My husband made reservation for us to have dinner for my
My husband made reservation for us to have dinner for my birthday. He specifically asked for a table by the fire. When we got there he very politely mentioned to the hostess that it's my birthday. She sat us ( my husband our two daughters and me) at a small table with four chairs right next to a larger table with five chairs that was in front of the fire. I asked if we are able to sit at that table and she just said "No". No explanation. The food was delicious, every single server was caring and took care of us. That was a beautiful part. However I felt cold the whole time and the table next to the fire remained open and unused by anyone. I will not be coming back there.

Bistro Don Giovanni truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and charming. The dinner experience was simply superb - every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our evening was unforgettable. Can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious menu! Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exquisite dining experience.

People have raved about this place so we were eager to give it a try. Sadly another case of Napa's over hype under deliver establishment. Right from the start I watched our hostess cross out our reservation and seat a more hoity toity looking couple ahead of us leaving us to stand and wait for half an hour. When we were finally seated we were placed at a makeshift table right in the middle of traffic getting smacked into by patrons and staff the whole time. Our server could not have cared less if we dropped dead at the table and only interacted with us to take our order and collect the tab, no checking in no nothing. The food was no better no worse than anything else you can find in town. I can't put my finger on it exactly but there is a funky dusty stale smell in the place that put me off too.

Be the first to ReplyGreat service, nice ambiance, cocktails were wonderful.
We loved the salmon, Lamb Gnocchi, beet salad, everything actually. The server was so welcoming and kind. The whole experience was wonderful!
Be the first to ReplyA little off the beaten path but well worth the short drive
A little off the beaten path but well worth the short drive from downtown. Great staff and pasta. Nice Italian/Napa wine list. Butterscotch pudding is the bomb! Very family friendly and expanded patio outside. Enjoy!

My husband and I love Bistro Don Giovanni! One of our favorite restaurants in the world. We dine here two to three times per week. Excellent food and service. Big shout out to the entire crew - we love you all. Keith and Leslie Barnes, Napa
Be the first to ReplyThe food at Bistro Don Giovanni is always amazing and tasty.
The staff is really attentive and take great care of the customer. We love sitting in the outdoor space when we can. On a nice day there is nothing like it.
Be the first to ReplyCame here last night with a 8:15pm dinner reservation.
Felt very very rushed. We ordered our food pasta if the day and risotto of the day. It came out literally in 2 mins after ordering while I am eating my bread btw. So fast that the waiter had to apologize for it. Maybe this explains why the shrimp was over cooked as it's been sitting under the light too long? Half way through my risotto the bus boy asked me if I was done. Wtf awkwardly I decided to take the rest to go. Maybe late reservations changes the service. Overall I like the ambiance food would be better if fresh. I would go e this place another try at an earlier time.
Be the first to ReplyMy favorite Italian restaurant in California hands down.
The food is always consistent and absolutely outstanding. My favorite is the salmon and ravioli, but you absolutely can't go wrong with everything on the menu. Living in Napa, it's hard not to come to Don G's everyday!
Be the first to ReplyDoesn't get much better than dining on the patio of a nice
Doesn't get much better than dining on the patio of a nice restaurant in the Napa Valley when the weather is beautiful; it definitely reminds me of why I live in Northern California! The food here is excellent and service is generally very good (though my server on my last visit was a bit surly). This is a gem of a place and I highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyI came here last night.
The meal was mid but that's not what made me write the review. When I got up to go to the restroom before leaving, I saw 2 servers taking plates that were on another table to the bread drawer and putting USED BREAD BACK IN THE DRAWER. They recycle bread. I've heard of this happening in some places but couldn't believe my eyes. The servers just looked at me like a deer in headlights. I couldn't even process what I had seen. They literally took the left over bread and put it back to serve it to others. I assure you this wasn't the garbage, as the trash is not a lined bread drawer. I would never come back due to this and it's a health code violation last I checked. So unless you like community bread, I'd avoid.
Be the first to ReplyThis is our favorite local restaurant in Napa.
The food is always outstanding. The octopus salad and the fritto misto are a nice way to start the meal. The service is friendly and high end restaurant professional. The seasonal flower display never disappoints, creating a beautiful ambiance for indoor dining,

I've tried almost everything on their menu at this point, and nothing has disappointed. There's a reason they're always busy! Great bar, wine list, and ambiance for a delicious meal after a day of wine tasting (or work!)

