A warm and inviting experience with the personality of a Mediterranean hideaway. Chef Donna Scala's rustic fare incorporates local fruits, vegetables, meat and fowl into traditional fresh Italian dishes with her signature creative flair. Freshly baked breads local olive oil, beautiful salads, tasty appetizers an homemade pastas are inspired by bounty of Napa Valley. Main courses offer an array of regionally sourced and highest quality creations of chicken, steaks, burgers and seafood. The bar features hundreds of Napa Valley and Italian wines as well as a host of signature cocktails.

 

Donna and Giovanni enjoy their customers. When not in the kitchen or greeting guests at the front door, you will often find them enjoying conversation at their guests’ tables. This convivial attitude is infused in their service team that they consider to be the very best in the Valley.

 

Servers are friendly and courteous, attentive and efficient and always knowledgeable about our food and drink. And, because they are local professionals and not simply young kids passing through town, they “know” the Valley and can tell you what other places are worth a visit!
