Ristorante Allegria

Loved this place. Food was great. Loved they have Fortaleza tequila family here as well. A bit expensive @ $35/shot, but the Anejo is def worth it. Meant to ask if they do tequila tastings but forgot to ask.

Definitely delicious 🤤 I got there late around 8:30pm, it’s time to say goodbye lol I heard the song The food 🥘 was delicious and great quality, my bf love the dessert very much , the carb cake was okkk so so Definitely will be there again soon

Food: 100% recommending Lasagna from this place. I’m usually very easy to get tired of the thick taste of cheese but this one makes me want to finish the whole thing! The lavender orange crème brûlée is tasty as well. They have fewer choices of glass wine to choose from but the collection of bottle wine is amazing. Service: staff is nice and welcoming even the Valentine’s Day weekends are busy and it was a full house. Ambiance: this restaurant used to be an old bank building and we’re sitting in more like half outdoor patio seat. The atmosphere is nice; good for couple or elegant friend and family gatherings.

The fried fennel in the calamari pile was delicious!! I loved it. Service was super quick and reminded me of the stellar service we tried to give when o used to work at a fancy steakhouse—think waiters going around to refill your water before you need it, and bussing as soon as they can. The bread pudding wasn’t my fave, but the creme brulee was wonderful! The pasta was perfectly cooked for the shrimps in saffron

Great Italian spot in the heart of Napa downtown! The vibe is warm and welcoming. The food was delicious — fresh ingredients and great flavors all around. Definitely a place worth stopping by if you're craving good Italian in a cozy, stylish setting.

Mother/daughter trip to Napa. Mother’s Day evening we were looking for a light meal and happened upon Ristorante Allegria. The Caesar salad and skirt steak satay were delicious and filling. The bread at the table with the dipping oil was so good! The atmosphere and gorgeous setting made for a special meal.

Sat at the patio for dinner. It was nicely heated and comfortable. Great vibe for date nights and special occasions. Highly recommend the mushroom ravioli and the rigatoni con salsiccia. The muscle appetizer (cozze) was ok, but have had better and probably wouldn't order it again.

Had the chicken parmigiana. And apple crisp for dessert. Everything tasted good

Ate here for the first time, for an anniversary. Let me start by saying how super appreciative I was at how accommodating all of the staff members were in dealing with my food allergies. They make excellent cocktails. The food was delicious and generously portioned. We were so full we could only split a dessert. We look forward to going here again and venturing the pasta and dessert menu some more. The seating is well spaced and they have plant and giant wine bottles as dividers between neighboring tables.

Had a great dinner experience! Service: Excellent! We didn't have a reservation, but they seated us right away. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us multiple times. Space: The ambiance was intimate with soft, dim lighting -- felt very romantic Food: Delicious! I had the Spaghetti Pomodoro with grilled chicken, and it was amazing. The Penne con Pollo was also excellent. The portions were generous and left us feeling satisfied. Entertainment: A talented older gentleman played the accordion, and it really set the tone/ mood for the evening. I overheard he's been playing for 60-70 years! It was smooth and definitely added to the Italian vibe. Parking: Free street parking available I highly recommend this place for a night out!

Beautiful decor, super friendly service (when they were around), delicious and nicely presented food. We loved everything except for the lack of attention. We were the forgotten ones outside. :( We might've had better service if we stayed inside the tented patio area but wanted to sit along the exterior, away from the noise and to enjoy the nice breeze. The breeze we did enjoy as we were left without wine and straws for quite a while. Water came out first, we asked for straws for the water and I put my wine order and appetizers in. My friend wanted to taste 2 wines in which our server brought out promptly. When she was ready to order her wine, no server in sight. Then our appetizers were brought out by a different person. Asked for straws again ... I was happy bc I had my wine with our appetizers but no wine for her. We were almost done with our appetizers when our server finally appeared again in which we inquired on her wine. I would be upset to not have my wine as I'm eating, quite unacceptable. They finally brought her wine and the straws as they were clearing our appetizers before bringing out our entree. Loved the calamari, mac n cheese arancini and Linguine Frutti Di Mare. Hats off to the kitchen, the food was perfect! I'd definitely go back bc of the food and hopefully service is improved. Btw: Please trash some of your old plates, not a good look at all when the table setting has plates with dark markings and lines on them. We had to ask for clean plates.

