salt rock. Then we had the Cesar salad which comes with this amazing black garlic. I had the short rib that had an amazing hint of espresso in it. The ravioli was also out of this world! The wine selections were also great.

This was a fun find for us. The nearby neighboring property is being completely remodeled so all adjacent tenants have been moved. Bottega is an Italian full-service restaurant that has a nice following. We had the shaved Brussels, tagliarini bolognese, and wood grilled octopus. Our server made many suggestions since this was our first time. All items were nicely Italian flavored. The server was extremely helpful and made our dinner special. Ambiance is classical elegance created by tables and linens topped with white butcher paper. The back servers brought us clean share plates and fresh silverware between courses. The level of service they provided is hard to find at restaurants today. We truly felt like royalty. We strongly recommend you give Bottega a try.

I love this place, I've been there a few times. Every time I try a new dish I never regret it.

I love that this place takes big group reservations. Came here twice for bachelorette parties. First time I think it was a group of 8 and the second time a group of 10. I had to change my reservation party size and move up the reservation time and the hosts accommodated. Very friendly service and attentive. The waiter offered to take pictures for us and allowed us more time to decide what to order. I'd definitely recommending sharing dishes so you can try everyone and get a taste of the artistry of the menu. My favorites were the chicken, octopus, a beef dish. The rest were very good but not as memorable. The bread and the garlic dip were absolutely amazing. We could not get enough of it. Highly recommend. Big restaurant with great ambiance.

Updating and reflecting Mario the manager came over and was apologetic and offered desert. I appreciate that but the evening was ruined and I expected more from the restaurant. We were seated in a cozy area just for couples which was nice. The shaved Brussels sprouts were a great appetizer. Citrus dressing and refreshing acidity. Steak was inedible and overcooked then Undercooked. Disappointing Great service from the young lady who served us. One of the worst steaks I have ever had - NY steakhouse price at roadside diner quality ----------------- Wrote this last night.... Diner style porterhouse at top steakhouse prices. I am writing this as fast as I can to help diners. AVOID THIS FOOD ITEM Definitely one of the most disgusting overpriced steaks I have ever had. returned the first steak as it was overcooked. Second was undercooked and inedible. How disappointing.

I am a regular visitor, however I have noticed recently despite the great and delicious food. The service has been weak. It seems like there is a shortage of staff specially during the weekend.

For a well known restaurant in Napa, Bottega was disappointing. Server forgot to give us bread and when we asked for it, she just realized it then. Food came out pretty late and a bit bland. The saving grace was the sorbet. Bathroom is also not properly maintained.

Another perfect meal! Arriving after just having put our Christmas tree on the curb, was glad to see the tree still up and Holiday like in wine country still. We were lead to the warm belly of the main dining room. Had a nice waiter who was a friend of Michael's for over 30 years. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Shared the pear salad with my husband for starter, it was baby arugula w a few pieces of endive and radicchio, candied walnuts and a sweet chilled dressing almost reminds me of Poppyseed dressing- and pears. Very good choice! I did share in the kids Truffle fries- not oily or overly truffled- i mainly took advantage the fried pieces of sage in there! Delicious. My main was the Special risotto of the night- saffron infused risotto with seared scallops (a little salty but perfect actualy- no other salt)- found myself coming back for that bite of seasoning). Everyone was stiffed from the bread and their meals but i pushed on for a sweet bite- there were 3 i couldnt choose from but the waiter said you'll want the Zeppole- donuts -naming one of the 3 in my head, with Hazelnut cream inside i think, and laid on a plate smeared of apple butter. Delicious! Everyone partook and they were all gone! Wasn't overly stuffed or anything it literally was a perfect meal of many different flavors. We have always come here and it's as delicious as always.

