Oenotri Napa - Buy Reservations

The food here is always good, and has been a show stopper for over a decade. I have enjoyed their light and airy pizzas - they redefine pizza, and their pastas and wine list are always great. I'm stopping by to mention that I recently bought my dad an electronic gift card here as I now live out of state--he's born and raised in Napa--me too, but he had never eaten at Oenotri, so I thought it would be a nice experience. While we ran into a snag with his email--Hannah, the manager, helped me figure this out very quickly from my end, and I'm sure she sacrificed her time to personally take care of this and hand deliver a physical card to his home. Above and beyond--and I'm grateful. In recent years it's been difficult for locals to watch Napa change into such a touristy spot (my dad remembers the time when Yountville was the part of town you didn't want to be from--a far cry from the gourmet destination it is now!)--but it's nice to see some people still care about the locals and not just the tourists. Thank you Hannah & Oenotri for taking care of my family.

Get the Quattro formaggi pizza and arugula pesto pasta! Excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed. It was nice to see some vegetarian options, but I would not necessarily recommend this place for vegans - maybe if you called ahead. Pasta is made in house and you can tell. I would pass on the Grilled artichokes. They were cold unclear if that was intentional and not much flavor in the dish.Contorni section of menu is a great place to put vegetables and I thought that was lacking - artichokes were the only option. While the polenta sounded good we really just wanted some vegetables with our carb loaded mains.My friend is gluten free and they were able to sub any pasta except lasagna gluten free. Not sure about GF pizza.The ice cream is creamy, but not super flavorful. It didn't taste or feel like gelato you get in Italian shops. We tried both the caramel and the stracciatella- which was lacking in chocolate. Not bad just not excellent like our main dishes. What was annoying was that I triple checked when ordering dessert that the ice cream and cookie was a gluten free dessert - the menu listed gelato and a meringue cookie. the server was certain it's gluten free but the food runner brought out a wheat based chocolate chip cookie and insisted this was the correct cookie, that there was no other cookie in house. This is frustrating because had I not noticed the cookie was different, my friend would have accidentally eaten it. The server should have marked the ticket gluten free so it would not even hit our table or be on a separate plate with a heads up that there is a change. I made sure my celiac friend didn't eat the cookie and we started to eat the ice cream. We didn't ask for a manager or anything but he came out anyway and brought a plate of the correct gluten free cookie which is listed on the menu. That was nice.I'm leaving off one star because the artichokes were cold and the allergy mishap. Otherwise ambience and pasta and pizza were great and we would certainly come back.

And I was blown away. They didn't have room for us but Olivia made room. Our server, I am sorry I didnt get her name, however she was great. Knowledgeable, nice and efficient. The restaurant was busy however they all took excellent care of us and paid attention to every detail. And the food!!! OMG one of the best pesto pastas I have had in a long time. The Pizza and beet salad was also very delicious. I am mad at myself for taking soo long to come here. Love Love Love it. Will be back for sure!!!

Neither of us have ever been. The ambience and staff were great. Wine was good. We ordered the Brussel sprouts- fabulous. Mixed lettuce salad - good. Pasta with short rib- great flavor but lack luster. Only a couple of pieces of meat. For the price, go somewhere or cook at home for a full meal unfortunately.

It was pretty packed. We got sat right away. Service was great, fast and attentive. The ambiance was nice and chill. We ordered pizza and pasta and ultimate not impressed with either. The food was lacking season. I enjoyed my wine but my friend didn't enjoy hers. Overall it was just "ok" I expect more for Napa and the price.

.. visiting from out of town and had a rec to visit here. Had a reservation, but the table was not ready. No biggie. When seated at the table, it was still being cleaned and lacked a basic service setting. The food was OK.. Special of the day Truffle Pasta was watery a oozy white sauce.. saving grace - the truffles. The homemade pepperoni was flat and tasteless.. crust hard as cardboard. I had to add red pepper flakes for flavor. Food success:1. make it flavorful.2. make it appealing to the eye. Our dishes were neither. Wine was very good. Oaxacan Old Fashioned was amazing!Staff was bubbly and enthusiastic, but forgetful.I'd suggest other local options ...

Ambiance was fine if a bit noisy.Squid linguini was absolutely bland with no identifiable character other than bland...big disappointment. Martini was as ordered, but small.

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THING of the entire meal was actually an appetizer! The Face Fries???? SO GOOD. I could die. My friend and I ordered two orders of the Face Fries they were that good. Lemony, tangy, spicy, savory all really well balanced flavors. I had the Beef ravioli with ricotta. And for dessert we shared this delicious chocolate mousse type of dessert. The service was great. It was quite loud in there because it's a popular place.

