I was overall disappointed. Our server was good but overall service was below par. Food was OK- nothing to speak about.

Our favorite restaurant in Napa. The menu is thoughtfully prepared, offering a wide variety of choices. The staff is friendly and attentive without being obtrusive.

It was a crowded Saturday afternoon but we were on the late side. They let us stay at the table for more than a couple of hours and I was very appreciative they did not rush us out.
Lyn
Never have we had a bad meal. Each dish is superb. I spent my 70th birthday party here with a group of six. Billy, our server was perfection. The side room is really noisy if there's another large party so it was hard to converse a bit.

The food has been exceptional—as always. It's such an Italian treat and gem to have in Napa Valley.

We've been to the restaurant a number of times throughout the years for dinner and lunch. There were five of us ordering two of the special pasta, one chicken, one gnocchi special and one branzino dish. The branzino and special pastas were delicious. The chicken was ho hum and the risotto was gummy and not prepared well. The house Cabernet was outstanding. The salads were all on point with the exception of the Caesar. I has asked for anchovies and the prep laid a single anchovy across the top of the salad. The salad was overdressed with a dressing which was unexceptional. All in all, the restaurant has lost some shine in our opinion. I can't say that I would recommend it at it's price point. There are many restaurants which provide better food.

Bistro Don Giovanni is a consistently terrific restaurant. Great food, excellent wine list, professional service. The food is served fresh and hot. We never feel rushed and always feel pampered.
Michelle
Always the best service and food. A must for any Napa visit. The Mandilli pasta always my favorite. Carlos was excellent-he was very engaging and professional. The expanded outdoor area is lovely and warm-even in January!

It was recommended to us and we enjoyed it. I loved the spaghetti with clams. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. I would return if visiting Napa.

Bistro Don Giovanni is most likely the BEST Italian restaurant in all of Napa Valley. The menu is extensive, the food and service are impeccable and the wine list is awesome. We eat at Don Giovanni's every time we visit Napa, without fail.
The food is classic, well-executed Italian, flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. Nothing feels overdone or showy, just really good dishes done right. Our server, Roberto, was the highlight. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, he made the experience feel easy and personal without being overbearing. His service added a lot to the night. Overall, Bistro Don Giovanni delivers exactly what you hope for: great food, great service, and an experience that feels effortless.

I've reviewed BDG many times before. As a local, I consider this restaurant a treasure. Appealing to locals as well as tourists. It's a great place to go any time of the year, but especially when weather allows an outdoor seating option.
Moshe
The food and service were great. I had the pork chop and my wife had the salmon. They were both perfect. The service was profession and fast. The sound was s little bit noisy. Great experience.
Tina
I'm a local Napian. This is my go-to place if you want great food and service. Never disappoints.

Fantastic restaurant with great food, atmosphere and service. This all happened on a Tuesday so I'm sure it's harder for them on weekends but they were great!
