Bottega Napa Valley Yountville Reviews
Shoutout to Joey (might not be his name), older gentlemen's.
Besides the food being good he was the star of the show. Our server was amazing and made the whole thing very special.
I've been to this location a handful of times and years ago
I've been to this location a handful of times and years ago it was really good. Fast forward 2025... The menu is relatively unchanged, service is slightly worse, and the creativity is no longer there. Caesar salad had these croutons with anchovies baked in. It ruined the salad imo. The potato ravioli was a thick mound of dough filled a thick Luke warm filling. Floating in a lake of butter. Dish was really heavy. Carbonara was watery. Too much pasta water. Flavor wasn't there either. Bolognese was the only good dish. Hearty and flavorful.
My partner and I came in after a day of wine tasting.
We came in dressed casual but presentable, however we noticed the difference in our service compared to others that looked more "glamorous" and older. The food was very underwhelming. The restaurant is very nice and ambience is nice though, but I wish the service could be equal for all no matter how you appear.
I came here to celebrate my birthday with my wife.
We were extremely excited to try something new! Unfortunately, that was not the case. We let our server know it was our first time at the restaurant, this was not acknowledged and nothing was explained; just the specials of the day. I don't eat fish so imagine my surprise when the server nor the menu explained that my dish contained "Alaskan halibut". I later found this out because our server explained it in better detail to the table next to us. Our server also made us feel "less than" and "not important" compared to the two tables next to us. She didn't explain anything in detail, she wouldn't check on us, and she wouldn't hold a conversation with us at all. We felt this because with our neighbors, the attitude was completely different and more friendlier. I would not recommend this place nor think of this birthday dinner fondly.
I was really excited to come here .
I booked the reservation in advance and they refused to let me and my family with my older parents sit inside in the cool . Then the drinks were very mediocre. And the food was very mediocre as aswell for the price . Myself and my mom got our food 15 min before my father and my boyfriend . Then when my dad's steak came , it came pretty much raw and not cooked . He then sent it back . One of the Managers came over and basically said it's not your servers fault and not the kitchens fault and we are sorry and we'll figure it out ! So i'm like okayyyyy weird thing to come and say to customers . Then at the end , im normally not one who needs compensation but so much just was off and the least they could do it spare a free desert or something , but they didn't . I had to personally ask why they didn't compensate anything for everything that went wrong on there side . He said okay i will compensate one thing , and guess what it was my meal ! And i ordered like a small appetizer . If i were him and he didn't want me to write this review then he should have compensated the meat that was raw !!
This restaurant hit all my requirements for a great place.
It was beautiful inside and out, excellent service, good food, made us feel special and welcome. We went on a Wednesday night to celebrate the 35th anniversary of our first date. We had reservation, arrived on time and were seated right away. They went out of their way several times to acknowledge our anniversary. The food was really good. I didn't eat all of my dinner so I could have dessert (it was a good strategy). We've eaten at all the restaurants on the Main Street in Yountville. This one is really good. I'm glad we finally tried it and I wish we had tried it sooner.
I always start with the positives.
Delicious bread and Parmesan/garlic/olive oil dip. Beautiful copper cups for beverages. The wine was reasonably priced. That's all. Arancini-average, Caesar Salad-average the Crostini in the Caesar salad was awful. The crostini was stale and it was brushed w the dressing and the result: still stale and fishy. My husband ordered the branzino. It was served butterflied with skin and head attached. I think the presentation was severe and gross. I ordered lasagna and sent it back. It was uninspiring. Poorly seasoned and dressed in sauce that only Chef Ragu would like. I was looking forward to loving this place but nope. I gave it 3 stars bc I'm writing the review while enjoying some wine.

Came here for a lunch service with a reservation and was sat immediately. There's indoor and outdoor patio seating available, with the patio being covered. Service was very friendly and attentive, consistently coming in to check on us and refill waters. Pasta dishes were a good portion and didn't make you overly full. I was a big fan of the beef tartar with bone marrow appetizer. Calamari was also good. I loved the bread that came out with the garlic parmesan dipping sauce. My favorite dish was my pasta, the fusilli alla Michelangelo. Would definitely come back to try other items. I will say my one complain is that there were multiple fruit flies or gnats that kept coming around the table, so it was annoying to have to consistently swat them away.
