Butterscotch pudding was Sooo yummy! Kids and pets are allowed. Great ambiance!

Dietary restrictions: The waiter or waitress asks you if you have any food allergies and then provide you with what options are available that fit your needs.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly saw families sitting at tables with children. There is a water fountain that kids can throw coins into in the middle of the outdoor section.

A Taste of Italy in Napa Valley

During my visit to this Italian restaurant in Napa Valley, I was absolutely impressed. The pasta I had was outstanding – perfectly cooked, al dente, with a rich, flavorful sauce that highlighted the quality of the fresh ingredients. It was a true delight, the kind of dish you’d expect only in Italy.

The service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always ready to meet our needs. They not only provided great service but also gave excellent recommendations, making the experience even more enjoyable.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy Italian charm that made the dining experience feel authentic and special.

If you’re looking for top-notch Italian cuisine in a beautiful setting, this restaurant is a must-visit – especially if you’re a pasta lover!

Definitely make this a stop on your Napa wine tour - great food and a great place to sober up a bit - even if you do end up ordering a bottle of wine with your lunch! The Capriccio was delightful, fresh and refreshing - even in 100-degree heat. And the steak will definitely help with the sobering you up part. The staff was amazing, noticing my steak was the wrong temperature before I had a chance to complain about it and a new one was there in a flash. The patio is the place to be - even in one of the hottest days of the year.

Amazing location, great prices, and fantastic service!
Ordered the insalata mixta, ravioli with lemon cream sauce, and margherita pizza… plus the table bread with olive oil. Would happily order all dishes again. Only disappointment was that we didn’t have enough room for dessert!
Special shout out to our server, Enrique. He was attentive, helpful with wine choices, and charismatic.

Bistro Don Giovanni is my go-to spot whenever I’m in Napa. The food is consistently amazing. I can’t recommend the margarita pizza and ravioli enough—both are absolute must-haves every time I visit.
The service is always friendly and attentive. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Bistro Don Giovanni is a place you don’t want to miss.

The service was terrible. We sat for 30 minutes without anyone coming to take our drink order. Three tables that were seated after us had already received their drinks and appetizers.

My friend chose to come here for a birthday lunch. Service was great. Everyone was super nice and attentive. My friend had the Alfredo and added on shrimp. She said it was pretty basic. I had the salmon and it lacked flavor as well. They did bring out a birthday sherbet which was nice but not very tasty either. Overall the food was ok just not very seasoned or worth the price to me.