In a recent trip to downtown Napa, my friend and I walked past this unassuming restaurant. We decided to stop in for a bite to eat and were immediately greeted with an upscale, dim atmosphere. The food: 11/10. To be fair, we only tried one dish: fusilli bolognese but it was absolutely delicious. The meat to pasta ratio was perfect and the bolognese was creamy yet light. I also ordered a blood orange martini which was pretty good. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive.

It's located in the heart of Napa in downtown. There's public parking behind the Kohls nearby. The architecture is beautiful. It was actually an old bank that was converted. They even have a room In a vault which was interesting to see. I took a quick video of it as I passed by to our seat. We didn't have reservations but were seated rather promptly. We were sat upstairs in a room. It had a view of the plaza to the left of it. Our server was patient and pleasant while we looked over the menu. He brought us waters and gave us time to order. We ordered appetizers that included calamari, pear arugula salad, and bruschetta. All tasted great and fresh. I learned all pastas are made in house and I must say, I really enjoyed my dish. It had sausage and the sauce was close to a vodka sauce. The name is on the picture I posted, I don't recall the Italian name of the dish, sorry. Overall, great experience, service and food. I recommend this place for Italian.

Ristorante Allegria was voted local favorite in 2024 and I can see why. Located in a historic building in downtown Napa, you can definitely feel its charm. If you don't have a reservation, you would be seated outside in the patio. If it's not windy and raining, the space heaters do a great job of keeping you warm so I wouldn't let this deter you from dining here. As for the food we split a clam linguine, and a salad. Both were solid, nothing extraordinary and nothing out of the ordinary. I can see why a local would love it here because its dependable and consistent. As for the dessert we got the apple tart with vanilla gelato and caramel sauce. This right here was the pleasant surprise for the evening. Its super addicting. Overall I still recommend Ristorante Allegria if you are craving Italian food in downtown Napa.

===TL;DR=== - Dungeness crab cakes - Pappardelle allo zafferano - Linguine con le vongole - Tiramisu ===TMI=== Ahhhh-mazing handmade pasta. Crab cakes are to die for as always. Spectacular ambience that feels inviting and warm. Staffs were attentive and friendly. Pasta you ask? Cooked to the perfect texture and flavors. Simple palate yet fresh clams or rich, thicccc and saucy in every bite - you choose. They have inside and outside seating with heaters. The building itself looks beautiful. To end your meal, divulge in a generous slice of tiramisu. That's all.

We loved dining here. The table they reserved for us was way too small for our large men.. they were so gracious in finding us the perfect booth for us to really enjoy our dinner. Beautiful atmosphere with very attentive service. We brought a bottle from a previous tasting , I think the corkage was around 25 maybe more... you should call The have a great wine list as well. The food is comfy and plentiful , music , lovely... Large restaurant with upstairs dining as well. Parking is street, not an issue. In downtown, very convenient to all the shops

We throughly enjoyed our dinner. We had a large party for my Mom's birthday plus it was in the middle of the light festival. So super busy. But they did a great job. The food and service was amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing amazing Italian restaurant, food out of this world the Bronzino incredible, fettuccine is all a vodka with prawns, and the prawns are huge. And Erika took care of us. I would come back for sure. By the way, the dip was like crack also, the place is authentically Italian.

