After we finished eating, I frantically researched (read: checked Yelp) for a winery to visit. Housley seemed to fit the bill--good reviews, dog-friendly (we had her dog with us), and what seemed to be a reasonable tasting price. We get there and we realize it's owned by Tamera Mowry (who is now Mowry-Housley!) There's a picture of her and her husband (a former baseball player) in the window. We're sort-of starstruck. Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!

The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi.

If you want to see a lot of restaurant employees standing around doing nothing, this is your place! I haven't had such poor service in a very long time. The host took 20 minutes to seat us on the empty patio. She was much more interested in answering the phone and seating smaller parties who came after us (yes, we had a reservation). The bartender also ignored us. When he wasn't busy chatting up the other employees, he was too busy making drinks for the food servers. After 15 minutes, when we finally thought he noticed our waving hands, he walked right past us and served someone who had just stepped up to the bar. When finally seated, we asked for our server to order cocktails. The person we asked promptly went to stand in the corner to chat to the other busboy. The pizza we finally ordered was dumped at our table. It was in six pieces for a table of eight. As we struggled to cut it with a dull steak knife (again, all servers and busboys standing right behind us, not offering to help), we finally gave up and went inside with the pizza to ask the chef to cut it for us. At that point, he said we had a steak knife at our table and should use that, while a pizza cutter sat right in front of him. Another chef grabbed the pizza and made one sloppy pass on it and slid it back. At that point, the manager saw what was happening and came out to apologize. We told her we had a show to attend and needed quick turn around on the rest of our food. It showed up 45 minutes later. While the food was OK, the number of employees just standing around doing nothing is maddening. If you have tons of time to kill and like human statuary, this could be your place. read more

Every time I think about Oenotri, it just fills me up with a lot of warmth and happiness. It's a great place for a special occasion, a meal while visiting the vineyards, or even a boring Wednesday night when you just want great Italian food. I've visited Oenotri on three visits to Napa and each and every time has been amazing. Their servers are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They go out of their way to explain their wine list and cater to everyone's needs regardless of dietary restrictions. On our last visit, we walked in at opening time without a reservation and were seated in minutes - something that was quite unexpected considering how packed the restaurant usually is! I would recommend on making a reservation if you're planning on dining at peak hours as my previous visits required it. Please please please order a few pies for the table. Their pizza is always amazing - especially the margarita. It's always on the menu and its always worth an order. The other pizzas on the menu keep rotating depending on the produce they get daily, but speak to your server about your preference and they'll definitely recommend a great one. read more

You may be able to tell from my name that I'm Italian. I sometimes speak broken English so forgive me if I misspell something. I ate at Oenotri last week and it was fantastico. My business partner, who is from the small town of Bari in Southern Italy, visits Napoli every couple of weeks. He said the Margherita pizza at Oenotri was better than he gets back home. He couldn't believe there were such great pizzaolis in the town of Napa! We asked the waiter if the oven was gas or wood-fired and the head chef Curtis came by and told us how he starts the wood oven -- never with anything but wood. He was very knowledgeable about pizza and the best authenticate ingredients. We started our meal with homemade salumis -- extremely tender and tasty. Our girlfriends shared a couple of the pasta dishes. Both were excellent and the pork ragu was the best we've ever tasted. To find an authenticate panna cotta for dessert was incredible and the flourless chocolate torta was just as good. We can't wait for our next opportunity to dine at Oenotri. I bring a lot of people to Napa Valley. I plan on making sure I take them to Oenotri for a true taste of Italy. read more

What's the Italian word for WOW? This restaurant is great! I checked out a couple of yelp reviews before heading there, so was expecting something good. It didn't disappoint. Loved the pizza, the pasta ....everything really. Was with a group and really glad because we all ordered something different -- got to try several menu items. It's hard to pick a favorite because everything was scrumptous. But if pinned down, I'd have to say the wild nettle pasta. Nothing like what I expected -- MUCH better! I visit Napa on business about once a month and have eaten at most of the usual places. Oenotri definitely has them all beat hands down. I like the pizza better than Pizza Azzurro and definitely like the pork ragu better than Bottega. Great and interesting wine list, too -- nice to see lots of $25 selections. And I promise you, nobody has such incredible desserts. Looking forward to next month when I'm back in town ....can't wait to see what's on Oenotri's menu for my next visit! read more

