A fine Italian restaurant by any measure with surprisingly good calamari and affogato.
Italian restaurants are a dome a dozen in this part of the world, but Cook is doing far better than most. The menu was neatly varied, and everything we ordered was excellent.
The service was fine, but didn't really add anything to our experience, with similar notes for the ambiance.
Would be happy to return on account of the food alone though, and would recommend for any food-focused types out there.

Excellent place for lunch! This one is a just a perfect place to stop for lunch. Great drinks, food and wine, of course! Highly recommend and one of our favorites in St. Helena

We were told by locals to make sure and visit Cook while we were in town last week and it was hands down the best food we had all week even over some Michelin Star restaurants. Their homemade pasta was the best we have ever had! Highly recommend a reservation as it is very small and intimate, but made it that much better! We will for sure be back!!

Jude and his team never disappoint. Once again, another wonderful meal at Cook! This time we brought friends in from out of town, and they were blown away.

Cook is always incredible and this time was no different. Jeremy took GREAT care of us. Our favorite thing to do is order all different pasta dishes and share them with the table, it's the best way to do it because everything is so good. They had our table ready the moment we arrived. Start to finish we had the best experience. Thanks Cook!

The acoustics in the restaurant are horrible! I was having dinner with my wife and had to lean across the table to hear her speak...not very romantic. Maybe if there was a table in the back room it might have been quieter. The food was okay and the portions were on the "small side." This is one of the very few Italian restaurants that does not serve complimentary bread and olive oil! How hard is that? We love eating out in the Napa area at Italian restaurants and Cook Restaurant in St. Helena is on now one of our least favorite. Many times we order the same items in different restaurants and compare. So far Bistro Don Giovanni in Napa is at the very top and our favorite Italian restaurant in the Napa Valley.
Food is great. Michael, our server was welcoming and attentive and fun. We had a lovely wedding anniversary dinner

I think it's great that I don't live near to Cook as I would have been only dining there and gaining zillion pounds. This is a threat for the senses. Truly loved everything that came out of that kitchen, pastas are so delicious, can I have more of ut now delivered to LA 😀?!?!

Best meal we had on our Napa valley trip. Small with unusual hours do reservation necessary. Only downside is VERY loud so difficult to chat

This is small restaurant (under 40 seats) with a warm atmosphere. The food was outstanding, mostly characterized by its perfectly understated seasoning letting the fresh ingredients to shine.
