Bottega

Fine Italian cuisine . Portions are moderate. Try gnocchi for pasta and duck for the 2nd entree. A very knowledgeable sommelier will help you choose a nice wine pairing .

Had a fantastic lunch here on 10/3. Reviews are spot on. Polenta under glass is absolutely divine as is the octopus . Absolutely loved the burrata.For the main, braised short rib is fantastic!

Signature drink : Creative cocktails incorporate fresh ingredients , like the Chef 's Lonsdale ($12) of 209 Gin , apple , vanilla , lemon , pink peppercorn and spanked basil . Read more

Polenta was good. Love the garlic butter that comes with bread . This rigatoni was so dense with mushroom flavor that without cheese or cream it was still amazing.

A perfect ten. The octopus , Sophia Loren pasta , pork shoulder , and duck ...WOWOW! I am blown away by all. Not to mention the service is great too. Spectacular meal. Absolutely gorgeous food.

Skip the main course and order more antipasti to share: Polenta under glass , octopus , burrata , short rib meat balls . Finish with egg yolk ravioli in brown butter & sage sauce!

Round up your favorite food nerds and hit the terrazzo, a cozy space with strings of light, a stone fireplace and ample seating . It's the perfect spot for short rib meatballs and a glass of red.

Everything we tried was good. Im surprised this doesn't have at least one star. Everyone talks about the polenta and rightfully so. Try it and save room for the tiramisu later. You wont regret it.

Polenta under glass is worth our annual flight from Washington, D.C. Chiarello’s culinary genius is on every plate. We loved Bottega while living in CA. A decade later, it’s still our fave in U.S.

The housemade raviolo is maybe one of the best things we have ever had. Be sure to try anything and everything with fresh truffles ! -North Block Hotel

What an amazing restaurant in Napa! Loved the wine & the food! Must stop at the restaurant for a delicious meal ????

Comfortable , welcoming, delicious! The Ricotta Gnocchi is a must-I don't love gnocchi ! The cocktails are seasonal&thoughtful, as is the menu-Eat in the bar if you can't get a table. U might c Michael!

The wait staff , service, food, and wine selection are outstanding. Murph was our waiter and he made the evening. Was special night (birthday dinner ). We were treated so amazingly well .

Best seat: The covered terrazzo allows people watching without people bumping. Two wood-burning stone fireplaces warm merrily-colored banquettes. Read more

I live for the Truffle Fries ! Done in duck fat with herbs and finished with parmigviano... so amazing! (Also, try dipping them in the garilic, parm oil they serve with the bread ! Killer combo!)

They still got it. The brick pressed Chicken is great. Flavorful with a little spice. The ravioli d uova also great. Skip the short ribs .

We were not disappointed. Get the polenta under glass . The pastas are also quite fresh and hit the spot. Expect to take your time, and chat with your neighbors.

The aioli that comes with the calamari was so good. The antipasto had some delicious cheeses Yum. Flat iron chicken was good just the right spice.

Try the Polenta Under Glass - Wow. FourSquare folks recommended this and it did not disappoint!

This is one of the top places in the Napa Valley. Michael Chiarello came back to the kitchen triumphantly. We ate in a beautiful private room which is great for big groups. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

One of the best, heartiest meals I've ever had. Sit outside and start with the Pesce Crudo followed by the Black Garlic Spaghetti

Show up after lunch service ends at 2:30 p.m. and you can stake a prime seat at the big copper bar next to the hostess stand. Read more

Great duck leg with ravioli . My girlfriend received the wrong dish and the waiter insisted it was what she ordered in a rude way which was a bit bizarre/outrageous. The food was excellent though

Try burrata and marinated mushrooms or persimmon purée across thick slices of yellowfin tuna crudo .

Bonus: The St. Helena Dirty Martini comes in a pitcher size ($40), capping Charbay Vodka with Arborio-fried blue cheese olives . Read more

I may have had my best meal ever at Bottega. Great pasta dishes, desserts , and the atmosphere was very comfortable .

Start with the polenta under glass and then proceed to the Pollo alla Diavola. Most flavorful & perfectly cooked chicken I've ever had.

Bottega embodies the perfect marriage of rustic and refined Italian cooking . Tune-in to see Chef Chiarello showcase his signature style in his quest to become the Next Iron Chef , Sundays at 9p|8c.

I loved the tomato and risotto w. prawn special & my husband couldn't stop raving about his braised short rib . We ordered a side of truffle fries but barely had enough room left

The meatballs are unreal. Secret unadvertised menu item, add extra meatball . Just ask the waitress so that you will have 4 instead of 3 balls on the plate.

Bottega never fails to deliver a perfect meal in a perfect setting!..BTW Dress should be business casual to blend into the wonderful atmosphere. ; )

Fine American Italian food , combined with elegant and comfortable environment and neighborhood makes almost perfect experience.

Wines , pairings, seasonal plates, burrata , truffle fries ... ALL menu choices are exceptional choices at Bottega.

Iron Chef Chiarello's boneless sonoma duck confit with foie gras . Unforgettable! Dine here when in Napa

Don't pass up the fig and prosciutto app, and eat it how the chef recommends. So soo good!

They the bolognese . Bu if you eat fish the best fish I've ever had no,really it's the Bransino at chiarello's Bottega. Enjoy!

Fantastic!!!! The food, staff , everything is perfect! Try the Ricota gnochi and the tiramissu is Wonderful.

Visit in January for lunch during Napa Valley Restaurant Month, and enjoy a short rib burger with Bottega chips for $19. Lunch served Tuesday - Sunday 11:30 – 2:30pm.

Chef Chiarello is the best of all celebrity chefs I've met and dined at their restaurants ! Worth the $ & much respect to him for all his hard/deserved work!

Try the Pepino. What a great cocktail ! Make sure James is your waiter . Love you James. Go Giants!!!

Bacon and egg a must. Dreamy beet ravioli with fresh figs and toasted hazelnuts were beautiful.

Top ingredients, and masterful recipes. Go now. Go often. I suggest the chef 's tasting menu the first time, so you can try as much as possible in one sitting.

no corkage fee is charged for chiarello wines purchased at the attached store. if your party is 4+ request to sit in the private wine cellar behind the dining room; it makes the experience even better

Michael Chiarello has put together an amazing menu and wonderfully welcoming staff . However the $25 corkage fee is borderline absurd.

Polenta under glass is superb & really unique. The braised short ribs paired with Michael's 'Giana' Cabernet is out of this world. (Cab is 1 of best I had in napa, surpassed only by Silver Oak napa)

Try the Potato dough raviolo - Filled with spinach and ricotta , black truffles , farm fresh egg yolk , sage brown butter
