"This long-standing Italian restaurant is on the outskirts of town, and has one of the best outdoor settings around, with vineyard views and a dramatic fountain that sits at the center of it all. Beyond the scenery, the real reason we’ve been coming here for years is the food: every dish is a home run, especially the homemade pastas (get the rigatoni bolognese), all of the pizzas, and caesar salad. This place is always packed, so it’s best to book ahead or plan on hanging out at the bar while you wait." - christina julian, lani conway, jasmine alexandra

"An Italian Classic in Napa Bistro Don Giovanniopened more than20 years ago andis stillamong themost popular Italian restaurants in Napa, meaning it can be downright impossible to get a table at the eatery unless you roll in late. Dishes include fritto misto, agnolotti with salmon and sweet pea cream sauce, and branzino poached in a tomato-garlic broth. Locals love Mamma Concetta's meatballs, the beet and haricot vert salad, and, when it’s on the menu, lasagna. Don Giovanni also has a sophisticated bar program that includes a number of specialty cocktails, as well as wine imported from Italy, and the attentive, old-school service is appreciated by patrons.The generous back patio has afountain and overlooks vineyards and a kitchen garden."