We had not visited Ristorante Allegria for a while. The food and service improved since we last visited for lunch. The pasta is al dente and fresh. I love that they use a lot of butter, garlic, chopped tomatoes, cream, purees, or infusions of vegetables, beans, or other whole foods. It means they are not skimping on the real ingredients that make a dinner out on the town decadent. We enjoyed our meals: 1. PAPPARDELLE ALLO ZAFFERANO. Fresh Handmade Saffron Pasta, Prawns, Wild Mushrooms, Finished With Roasted Shrimp Bisque 2. PORK PICCATA. Pork Tenderloin Scallopini served over Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sauteed Spinach finished with Piccata Sauce 3. WILD MUSHROOM RAVIOLI. Fresh Handmade Ravioli, Wild Mushrooms, Fresh Tomatoes, Spinach, Light Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce. 4. Special of the Day: Seafood Ravioli: Lobster The bread pudding is delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Some locals say they come here after work, after a hard day, and order "just this item" at the bar. That good. We will be back. No pics. We were very hungry.

Had a great time here! Service was excellent (Mario) and the food was great. The food came out very quickly - hardly any wait time at all, on Friday evening. The drinks were very good. The restaurant is in an old bank so the atmosphere is very cool with the high ceilings and mood lighting. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant in Napa. Lovely patio setting (indoor is also available), friendly and efficient service, excellent food, and a great location in downtown Napa. We look forward to returning next time we are in Napa Valley.

Being that there are over 2000 reviews, this one will probably get lost in the mix. However, here's my honest review the service was outstanding. There's no question about that. The ambience was nice. The food was not worth the price tag. I've had better carbonara for much cheaper, don't get me wrong it was good. The price tag ($26!!!) did not reflect the taste it I would pay maybe 1 $16-$18. The Zafferano ($29) was yummy however, needed some seasoning and perhaps some red chili flakes. The burata ($18) was good as well. All in all I know it's because it's located in downtown Napa truthfully I won't be coming back. I can find pasta better in my hometown.

Wow, we were amazed how tasty the food was! We ordered mussels mushroom polenta crab cakes short ribs and gnocchi. They were all very flavorful. Nothing was bland. The atmosphere, even the music was the greatest! Our server Icela was extraordinary. Service was top notch! Thank you guys for such a beautiful evening

I visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago when I was in Napa for the weekend. First time trying the restaurant, it was crowded but it had a great vibe to it. Service was very good and the 2 items that stood out to me were the Tiramisu and Chicken Parmesan. Both were some of the best I've ever had. My guest had a sausage ravioli which she didn't care too much for the sausage but she loved the pasta. Overall a great experience.

12/15/23 Ristorante Allegria is an Italian restaurant located in downtown Napa. Zach and I made a reservation for two out on the patio since they are a dog friendly establishment. We parked about a block away and checked in 10 minutes early, and were seated right away. The outdoor patio has ample shade coverage. We noticed right away how polite and courteous the staff are and Coco was also given a waterbowl right away. As we settled in to peruse the menu, our waiter served us bread and an olive oil concoction. I say concoction because I'm not sure what else was in it, but it tasted damn good when we dipped the bread in it. Here's what we got: - Tagliatelle alla bolognese (his) - Lobster ravioli (mine) - Mussels to share The mussels came out in less than 10 minutes. I didn't care much for the bread since it was too crunchy for my taste, but the mussels were so good! The pasta dishes came out not too long after. The pasta looked super fresh (as in made in-house and not store bought) and overall smelled delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the lobster ravioli also had large prawns included. The ravioli was stuffed full with lobster. Zach commented that his pasta dish tasted really good as well, but wished that there was more meat that came with it. I was debating whether to get dessert or not, but I gave in to my sweet tooth desire and got myself an Apple Berry fruit crisp that came with a generous scoop or vanilla bean gelato. The fruit crisp itself was warm and it slowed melted the gelato on top. I would definitely return to this location for another meal! It's a great place with delicious food and 10/10 service.

Great food and the atmosphere was on point for the weekend. The service was definitely attentive.

Went here for a Napa girls date and stumbled upon this beauty while walking around! The food is absolutely delicious and is on the pricey side. If you're used to bigger portions and want more bang for your buck I don't recommend going here as the portions are on the smaller side. If you're not too much of a big eater like myself I think you will enjoy this! This place is family friendly and offers great custom service! Expect to spend $$$ if you would like to order more dishes to get full!