My favorite spot in Napa hands down! Can't go wrong with the steak. Or the raviolis. Perfect after a day of wine tasting or just for a lunch or dinner out!
Be the first to ReplyAlways reliably good service and food.
the parking can be a challenge sometimes, but the location is easy to find and right in the center of the lower Napa wineries. Dog friendly, too. It has only one drawback, the menu is fixed and doesn't change. At least if you find a favorite you can be sure to have it again. Outside seating and a full bar in case you are all wined out.
Be the first to ReplyWe were looking for some good Italian and came across this
We were looking for some good Italian and came across this restaurant. We were very pleased with the food quality and service. We started with the octopus salad which was super tender and delicious. The clam spaghetti was outstanding. The bolognese was delicious but the clam spaghetti was so good it over shadowed the bolognese. We had the butterscotch pudding which was tasty but we should have gotten the cake instead. I also had an americano and a decaf coffee. Both were delicious. We want to come back here the next time we are in town.
Be the first to ReplyMy group has been trying a different Napa restaurant each
My group has been trying a different Napa restaurant each month for fun and comparison. Disappointed in Don Giovanni. Waiter wouldn't provide two checks for a table of four. Table so wobbly you couldn't lean on it without spilling the drinks. My smashed potatoes came with whole garlic cloves mixed in that I had to peel to eat and they were crunchy and raw. Overhead hanging heater roasted us and they wouldn't turn it down. Interesting apple salad but dressing had no flavor. I have had a good meal there in the past but we all said it didn't measure up. So far we like Brix and Celadon.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was delicious! The calamari was a great appetizer
The food was delicious! The calamari was a great appetizer to get because it was a pretty big amount of food. The salmon was perfectly crispy on the top and soft on the inside. The ravioli was great too! We got a split sauce so we could try both the tomato and lemon sauces which were amazing.Service was pretty fast overall but they weren't too busy at the time. It was a little cold and we were seated outside but they had plenty of big heaters placed around the tables so we weren't cold at all!
Be the first to ReplyGreat food and amazing service.
Within our party, we shared a food allergy and they accommodated and checked in on us.

I took some out-of-town friends for wine tasting at WALT Wines, and before leaving I asked the cute blonde girl (can't remember her name) what restaurants would she recommend for lunch? She immediately said we should visit Bistro Don Giovanni. And that besides ordering what we like on their menu, we should ask for fried olives, which are not listed. We ordered a few items from the menu including the fried olives and loved everything. The staff was attentive and my guests and I had a great time.
Be the first to ReplyFull disclosure, this was my first time back after a
Full disclosure, this was my first time back after a disastrous dinner several years ago. Not my choice to return, but our host was very excited to go for lunch. We had an amazing time! Enrique was our server, and he was fantastic! My penne bolognese was hearty and meaty, which I loved! Especially after a taste and tour, it was the perfect dish. My husband and I I also shared the Caesar salad, and it was large enough to share with my friend as well. Our tiramisu for dessert was fantastic, and that is saying something as my one friend considers himself a connoisseur of tiramisu! Make sure you order the fried olives as an appetizer...they aren't on the menu, but they are totally worth it! So glad I went back and gave them another try!

Everything on the Menu is delicious ! Been coming here for years & the service is top notch too. The setting is beautiful
Be the first to ReplyHave been coming here for over 20 years! We love this
Have been coming here for over 20 years! We love this restaurant and usually take a day trip from San Francisco just to enjoy the food and ambiance here. Giovanni knows who we are.Unfortunately, came here today to a different experience! They have done some renovations to the outside seating area. I love the new outdoor tile floors; they use to have pebbled floors which made it difficult and dangerous to walk around. However, now they have put in overhead tarps which totally block the sun. You're literally sitting in shade all the time. They also have installed outside fans everywhere!! It seems like every seating area has at least 3 noisy fans running constantly. And, to "top it off", you now have music blasting in your ears from speakers everywhere! Seems like they have over-architected the design of their outdoor dining area. No sunshine, noisy fans everywhere, and loud music. This is not why people come to Napa Valley and Don Giovanni!! I spoke to the manager when we were leaving the restaurant (Giovanni wasn't there). I explained my concerns to her and she said, "I couldn't agree with you more!"I hope Giovanni reads this. Take out some of the overhead tarps, shut the fans unless they're really needed ( we were there and the weather was comfortable, no need for fans), and shut the music. People come to Napa to enjoy the sunshine and breathe the sweet air from the vineyards.
Be the first to ReplyFirstly, Bistro Don Giovanni was our place to go every time
Firstly, Bistro Don Giovanni was our place to go every time we are in Napa. It was the best Italian restaurant. But the last two visits were very disappointed. The food was mediocre last time, but we decided to give it a chance one more time this Sunday. Today the service was horrible. We waited for 30 min for our drinks (coffee and a beer, nothing fancy) We got them only after appetizers. The funny thing is that it was our last drink there because our waiter decided not to bother us anymore. Then we got our main course after 1 hour of waiting... Probably it could be fine, but when we got our plates of pasta, nobody offered us any parmigiana, spoons, asked how it is or etc. Basically, we felt like we are in a fast food place, just waiting for our order. The next tables to us were waiting for their orders for a long time too. A couple who sat next to us were waiting for a waiter to take an order for at least 15 minutes. Finally, instead of ordering new drinks, and desserts, we were sitting there and thinking about how to leave this place.I'm not sure if they are understaffed, undertrained or there is a lack of management, but with this attitude, you are going to lose your customers and money. We don't think we are gonna recommend this place anymore.