We were a party of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids ages 4-11). We made reservations for 5 pm. The host and bus boy/man were rude, but because the waiter was so nice it even out the service experience. The dining area was nice, but the music was a bit loud so it was hard to hear across the table. The food lived up to its expectations. Calamari - perfection. order two of these Truffle fries - large portion for the whole group, fresh and crisp Brussels sprouts - good but not amazing Fresh house bread and garlic sauce - Delicious and a hit with the kids Shrimp pasta (pictured) - Roasted shell was edible to eat and would order again Mushroom pasta - Really good Overall a good experience, delicious good and great company. Zepolle - Small fluffy donut-wholelike that is sharable for 2

Food Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren 4/5 A dish as sophisticated as it sounds, the flavors are LOUD. The smell of basil washed over me as it arrived at table which I would normally swoon over (call me basil bae) but the salt was applied heavy handedly. I was a bit disappointed as the spaghetti would have been perfect had it not been so salty. Al dente pasta. No protein. It is still worth trying. Scallop Risotto 4.5/5 Tenderest scallops! Risotto cooked nicely. Coming in more expensive than the branzino, I had raised expectations and it delivered. Ricotta gnocchi 4/5 Pillows describe the gnocchi perfectly. Ricotta is smooth. Red sauce paired nicely. Service Coperta cover charge per person. Servers kept our beverages full and cleaned the tables expeditiously, attentive and friendly. I love how there's outdoor seating year around in these odd times we're living in. Large lot for parking.

We were booked for the event room. Not sure what happened, but we were a couple seats short and in the end, we were crammed tightly around the table. Not a good start. We had a set menu which was fine. Brussels salad was delicious and gnocchi was good. The NY steak was regrettable and tough. Equipped with only a butter knife, I simply could not cut it, let alone eat it. The chocolate dessert was grainy and had a strange flavor and texture. Didn't get past the first nibble. Not sure I would return since there are so many other amazing restaurants in town.

We'd wanted to try Bottega for a long time, and weren't disappointed after finally getting a chance. The space is so warm and comfortable. It's pretty much what you expect when you're in wine country. Cocktails were very good, and not overly expensive. This was the last night of our vacation and we'd pretty much had enough wine to last us awhile, so we opted out. But, the wine by the glass options were plentiful and very reasonably priced. Service was polished, but maybe a bit rushed; the meal was very quick, but dishes didn't come out on top of each other. We would have preferred to linger a bit between course. My wife had the Carbonara prepared with a charcoal fettuccine. She's usually not that adventurous, and kind of a Carbonara-snob, but she did like this dish a lot. I had the Gnocchi, which was lighter than any I've had before. Each piece literally melted in my mouth, and the simple tomato sauce was perfect for the dish. For dessert, we had the Zeppoles, which were more like a cross between doughnut holes and Zeppole St. Joseph; meaning that they were lighter than the typical fried pizza dough offered on the East Coast and filled with lightly sweet custard. All in all, a very good meal, and not particularly pricey given the area. We'd definitely go again.

Not sure what the hype was about, I have had better Italian food. Pasta was little dry, Ambience service was good. Among the deserts I loved the tiramisu.

We couldn't have enjoyed our dinner more. We ordered more than we could finish, but it allowed us all to sneak a bite or two of several dishes. They were all so good, but a few stood out to me. After taking a first bite of the Pasta Fritta con Prosciutto, I wanted the rest off everyone else's plate and runaway. The gnocchi is a must-order. My wife and I agreed it was better than the gnocchi we'd had in Rome - and we loved the gnocchi in Rome. The couple bites of the Tagliarini Bolognese al Centro convinced me I'm getting it on a future visit. For the secondi, I went with the Pollo alla Diavola. Juicy, tender, and flavorful, it was a perfect pairing with the gnocchi. The young woman who served us was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive without hovering, and she made so many great suggestions. Without her, the evening wouldn't have been as special. We really didn't notice how nice the place was until after we finished. We were so distracted by the menu and then the food; one thing we did notice was that despite happy conversations going on all around us, the acoustics were such that we had no problem having our on conversation.

Bottega had delicious pasta, but especially delicious polenta! The rabbit rigatoni was a favorite for us - the rigatoni was thick and al dente and the sauce was delicious. The rabbit was also in large pieces, so if you're afraid of it you can pick around and give it to someone else. We sat on the patio when it was pouring and raining, but we were still extremely comfortable. The patio is fully enclosed by a tarp like material and they have many heaters, as well as many lamps. This place was pricey but delicious and we would definitely be back here!