Ambiance - beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Prefer indoor. Food - not over priced, good sized dishes, the weekday lunch specials are a good deal where you get a soup or salad, entree, and a house-made sorbet. The fried Calamari appetizer is very good, the Wagyu burger is excellent and prepared as requested, the pastas were all tasty and large - you'll likely take it home. Service - prompt and professional. The only suggestion is that the bus person was too anxious to clear dishes as not everyone was finished and he would take plates away as people finished which was not all at the same time. It's ok to let people talk and eat and not rush during a quiet weekday lunch. Overall, worth going to for a meal! Relaxing atmosphere, good food and service.

Food, service, ambience are very good! Can get busy on Fridays and Saturdays, so I would recommend reservations. Very nice selection of Napa wines!

This was our first time at Allegria and we really enjoyed it! The restaurant was very busy when we arrived but we had a reservation and were seated quickly and had a great view of the entire establishment. Their menu selection is very well rounded with all the amazing Italian dishes you could imagine. We all (our table was a total of four) ordered a different dish and shared. There was not one dish I would not order again and we can't wait to return!

Spent an afternoon in Napa with some ladies, and looked for a place to eat. Upon entry the restaurant was clean and inviting. But nobody greeted or helped for a few minutes. We opted to sit outside which was nice since there's shade and there was a nice breeze. We got a few lunch specials of the bolognese and chicken with penne which comes with salad and raspberry sorbet. For appetizers we got bruschetta and mussels. Bread and dip came free which was fresh and delicious. You won't like it though if you aren't an onion fan. I think the mussels were my favorite dish of the bunch as it was incredibly flavorful, full bodied and cooked to perfection. The staff seemed friendly and overall it was a good experience. I only rated this a 4 for the initial wait even though it wasn't busy, the penne with chicken dish was just okay, and a big wind gust blew the curtain crashing peoples glasses onto the guests & tables - staff response was not either immediacy. Overall, I would visit this establishment again. It well located and the mussels really were that good!

My friends and I visited this place during our Napa trip. The aesthetics were nice, and the waiters were friendly. We tried a variety of items: - Calamari Fritti (served with roasted bell pepper-chipotle aioli) - Skirt Steak Satay (served over sautéed spinach and onion rings) - Penne Con Pollo (penne pasta with marinated free-range chicken breast, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet corn, chipotle-basil sauce) - Linguine Con Le Vongole (Manila clams, red chili flakes, fresh basil, butter, garlic, white wine) - Rigatoni Con Salsiccia (rigatoni pasta with grilled Italian sausage, bell pepper, Parmesan cheese, light cream marinara sauce) - Pappardelle Allo Zafferano (fresh handmade saffron pasta, prawns, wild mushrooms, finished with roasted shrimp bisque) - Linguine Fruitti De Mare (fresh mixed fish, clams, mussels, prawns, and spicy marinara sauce) I particularly enjoyed the Skirt Steak Satay appetizer because the beef was tender. The Calamari Fritti also came with string beans. My favorite pasta was the Rigatoni Con Salsiccia for the Italian sausage and the light cream marinara sauce, while my least favorite was the Linguine Con Le Vongole, as it lacked some flavor. It's a bit pricey, but that's expected for a pasta place in Napa. Overall, it's a solid place with a nice vibe.

Allegria has always been a fam fav. Easy to get to in wine country, nestled in the heart of downtown Napa. However, this experience left us with less joy and satisfaction than the last few times we've been here. We called day of to get a reso for a table of 9, and we were accommodated swiftly. What was not appetizing was the service. We had asked two separate times for a refill of their complimentary bread and two other times for our water to be refilled. For a mandatory 20% gratuity we would expect not exceptional but at least good service. Our server did not check in on our table after our food came, not even a "how's everything tasting," or a generic "doing ok?" Just unfortunate, sometimes because it's a mandatory gratuity, there seems to be a loss of service. Pasta came out great, no complaints there. Everything came out piping hot & altogether. Appreciated that.