Bottega is just one of those Napa Valley staples.
It's always there, it's always consistent and it's always a vibe. It definitely can be a bit of a scene, lots of tourists and groups, but the ambiance is quintessential Napa Valley fine dining at its best. The outdoor area is really lovely and the food is always exceptional. Service is where they struggle sometimes and in our most recent visit we had a server who either had too many tables or just was genuinely inattentive. We ordered a bottle of chardonnay for two people and he asked if we wanted an ice bucket and then seemed annoyed we said yes. For a place like Bottega if someone orders a white wine an ice bucket should be brought without question. It seems to be a place that could work on their hospitality but the food will keep us coming back regardless.
We stopped here as a part of the Napa Wine Valley Trolley
We stopped here as a part of the Napa Wine Valley Trolley Classic tour. We started with a Caesar salad, followed by Cavatappi. This was followed by cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza. We also had a small menu of wine tasting. This was the star of the meal. The service was decent and the building and grounds were gorgeous. I would need to visit outside of a pre-fixed menu
AMAZING SERVICE and EXCELLENT FOOD!
The location is so charming! We absolutely love this restaurant with an authentic Italian food. The seating outside is so lovely! The service by Michael was outstanding.. very professional and knowledgeable! The wines list is superb and thank you so much Adam to bring for us an excellent Antinori wine! The food is always fresh and tasty! Thank you so much Kelly to manage perfectly this place. A GEM 🙏❤️
Amazing
While visiting Napa for a few days to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary at Auberge, our hotel recommended Bottega — and we’re so glad they did. From start to finish, it was a truly special evening. We were lucky to have an Irish waiter who brought such charm and warmth to the experience. He made our dinner feel personal and memorable, adding a wonderful touch to an already beautiful night. The food was absolutely impeccable — each dish was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. Even though the service was a little slow for a Tuesday, the quality of the food and the relaxed ambience more than made up for it. The restaurant itself was spotless, stylish, and welcoming. The atmosphere, the service, and that delightful anniversary dessert all came together to create one of our favorite dining memories. We’ve already recommended Bottega to friends who live in Calistoga, and we can’t wait to return on our next visit to Napa.
Great dinner ... make sure they pace out your food, tho
We enjoyed a good Saturday night dinner on an evening when they were BUSY... and we probably didn't catch our waiter at his best. There were a few bumps throughout our dinner, yet the only one with mentioning is that all of our food came out at once. Which just makes things feel rushed and you can't really enjoy the food... at least not hot. Caesar salad was great. We both enjoyed our pastas and the branzino. The carrot cake dessert was delicious. The sommelier was fantastic at recommending wine to go with everything we ordered.
Wonderful Italian Cuisine
We enjoyed a wonderful family dinner at Bottega last night. We were greetled warmly and seated promptly. It is a beautiful restaurant inside. We ordered family style so we could share and try a variety of things. Everything was delicious. We also enjoyed a very good Italian SuperTuscan Red Wine Blend from Antinori at a very reasonable price. We will be back.
Just relax and enjoy
When we go to Bottega, we let the chef surprise us, and we have an amazing experience every time. The perfect combination of ingredients makes every dish a pleasure for the palate. Creative, innovative and authentic at the same time, chef Alex’s cuisine is a trip through the land of taste.
Good outweighed bad
Two of the dishes were excellent. The third was not good. We had a Caesar salad that was amazing. So delicious. We also had Carbonara that was the best we have had. The zucchini lasagne was not good. It had potatoes in it that were out of place and the zucchini was shaved pieces, almost non-existent. Service was very good.
Bottega did not disappoint
This is our third time coming to the restaurant and it did not disappoint! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of food allergies (this is always a huge relief for our family). The food was delicious! The gnocchi are a must as well as the affogato.
Bottega. Wow.
Wow. Absolutely the best meal of 2024. Amazing in every way. Food, staff, vibe, tempo, wow. I can be mr grumpy but this old man was pleased. Thank you Bottega.