Amazing experience here tonight. Our server Steve was really nice, friendly, but not too overbearing. We were served a lovely sparkling water upon being seated. The wine list was HUGE. There were wines available from everywhere-even Sicily. I ordered a pasta dish with capers, smoked buffalo mozerella, and a type of yellow pepper. The way i describe this dish does it absolutely no justice. The ingredients were so different, and of such good quality. The homemade pasta was like nothing i've had before. The portion was so perfect at $14.95. My partner got an amazing wood fired pizza around $13 with lamb sausage, thin lemon slices, and greens. It was probably the best wood fired pizza i've ever tasted-perfect cheese, amazing crust, and lovely blend of flavors. This was really a memorable meal. The decor is simple and classy with cool curved wooden tables. The food and service made this a 5 star experience for us! read more

My husband and I recently relocated to the Napa area. We have been trying out the local restaurants over the last few months and were told Oenotri has amazingly fresh italian food. We've been twice in 1 week. The Pizza is to die for. The ingredients are very weird and not what you would expect to like, but risk it! I promise it's worth it. The charcuterie-chef's choice- is a great way to go, as long as you're not dining with vegetarians! Pastas are fresh and unique-my only complaint is that ours didn't come out very hot. Though this may have been intentional. Wine list was good but the bottle we ordered was corked. It happens. Not a big deal. The service was good both times, but attentiveness could be improved. All in all, a great experience both times. We'll be back soon! read more

I dont know why the listing says this place is no good for kids. It is a little noisy and I always think that somewhat noisy places are good for kids, because when they make too much noise, they are drowned out by the ambient noise. In any case, we took my 5 year old there, and no problem. OK, now the food, simple Italian ingredients with a Southern Italian focus--not your standard fare at all, but it expanded my comfort zone and I tried new things...and everything worked. My wife and I shared a shaved asparagas salad that was pure delisiousness and originality. I also had a duck egg carbonara the night I was there...I will be chasing this expereience the rest of my days, I fear. read more

Nice looking spot and ok service. My complaint is with the pizze. The menu is all in Italian and don't let that fool you for a minute. I ordered their Margherita pizza and it was by far the worst pizza I've ever had because the quality, ingredients, and overall look doesn't match either the price and what it claims to be. I don't like restaurants that claim a certain style and gauge you price wise when they don't respect the product they're offering. Have pride in what you do. If you say it's napoletan pizza, then make it so. This margherita had so many flaws, it tasted and looked like Trader Joe's frozen margherita. For 19$! This is "college" take out pizza at best. read more

Oenotri, nestled in the heart of Napa, is a gem for Italian cuisine enthusiasts. Renowned for its Margherita pizza, this spot takes the classic to new heights with a crunchy dough and a savory crust that perfectly balances texture and flavor. The addition of a chili oil sauce adds a delightful kick, making each bite a harmonious blend of spice and authenticity. Beyond pizza, Oenotri excels in its pasta offerings, showcasing a mastery of traditional Italian dishes that leave a lasting impression. However, the standout is undeniably the Margherita pizza. Whether you're a local or a visitor, a trip to Oenotri is a must for experiencing this exceptional pizza. read more

Had dinner here tonight with my bestie. Fun atmosphere, no reservation. We had about a ten minute wait. Very friendly and informative staff, eager to check on you (in fact we had about 5 different servers). We ordered a fruit based salad to start. Delicious- peaches, pears, arugula, mulberries and hazelnuts, drizzled with balsamic. Very tasty! For our main course, we split a margarita pizza, which was thoroughly unimpressive. Hardly anything on it. Paper thin crust coated in tomato sauce, with a few basil leaves tossed on. Despite the disappointing pizza, it's a lovely location. Probably not somewhere I'll be eager to return to anytime soon, however. read more

