Excellent service. Food was very good. The bolognese was tasty and the salad nicely done. We had a glass of the Cabernet which paired well with our lunch.
Opentable Diner
Wow! So delicious!! Three of us, we had the Calamari (lightly breaded & crispy, meaty), Ceasar salad (well dressed, not over, flavorful), Fazzoletti bolognese (best ever had, simply magical) and Cavatelli all'arrabbiata (perfect amount of heat, not too much, delicious sausage). The service was fantastic; our waitress was so friendly. Reasonable prices, especially for the Napa Valley. Everyone there thanked us as we walked out afterwards. We were there between lunch and dinner time. It is a small space, so if you're wanting to go during peak times and days, might be a challange. Absolutely recommended and we'll definitely be back!

Food was fabulous. Best risotto ever! Service was great. Music was way too loud. But we loved our experience overall!
JoAnn
Delicious, homemade, unpretentious food. Bolognese was sublime, as was the white nectarine and prosciutto salad. Would have been good to know the price of the risotto before we ordered it. The flavor and consistency didn't match the price for us.
Mike
That's Italian food I've ever had. While I have yet to go to Italy, we have been to our fair share of fantastic Italian restaurants. This place dethroned our favorite in Little Italy, New York. Can't wait to go back. This place is amazing. Try the risotto.
Mike
Everyone's dinner (party of four) was delicious. Our server, Michael, was wonderful! Fun, informed and efficient! Great Time!

We ate here ~10 yrs ago and it was just as good today. Thank you for maintaining your excellent level of quality 
Deborah
I loved the style of the restaurant, small but upscale. Michael was a fabulous server! We had so much fun talking to him about the area St. Helena, he made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The food was wonderful, 4 of us shared Calamari, and 2 each had Fazzoletti Bolognese and 2 had Risotto with Halibut and Clams, both were wonderful. I was surprised by the price of the Risotto, but we should have asked! I would highly recommend this local hidden gem.
Johnny
Excellent chicken dish and the halibut (special menu item) was terrific. Very fresh tasting and seasoning was perfect. Nice experience.
Phil
Great food and server recommendations. Small restaurant but no waiting required despite being pretty full. Nice ambience.
ALWAYS so delish, fresh and seasonal! Love how Jude embodies his lovely personality, amazing palate with his guests. But remember, friends, you need to book in advance and be mindful he is closed on the weekends to enjoy his family.🥰

My two friends and I had the Red Pepper & Olive Tapinade Panino sandwich. It was incredible. I could not think of anything I would ask to be changed about the meal and experience. It was all perfect.

We've been looking forward to this experience for months, ever since a friend recommended it to us... Living in the valley makes it easy to forget what excellence is, but this jewel in St. Helena will remind you. Maybe 50 seats, all with plenty of room, refined selections, and a talented staff. Friday staff at 12:30pm nailed it! Thank you!
