Our Summary Review

“Despite all the new upstarts, it’s still sublime to sit on the terrace surrounded by vineyards at this stunningly beautiful yet unpretentious Italian bistro in Napa that’s favored by locals for its excellent cucina, good wine list and the warmest greeting; it all comes at a fair price.”

A rating
“Incredible Napa people-watching and superbly consistent Italian food. Park among the olive trees and grapevines, then take a seat in the airy, flower-decked dining room. If it’s sunny, choose one of the rattan chairs on the peerless, postcard-perfect garden terrace.”

Since 2002, Bistro Don Giovanni has consistently been included in Michael Bauer’s Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants.

“Bistro Don Giovanni is the place to find locals. On any given day you’ll see a who’s who of Napa winemakers, winery owners and swells who have houses in the valley. Pastas are must-order, but there’s also such things as pan roasted petrale sole with lemon caper butter; grilled pork chop with white beans and aged balsamic or puffy, lightly blistered pizza. The fireplace room, wood-oven pizza station, comfortable bar and covered patio, also with a fireplace, provide many dining options. The grounds overlook a vineyard and include a culinary garden, loads of flowers and a whimsical fountain.”