If I could give 100 stars, I would. Each bite of each dish left me speechless. No favorites as everything was amazing! Worth every dime. Best scallops I ever had, risotto was creamy and the ravioli was rich. Our server took his time with us and made great suggestions on specials of the days. I can't wait to go back!

The waitstaff were super helpful and patient as we were on a girl's weekend trip bent on gossiping whilst dining out. The food was intensely yummy and the atmosphere posh yet comfortable. Highly recommend the shrimp pasta and the carbonara pasta. Just to die for. Their cocktails are served beautifully. If alcohol is not your jam, they also have great cocktails!!

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Napa region! The food is outstanding, and it's clear that the chef has put a lot of thought and care into every detail, from the incredible flavors to the beautiful presentation of each dish. The service was truly exceptional! Our server went above and beyond by surprising our birthday party with a complimentary dessert, adding a thoughtful and memorable touch to our celebration.

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had such a good time! We were a party of 13 people, and they did such a great job of accommodating us. We sat outside, but had plenty of warmth from the heaters. We loved the dim lighting and intimate feel of their outdoor seating. And the service was spectacular! Our server was attentive, animated, and very kind, even with our big group. He also was able to split our checks with no problem at all! Now, on to the food. Um, DELICIOUS. My husband ordered the raviolo, which was super creamy and rich -- a very decadent way to enjoy your dinner! I ordered the bolognese which was amazing! It was so well seasoned, filling, and just the right portion size. Some honorable mentions from the table were the carbonara and the braised short ribs as well. Such a great place to gather and share a meal. Definitely a must try in Yountville!

Weekend trip to Napa/Yountville consists of eating at delicious restaurants so of course I had to give this place a try. We didn't make a reservation but was immediately seated around 1pm on a Sunday. I was excited to try their pasta and it didn't disappoint. I ordered bolognese and my husband ordered the fusilli. They were both extremely flavorful and had the perfect amount of sauce. I saw a lot of positive reviews about their Panna Cotta, so I had to order it for dessert. The vanilla cream was creamy and the shortbread gave the entire dessert a nice texture. Our server was very friendly and I loved their interior decor. I would come back to try other items on their menu.

Date of Visit: 12/31/2023 The last dinner we had in the year 2023 is the Italian restaurant in the little town of Yountville. We stayed in Hotel Yountville for the New Year Eve, and we decided to visit the Italian restaurant opened by acclaimed Chef Michael Chiarello, which he brings together the best of Italy and Napa Valley to Yountville in Napa Valley. We made a reservation few days before, and the restaurant was almost full by the time we visited. Bread The bread is the San Francisco famous sour bread with olive oil and garlic sauce. Warm and soft on the inside and crispy outside. Fusilli alla Tra Vigne $25 Husband got the spiral pasta with Shitake mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, spicy tomato sauce. It is a little spicy but the sauce mixed very well with the spiral pasta and all the vegetables. Solo Shrimp Pasta $28 I got the shrimp pasta with the house made Chitarra pasta, and on top there is fresh basil and four huge Gulf prawns. Tiramisu' alla "Tra Vigne" $14 For dessert, since I am a big fan of tiramisu, so I decided to get the Tiramisu' alla "Tra Vigne". This is made with Devil's Food cake with layers of Mascarpone mousse and a cocoa-dusted milk chocolate shell. It is very sweet and not a traditional Tiramisu.

First time in this part of California and we decided to stop here! My sister and her Fiance love Italian food so we decided that this was a good fit! For starters, the restaurant is beautiful. It has a rustic, intimate setting, perfect for dates, gatherings, work lunch, etc. Service was on point and very helpful. I ended up getting the risotto (the type depends on the season). This happened to be scallop risotto. I cleaned my plate! It was so good! If you're not into a creamy texture, I wouldn't get this, but if you are, this dish is for you! We ended the night with the tiramisu cake, really good, definitely a must try!

The service was great at this restaurant and so was the ambience. We were give great service, patience with our indecisions, as well as accommodations to seat us in a semi private area for our special celebration luncheon. The food was great!! Everything we tried was amazing. My favorite was the short rib. Highly recommend checking this restaurant out if you're in the area.