The pasta was not very good.
The seasoning was not impressive. The noodles were not fully cooked.

Great Italian Restaurant in Yountville
This is much more than just pizza and pasta. Bottega has delicious modern Italian pastas, appetizers and entrees. Craft cocktails and an expansive wine list also. Both casual diners and high end foodies will be delighted.
First time coming here for dinner.
The restaurant was very nice. Staff were friendly. We're both are vegetarian. They have a lot of variety of vegetarian options. Their complimentary bread with garlic Parmesan dipping sauce is sooo good. Their food was good. Their dessert is also very good. Our favorite is the pana cota and their donuts were so yummy. Wonderful experience.

Came here for lunch to celebrate my birthday! Received a sweet touch of a handwritten card that was placed on our table. I am sad to have to rate Bottega a 2.5 but rounding up to 3 and here's why: - Attentive service, super friendly staff - We sat outside on a beautiful Sunday, but of course there were flies. Not the restaurants fault though. - We ordered the burrata, burger, raviolo, shrimp pasta, zeppole and tiramisu. Burrata was delicious! Burger and shrimp pasta were good but nothing to rave about. Sadly I found a piece of metal in my raviolo. At first I thought it was a piece of stem from the sage in the dish, but alas it was something that was silver - not as thin as foil, but pliable and sharp. The donuts were really yummy, the tiramisu was okay. Would maybe come back to sit inside and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. But the food is just okay.
Had dinner there.
I relayed my dietary restrictions before I ordered. After dinner, I had terrible stomach pain and was extremely bloated. Will not return.
tomahawk steak is perfection.
cooked to a nice soft texture and full of flavor. the bone is huge and has good bits left on it. The polenta side that came with it was one of the best things in this meal and the peas were nicely flavored too. the carbonara was good although the squid ink was unexpected and possibly unnecessary. the bread was fantastic. The sauce it comes with is like a pesto without the basil; really strong and aromatic but the bread is so good it doesn't really need it. The arancini was impressive: small nuggets of smooth warmness, the cheese inside blends together and the outside is crispy. It's a lot smaller than expected but in a good way so I was ready for the entrees the raviolo was not for me -- I would personally pass as it was too cheesy/creamy. I shared these with 3 other people and we were too full for dessert. I'd recommend coming here for dinner if you're in Napa for wine tasting and don't know where to eat as you can't go wrong. The ambiance is nice, a bit fancy but not intimidating.
Little gem in Yountville!
Amazing dinner for our first night in Yountville. Beautiful setting, exceptional staff and the food was fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone booking a restaurant in this stunning picturesque little town!

We recently rented a private dining room at Bottega for my mother's 90th birthday celebration and the food, staff, service were exceptional. They were so flexible and were even willing to prepare my elderly parent's favorite pasta dishes. Thank you for such a special evening and event. Excellent!
I liked the ambience and the food.
The warm bread and the garlic dip is tastes amazing.
Always a delicious meal with great service at Bottega.
It was a perfect ending meal to a recent weekend getaway. And the best meal of the trip, even topping Michelin Starred Auberge Du Soleil. Bottega has become one of my favorite places to dine in all of Napa County. From their seafood, pastas, complimentary bread (from Panorama Baking Company) with garlic olive oil spread, and wine selection; their offerings are solid from top to bottom.
My recent visit to Bottega was extremely disappointing.
Despite having reservations and arriving only eight minutes late, the front desk informed "because they were late, we are making them wait", even though their policy allows a 15-minute grace period. We ended up waiting 15 minutes to be seated. The appetizers, they were quite good, which raised our hopes for the main courses. Unfortunately, out of the three pasta dishes we ordered, only one was satisfactory. The rest were terribly undercooked, not even meeting the standard of al dente. To top off the disappointing meal, we ordered the lava cake, which turned out to be a complete letdown. As shown in the picture below, the cake lacked any "lava" whatsoever. I spoke with the manager about the issues we faced and mentioned I would be writing this review. The manager's response was lackluster, offering only an apology and stating they aim to provide premium service, but there was no attempt at proper follow-up or making amends. Even when I was contacted in the lobby for a follow-up conversation, the staff seemed more interested in defending themselves rather than addressing the problems we encountered. I cannot recommend Bottega based on this experience. The service and food quality were severely lacking. You would be better off visiting other establishments in Yountville.