When it was time to serve dinner, we were led into a private dining room. It was a bit loud. Not the best acoustics, but a beautiful room. The staff were very attentive. It was a slow meandering meal. Our menu was pre-selected and the food came in courses and served family style. What really impressed me was how they accommodated allergies. I'm allergic to dairy and don't do well with gluten. Another person in our group was vegan and gluten free. I was able to eat almost everything on the menu. That is to say, the majority of the dishes, if they had gluten or dairy, they brought me me own plate with a safe version for me. I was blown away. A lot of places will give you a lesser alternative, but for the most part, they really made the same dishes, just allergy friendly. It was delicious. Often at dinners like this, in fancy restaurants, when it comes time for dessert, I will be offered either a plate of cut fruit or a sad bowl of not very good sorbet. Not here. One of the desserts was this amazing chocolate cake coated in chocolate with a raspberry filling. It was what they served everyone and it was gluten free and dairy free. I about fainted. They also served a dairy free chocolate gelato that was delicious. It had something interesting in it, maybe lavender? We couldn't quite place it. But it was wonderful. I would definitely come here again and recommend it to others. I have never seen a restaurant in Napa step up to the plate like this when it comes to accommodating food allergies. Way to go Farm! I hope to come back again soon.

As you might expect the decor is upscale, modern farmhouse for a restaurant called Farm. It's beautiful with modern metal light figures, light color pallets, and large windows. And even though we reserved an indoor table, they accommodated our last minute desire to switch to outdoor seating. Major bonus points for sufficient heating for your outdoor diners, even at the end of May. The service at Farm was excellent. I just want to give a major shout out to Farm for completely accommodating my lactose intolerance. This allowed me to enjoy the dining experience without worry. For drinks they gave us complimentary glasses of champagne as we were celebrating a special occasion. This was a nice way to start the meal. After, I ordered a lemon drop and husband went with his typical old fashioned. Both were very good. Next, they gave us some amuse bouches to start the meal, with a special one for me to accommodate my dairy issue. Love, love it when restaurants do this. I think this especially notable for restaurants not offering a prixe fixe menu. The food was incredible. To start we had the focaccia, which was so, so good. I was also very hungry so I had more than I would have liked before I even got my entree. Oops, but I also have no regrets. For my entree, I really wanted the crab stuffed cod, but this could not be done without dairy so I opted for the eye of ribeye entree. This dish was incredible. The beef was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I don't know what the veggies on the side were exactly, but they were mind-blowingly good. I wish I could make veggies at home taste this good. I firmly believe that it speaks volumes when a restaurant puts as much effort into the sides as it does to its mains. My husband ordered the pizza as his main. He finished it all, but thought the pizza sauce tasted a little unusual, but couldn't put his finger on exactly why. For dessert I had strawberry sorbet, and my husband had the chocolate ice cream. The portions were very generous with three scoops each. I didn't think we would finish them, but they were so good we did. To conclude the meal, they gave us little pate de fruit candies, and cookies to take home with us, including a dairy free one specially for me. This type of experience is on par with Michelin level dining. We had such a fabulous meal here and overall amazing experience with the level of service at the Carneros property that even though we weren't staying as guests, we decided that we will stay at Carneros and will dine again at Farm when we visit again next year.

The place is huge inside and it has outside seating that is covered. Our waitress came by shortly afterwards we were seated and asked if we need any drinks or water. She brought us some water, some bread, and told us the specials. The bread was nice and soft, and the dipping sauce had a garlic flavor to it that was delicious. I ordered a bowl of the soup which was like a minestrone and very good. For our entrees we ordered the Rigatoni and the Penne con Pollo. Both dishes came out pretty quick. Both dishes were cooked perfect, tender pasta and delicious sauces. We were to full to order dessert. The place is really nice inside with a really nice decor. Our waitress was really good and right there whenever we needed something. I wish I could remember her name. My bad. I'll definitely be back.