The good: -The ambiance (located in a former bank building) is quite striking--high ceilings and stately decor with a European feel. In that sense it's a nice place to spend some time. The folks who work here are very nice and pleasant. -The location is ideal--downtown and a short walk to the riverfront. Parking garage and lot around the corner, so that's covered too. The so-so: Food is not terrible, but not particularly memorable or outstanding (with one exception, see below). We had the caesar salad (okay but dry/uninspiring croutons), vongole (clams) linguine, and braised short ribs. Vongole sauce was nice. Short ribs stringy, salty, and on the dry side...not enough sauce to make it a little more moist. One of the small bread plates that was on the table when we sat down was actually so old it had a ring of dark stains around it that made it look dirty...was surprised to see that this detail wasn't spotted and taken care of beforehand. The one aforementioned exception to the above was the lavender and orange creme brulee. This tasted like the essence of the spring season on a plate, with both the orange and lavender tastes shining through. If you come here and feel like having dessert, give this one a try as it is unique and well executed. Bottom line: if you have to go to downtown Napa with not so adventurous eaters and need a pleasant/convenient place to eat dinner without breaking the bank, come here. Have only been here once, so maybe the other dishes are better! It's worth giving them a try.

Excellent. Excellent ambience, excellent service, excellent vibe, excellent location, excellent drinks, excellent appetizers, excellent main courses, excellent specials, excellent wine pairing upon request. Bonus: I have been searching for a pasta Pomodoro that I had in Miami a decade ago. They nailed it!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Great service. Amazing food, if I could choose something to eat for the rest of my life, I'd choose their meals. The restaurant is beautiful!

My friend and I popped into this restaurant on a busy Saturday night and only had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated. It was worth the wait even though we were exhausted from wine tasting all day. We were seated upstairs in a private corner which was cool. We didn't order any appetizers but I ordered the Linguine Frutti Di Mare and it came out piping hot. What a beautiful fish full of fresh seafood and made with the most yummy spicy marinara. I took my time but I ate it ALL! So freaking good! I also got the lavender and orange crème brûlée which was also delicious. I'm so glad we came as on our final night in Napa.

Very average fare for an area bustling with high quality restaurants and beautiful landscapes of vineyards. There is a good selection of menu items but no dishes stood out as a wow factors. Nobody said "Mmmmm!" during the meal and we certainly didn't take home any leftovers. Imho, the pastas were okay but definitely didn't impress anyone in the dinner party. I'll be in the area again I'm sure but probably won't visit here another time.

The pasta tasted delicious and the prawns were fresh. The only thing our group unanimously agreed on was their corn chowder was terrible. It tasted like water and corn, nothing about it was creamy or even similar to a chowder. I would recommend staying away from their soup. It is not worth the money. Their pasta in the other hand I might be tempted to come back and try the other pastas. The server was nice. We had dinner and got sat on the outside patio. The atmosphere was relaxing and we had a view of the street and can see all the classic cars drive by.

A wonderful romantic restaurant. We had a great time tonight in our special anniversary. The dinner started off with roasted oysters. Then we added burrata and tomatoes followed by salmon over Polenta and spinach. Service was great and the atmosphere is special. Some pictures here were from a previous dinner.

Ambiance: Too many people in hats, would consider it on the level of slightly elevated OG. Not good for a romantic date since there are much better options in Napa. More like a place you take your elderly parents who just want average Italian food. Service: Good, no issues Food: so-so. Bread wasn't warm, and they give you some mashed up red onion dip that was not good. Just offer butter. Main dishes were good but I wouldn't say they were elevated. But good. Price: way over priced for what you get. We live in Napa and pretty much everything in the area is a step above this place. Dessert: fruit one was good, chocolate mousse cake needs a complete revamp. Raspberry sauce was quite awful.

We go here every time we visit Napa. First off we Love the atmosphere. Second the service is impeccable. Third the food is outstanding we have always been pleased with the meals.

I have NO idea why people give this place so many good reviews? We just had dinner here. And I truly regret picking this place over the one across the street. Starting from COLD super market looking burrata that is the quality of a Deli dish. Some delis may even be able to whip up a better burrata to be honest. To the pasta dish to the spaghetti dish to chicken Parmesan. Everything was extremely disappointing. This place does not deserve all these misleading 4 star reviews. It's a street Italian mediocre place at best.