Superior service
Our family members rated the all around best service ever received in a restaurant. Exquisite service by all attending our meal. Vegan options were the highlight. A fabulous zucchini lasagna was the star of the meal. The only downside were flies that hovered our water glasses. This was somewhat of a distraction to the ultimate service and food quality.
Loved it!
This was our best dinner in Yountville. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic and the drinks were a perfect compliment. I had a raw fish appetizer served on a sea salt block, which accompanied with a glass of champagne. It was spectacular. We will definitely return.
My favorite on vacay!!
OMG this was great!! This was a surprise for our hostess who had never been. When I saw this was the restaurant of the late Michael Chiarelli I knew it would be fabulous and it was. We were there at noon for the opening. Service was above and beyond. The food was exceptional all around, not one dish lacking. My favorite restaurant this trip
Incredible Food
Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. This is our second time dinning here. The service matches the food. Servers are kind and have great stories to share. RIP Micheal knowing your restaurant is being well taken care of.
My old roommate was visiting from out of state, so we
My old roommate was visiting from out of state, so we decided to spend the day in Napa. Before wine tasting, we dined at Bottega to fill our bellies. The Hubs and I shared the pear salad and it was a great way to start the meal! All the ingredients were very fresh and not overly dressed. I ordered the rabbit rigatoni, which I highly recommend. The rabbit was a tad bit dry and simply tasted like chicken breast, but the pasta was the start of the show. It was perfectly cooked to al dente and smothered in a rich demi-glace. The sauce was divine! The Hubs ordered the vegetarian fusilli, which had a spicy kick. It was lighter and healthier for sure, but I enjoyed my dish so much more! One kid ordered the Bolognese and the other ordered the steak with truffle fries. They were both very happy with their meals! The service was also great! There was a mixup with the brussels sprouts dish my friend ordered. She ordered the roasted brussels sprouts, but the server brought out the shaved brussels sprouts salad. The server apologized and took care of it right away with no fuss, which was much appreciated. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. I'll have to try the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren next time as it's my sister's favorite!
Celebrated my 50th birthday with a few girlfriends.
The service, attention to detail, the amazing food, ambiance..everything was incredible! Exceeded our expectations! Can't wait to go back!

The one star is for the gentleman helping me (David) They tres lychee drink was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the meatballs great sauce and seasoned well. Only downfall of the night was a bug in my food. They said they never seen one before (was in my soup) I just found another one in the window. Forgot to take a pic of the bug in my food. Maybe it's sunny but definitely disappointed. Updated***** Adam Tirado made things right and biggest thing acknowledged what Pedro didn't.
My husband and I had an amazing lunch experience.

I came in for a quick lunch before my final tasting of the day. I had the carbonara pasta and it was very good. The guanciale adds nice salt and the yolk makes it creamy. Good restaurant when in the Yountville area.
Dinner in napa
Fun place. Good cocktails if you’re tired of wine, but plenty of wine to choose from , and the food and service is great. Wait staff was helpful and did great job.
Doesn't seem like there is many Italian options in Napa.
Came here for dinner and it was average at best.

Sat at a table right next to the wood fireplace and it was a treat to smell the smoke and enjoy eating outside on a day when we were supposed to get rained out. The waiter and the other server were awesome! I had a white Negroni which was fun and a nice change up from a standard Negroni, uses a blanco Campari. I had a beef dish with polenta-delicious! Jessica had the vegetable lasagna and it was so fresh and delicious. I know in hindsight she wishes she had a pasta dish, because hers was all vegetarianish... still good, but not as rich, This place was our best experience of the first two days.