After a long drive from San Francisco I was starving. This place was perfect. It's not particularly…read morecheap but given the location you shouldn't expect that. I ordered a breakfast burrito which was about $19. Given the convenient self serve water, and the comfortable chairs on the lanai outside I didn't mind the price. The burrito took longer than expected to come out. About 15 minutes but the wait was worth it. It was massive in size and completely filled me up. All the dishes looked great. I'd come back here for sure.

The food here is tasty. I'll start off with that. I had the breakfast burrito which is not a…read moretraditional breakfast burrito and has a good portion of pickled vegetables including hot peppers. Overall it's tasty but for $18 is rather small. My wife had the shrimp ceviche which was passable but not special. The bowl they used is too small to get the marinade effectively which is the key to the flavor. Again the portion is small considering the price. Chips were good. We also got the truffle fries which again were tasty but not worth returning. The thing that is weird is we had to wait quite a bit of time for our food. This is fine but when the food came out it was not piping hot. Was the delay related to the expediter not get the food out as it sits on a counter? That is completely unacceptable. The default tip is 18% which is what I left but I had to get my own silverware, napkins and water. So really the tip is for the staff and not really for "service"

This time around my family got similar items, but also tried out their Calamarata con calamari di Monterey, their special pizza which featured figs, and their Mamma Mia Mai Tai. Everything was so delicious! The special pizza was a bit too sweet for our liking (still enjoyed it regardless!), but I'd imagine it would've paired very well with some wine! Overall, Scala Osteria continues to provide great food and great service with a casual yet upscale vibe.

I would suggest trying to make a reservation or putting yourself on the waitlist and exploring the area. When we were seated we sat outside because the weather was perfect. Our server, was very polite and welcoming throughout our entire dinner. We all enjoyed our meals and I got to take a few bites of a different dishes. The pork chop was perfectly breaded and juicy inside. Scialatielli with clams and shrimp was also good. The ravioli was light and fresh, with the perfect amount of lemon. The pizza fritta was a little too salty for my liking, but still decent. And the most surprising part was how delicious and tender the chicken dish was. I am not a huge fan of chicken, but this was the best I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend. Now on to the oysters. These were some of the best oysters I've ever had. Tasted very fresh and clean. I could not stop myself from ordering multiple rounds. They are charged by each so that's nice if you just want to give 1 or 2 a try. Overall I really enjoyed my time here and everyone in my party left full and satisfied. Great flavors. Great service. Great ambiance. Would definitely love to go back sometime.

Wish I'd known about this place sooner, great spot.

Our guide through the menu was Aaron. He did a great job. Many good courses. We had started with a stone fruit bruschetta that was delicious with peaches and Burrata. Next Bucatini with a beautiful, delicious tomato sauce and stracciatella, then a vegetable burger that was wonderful with agrodolce onions and then a zucchini and summer squash ribbon salad. The other night we had a pizza with figs, arugula, and Gorgonzola, perfect, and a butternut squash and Swiss chard lasagna with a wonderful rosemary béchamel sauce. There are many interesting things on the menu. We capped off dessert with a delicious vegan, if you can believe it, gelato with a sprinkle of Korte ranch olive oil, with a chocolate chip cookie. Also had the chocolate zucchini tiramisu cake. Happily the wine list actually has some affordable wines by the glass that are delicious. I had a nice Pinot.

The menu pulls off a rare balancing act, offering French, Mexican, and American cuisines without feeling like it was assembled by a culinary committee with commitment issues. Each style holds its own, from elegant French touches to bold Mexican flavors and comforting American classics. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated and perfectly proportionate--robust enough to excite wine lovers, but not so massive that you need a sommelier and a flashlight to get through it. Even better, the happy hour is refreshingly approachable cost-wise, making it dangerously easy to order "just one more" glass. Adding to the experience was our waiter, Arthur, who struck the ideal balance between attentive and entertaining. Knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly unfazed by our enthusiasm for both food and wine, Arthur made the evening feel relaxed and fun--like dining with a professional who enjoys his job. All in all, it's a place that takes food and drink seriously, but not itself--and that's a combination worth coming back for.