I have been here several times and every time it is always perfect! Staff, food, environment are wonderful! This review is for the cheesecake. Our first time ordering it and we loved it! Perfectly baked rich and thick NY cheesecake that paired delicious with wine! I am sure it will be on our table next time!

Was debating between 2 Italian spots across from each other and my selection did not disappoint. Lovely establishment, solid service and delicious food/wine!

Wonderful experience dining here. Ristorante Allegria has a wonderful ambience both inside and outside. We arrived on a chilly evening to meet a friend with our 2 dogs so we wanted to sit outside. We were immediately greeted by the hostess when we checked in and shown to the outside patio. We were the only people on the patio! The server came out quickly and immediately pulled 2 gas heaters close to the table and lit them up without us even asking. We brought a private bottle of wine and the corkage fee of $25 seemed reasonable and waived if you order a bottle off the menu. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer to share that was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the arugula salad to share and was perfect for 3 people. I ordered the mushroom ravioli. My husband ordered braised short ribs and our friend ordered the salmon over polenta. All 3 dishes were amazing. The service is attentive and even though we were the only ones seated outside were never left unattended. Definitely recommend stopping here. The loved our dogs too!

Service - 5/5 the service and attention detail were good here. Ambiance - Very neat and original restaurant with lots of charm and great music that wasnt too loud. Drinks - The pineapple cocktail was just ok, the blood orange cocktail was amazing, my favorite thing that I ordered. Appetizers - The crab cakes were really good! Enjoyed them thoroughly, as well as the mussels. Entree - The short rib was just okay, really dry and lacking flavor all around. The potatoes also lacked flavor, even salt, and the sauce on top was just as bland. The chicken pasta with corn was good if you like creamier pastas. We skipped dessert.

My friend loved this place, probably somewhere I would not pick but the food was good. The service was great and that's what I liked about this place. the atmosphere was nice and made me feel at peace. The food was good we had the pasta.

Phenomenal polenta. If you try nothing else on the appetizers, the mushroom polenta is like a little kiss of heaven. Great vibe, too.

Excellent evening at Ristorante Allegria. The food, the service, the setting were all first rate. The Allegria Manhattan was an excellent start. The carpaccio, pappardelle, and chicken parm were fantastic.

Decided to pop in on our last night in Napa - did not disappoint! The service was great, ambiance feels like you're stepping into Italy. Could not get enough of the bread service, the oil that came with it was amazing. Loved the linguine vongole, feel like you get great value here they don't skimp on the seafood. If you're looking for a great Italian place after wine hopping it's worth checking out.

We came here on a Friday night around 8:30 and were dotted pretty quick. The food was good! Chicken parm nice and crunchy and the vodka sauce was was really good. My son had the chicken parm with marinara sauce and was okay, their vodka sauce was really worth it. Didn't give it 5 because while the chicken and nice and hot, the pasta was like warm.

The food was delicious, good portion size. Waiters were attentive ,I will go definitely go back.

Food was tasty and service was good despite it being very crowded the night we went. Wished a little quieter but was very energetic environment as they were packed. By the end of dinner, it was more calm and relaxed.

Went here with a friend to get a bite. The restaurant is very lovely inside. The decor is really lovely. The waiter was friendly and took care of us. I had the shrimp bisque. That was pretty good. I also ordered the fruit de mare-seafood linguini. I let them know not to make it spicy. Which I was told was not a problem, but perhaps it was because my pasta was not very good. For the price of almost $40 it was a huge disappointment there was plenty of seafood, but it lacked flavor. The sauce tasted like plane tomato sauce out of a can. I was shocked and disappointed. I also had a sangria and I did not like it either . It's a shame because everything about the physical location was nice. I give them 3 stars because of the environment, the waiter and the shrimp bisque was good.

Came here for a birthday brunch. Food was great. Staff were friendly. Nice ambiance. Highly recommend to try.