Food Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren 4/5 A dish as
Food Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren 4/5 A dish as sophisticated as it sounds, the flavors are LOUD. The smell of basil washed over me as it arrived at table which I would normally swoon over (call me basil bae) but the salt was applied heavy handedly. I was a bit disappointed as the spaghetti would have been perfect had it not been so salty. Al dente pasta. No protein. It is still worth trying. Scallop Risotto 4.5/5 Tenderest scallops! Risotto cooked nicely. Coming in more expensive than the branzino, I had raised expectations and it delivered. Ricotta gnocchi 4/5 Pillows describe the gnocchi perfectly. Ricotta is smooth. Red sauce paired nicely. Service Coperta cover charge per person. Servers kept our beverages full and cleaned the tables expeditiously, attentive and friendly. I love how there's outdoor seating year around in these odd times we're living in. Large lot for parking.
Bottega was amazing.
We travelled to Napa Valley for the weekend and this restaurant was the highlight of our trip. To start off, we were shown to our table by Harry, who was an absolute delight. He was so welcoming and he truly made our experience at the restaurant very memorable. Thank you to Harry and the wait staff for the wonderful service! Now, the food. Wow. Every single dish our group of 7 ordered was so delicious. Beginning with the bread to the pasta dishes, everything was so great. The shaved brussel sprout salad is a must try and if you like Caesar salad, that was really good as well. The ambiance was sooo nice and very romantic. I cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back for sure!
Great location, the patio is super dog friendly which we
Great location, the patio is super dog friendly which we loved and the food was great, except for the Hail Cesar Nero salad, that was just icky and grey. No need to use black garlic & charcoal to change the look, salad tasted fine but don't go grilling the romaine and adding weird stuff! the color was so off putting, just yuk & why? Flavor was the same, just ugly grey color! Ewww. The Raviolo was perfect! The sommelier was lovely but our waitress asked us immediately after each dish was brought out, how it was? When clearly we had not even touched it. Almost all of our plates were chipped, even the bowl of butternut squash soup. Made it more rustic Italian in my view, serving on chipped pottery style dishes. we didn't mind, the soup was divine. We bought Michael's cookbook and were looking forward to recreating these dishes at home, if that's even possible. Totally recommend.
Great Food, Friendly Service
We had the brussel sprout salad, the bruschetta, and we shared three pasta dishes. The food was excellent, and we would highly recommend. Service was attentive, but not overbearing.
Does not disappoint
On our first night out during our recent staycation we stopped in Bottega for drinks and an appetizer. We had reservations elsewhere that night but had heard wonderful things about Bottega and wanted to drop in. We really enjoyed the Room 721 and the wide selection of Negronis as well as the Burrata appetizer. We loved how everything tasted and wanted to return for dinner so we did on night two of our staycation. Our server Scott was knowledgeable and took care of us very well. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. We had to have the room 721 again of course, followed by the hamachi crudo as well as the saffron scallops risotto they had special that evening as well as the braised short ribs Chef Chiarello was famous for. We did not follow up with dessert as everything is very rich but we enjoyed the richness and the food and libations. We highly recommend dining here and if not dining, jump in at the bar and enjoy some drinks and apps!
Italian jewel in Napa.
This restaurant has superb food great ambiance. Our waiter was Murph, so nice and personable with his very thick mustache and upscale service made our experience even better. His recommendations for food were spot on. I would go back today but we were only for one day visiting Napa wineries. Highly recommended this restaurant. Also few Italians have vegan options and this one had a very nice vegan pasta. Thank you for considering people that want to make a difference in the planet by choosing a different type of food.
Enjoyable fine dining experience
We have last minute decision to have late lunch at Bottega today, without reservations, and luckily we were able to get a table for 2. We were already half expecting to be turned down and have a backup plan where to go in case no available seats. The appetizers Calamari and Bruschetta and main entries Spaghetti Fusilli Tra Vigne were delectable. Our server Sofia was very attentive and nice, she even gave me a lil dessert plate with a candle as my friend had unceremoniously mentioned it was my birthday while we were ordering. Overall, I would say our dining experience was great and would come back to Bottega Napa.
Great food but check if you want breading on the branzino.
Excellent pear salad. Branzino came breaded which could have been avoided apparently but waiter neglected to ask. Never had it breaded before! All else was excellent.
