Clemente's Authentic Italian Take Out

Great food and friendly service!! Joanne, the owner is great! I haven’t had anything bad here. Been coming here for years with the family.

Clemente’s has been a traditional in our family since I can remember. The best most delicious comfort food you can eat year round. Whether you live in Napa or are just visiting this is a perfect take out meal. And now they have seating so you don’t have to wait until you get home to enjoy.

Same old Family Italian Kitchen. A Napa staple. Can’t get enough of this good stuff

I grew up going to the back door of the Depot restaurant to get Italian food to go and as a young man The Depot was where I would take a special date. The Depot is long gone but Clemente's is what's left of their family kitchen and I always stop here for malfatti and ravioli when I'm in Napa. Angie is Clemente's daughter and still serves up my favorite Italian food. There are a few tables there but it's set up to go. Next time I think I'll try the veal scallopini too. It was my favorite dish back at the Depot.
A Napa tradition for those in the know.

Just ordered 4 dozen Malfattis. So disappointed…
They tasted like uncooked dough balls. The sauce was shot, like it passed its prime a day ago.
The last time I went there I was so impressed with the food. Not this time, may not go back.

Savory deliciousness that makes your tummy happy! Malfattis, raviolis, garlic breads, pesto, gnocchi, perfected portions and their sauces are so good. I had the Malfatti which is an original creation, and truly trustworthy in satisfaction. Their sauces are legit. This is a fully-developed-flavors kind of magic. Prices are a still great... hallelujah Clemente's! Thanks for this reminder of what comfort food is supposed to be like!
On the Coombs Street side of the Riverpark Shopping Center, and they have a whole dedicated seating area now with the family history on the wall.
This is much better for customers than that itty-bitty downtown spot before- you can have a bit of elbow room and sit down. Sparkly clean.

One criticism; they should ditch those massive hedges in front because it is very obstructive landscaping and makes it hard to see the entrance. Otherwise, great experience!!!

Consistency is a big problem for this establishment. They’ve moved around at least a few times since and during covid, so location is always different than google maps.

I ordered a few different items including an Italian meatball sandwich for tonight’s dinner. Sauce is salty, lacks depth and is generic in taste. They must have changed cooks recently bc the sauce tastes like they added chipotle peppers to it bc it has a darker color to it and weird taste to it.

The sandwich was most disappointing - for $15, it was a soggy mess of bread, 2 small mangled meatballs and sauce that is on par with prego. This place is and has been going downhill. Avoid if you can.

I recently visited Clemente and had a lovely experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal. The food was delicious—simple yet full of flavor, and the portions were just right.

What really made the visit special was Joanne. She was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. Her service added a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a relaxed spot with great food and wonderful service, Clemente is definitely worth a visit!

I've been coming to the restaurant for Over 30 years. I always get the Malfatti. The Sauce is not always consistent in flavor. I ordered some just last night and I noticed the sauce was red in color when usually it's a deep orange. Also notice there was a tad more spice to it not hot but some spice. I could taste a flavor like a chili was put in it of some type. I'm on the fence if it is an improvement or not. But it definitely does not make me not want to return. I give this dish Before & After the changes a solid 4. It is just not something I can order all the time it is amazing to eat but then you get tired of it the next day. I probably order from them a handful of times a year.

I give the service a 2. The daughter that works there is always tooooooo pushy trying to get you to buy other dishes and other things. Last night when I ordered my food she offered me to buy bread 5 different times. She just makes the whole situation feel very awkward sometimes when I'm craving their dish I just don't go in because I don't feel like dealing with her. I have other friends that feel the same and sometimes we take turns going in for each other.

Any negative comments is not to discourage you to go, Just want you to be prepared for the service.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. This is a staple in my family and friends. I wish I lived closer to take advantage of the best Italian food you can get outside of Italy.

The malfatti is out of this world, everything is cook to perfection and the people are out right amazing. You absolutely must visit as this is the best place for authentic delicious and true Italian food.