The ambiance was perfect. Not too loud or overwhelming. As the night went on the restaurant did get busier and a tad bit louder. The service was exceptional and the servers were very attentive. The food! The food tasted perfectly. We shared a salad and as simple as it looked it tasted even better. We both had wine and a cocktail. Our main dishes arrived and we devoured our meal. It was that delicious. Great spot to dine just on any night. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

The restaurant get a 4 because it is very expensive. I can’t criticize the food because it is very good but the cost is prohibitively expensive. We nice fresh salad for $18 and than I had a cheese pizza for $30! My wife have pasta and clams which was also very good but $36! The atmosphere is nice but the tables are close together ( so don’t expect intimate dinning, also no table cloths) and it is very noise. Very good food but to expensive for my wallet!

We booked the day before and got seated right away. it was busy and very noisy. We ordered after taking advice from the excellent waiter. Almost no sooner had he gone to the next table and our food was delivered. We then sat there and looked at it for several minutes before the waiter came back and i was able to ask for the wine we had ordered. Doing the best i can he says. Several minutes before the wine came. A glass of red. Fridge cold. It would have been nice if the wine came first and we had a few minutes to let it warm up a bit before the food was delivered to our table. By the time i finished my pasta meal the wine finally reached room temperature which turned it to tasty. Overall it was great food but the timing was a little off.

We were there on a Saturday night. You NEED reservations. It's super busy. The pasta menu appears to change daily, so that is interesting and fun. Our pasta was very good, certainly not one of the best meals ever, but perhaps that changes depending on what the chef decides to make. My only complaint is that it was so busy, I almost felt like our server wasn't taking the time to explain the menu. I had questions about the daily pasta dishes, and he was really in a hurry and didn't explain things well. Again, it was good food, a trendy place, and fun. Just not crazy amazing.

Trendy but little loud. I can't eat Italian food, so I probably shouldn't be reviewing this restaurant. I probably had a salad and everyone else had a pasta dish, which no one complained about. We actually visited in August 2021, but that is no longer an option.

My daughter and I came here after walking around Napa for a while and having tried a few other places. Not only was the food delicious but it came in 15 minutes or less. We sat in the courtyard in the back, which was lovely. The staff were nice and funny as as well. We were most impressed and I rarely give five stars but they deserve it.

We selected this place based on convenience and online reviews for our first night dinner in Napa. As requested, we were seated outside and greeted by our waitperson who told us he has been there since the restaurant's inception. He then commented that he was in constant contact with the kitchen and would make sure we didn't feel rushed. Sounded good....we ordered a cheese board and wine as an appetizer...and within 5 minutes, here comes our pizza and cacio e pepe entrees! Neither of these can stand for any period of time so we had to eat them immediately....not being able to enjoy the casual, non-hurried experience we were initially offered. To add insult to injury, the pizza was bland and the cacio e pepe extremely salty. The waitperson never returned to ask how everything was...I'm guessing he knew what happened...and quietly handed us our check without any of the banter we experienced during his introductory greeting. Not good food, not good service, not coming back.

Wonderful food. Great service - an overall wonderful experience. My husband had the halibut and enjoyed it. I had the margherita pizza - delicious. The timing of the food was perfect, something I really appreciate.

On Saturday evening, my fiancé and I ate at this restaurant before going to a show in the area. We were seated after 15-20 mins of waiting with no reservation. We sat outside in the patio behind the restaurant that was under a white tent. The outdoor seating was busy with other patrons and so was inside. We were handed a mini iPad to select our choices of wines/beers/etc. I ordered a Pinot Grigio, which shows below on the photo of the iPad. My partner ordered a red wine, information below on iPad phone.We were given water upon the arrival to our seats/table. We ordered the focaccia bread with olive oil. The bread was a tad bit too salty in my opinion and I was hoping for more herbs in it. It tasted like plain salted soft bread. The olive oil was elite. I'd give this a 3/5.We both ordered the same thing. The Radiatore pasta with pesto sauce, Meyer lemon and walnuts. In my opinion, I would have wanted more lemon flavor. There was no taste of it at all. Maybe a small amount of lemon zest on top? The walnuts balanced out the flavor of the pasta. The Parm Reggiano cheese was too overpowering on the pasta. The pasta again was salty. I would have wanted more complex flavor of all the ingredients in the description of the dish. However, it was overly salty. Omit the walnuts and it may have been slightly worse. My fiancé liked it but didn't love it. He too said it was salty. He said the pesto sauce should've been thicker & it was too thin. We both rate this a 3/5.We didn't order dessert because we were trying to get out to get in line for the show we were going to. So we paid our check and headed out. This restaurant is very busy, it was a Michelin restaurant in 2018. A lot of stickers on the door for best restaurants and best voted on Nextdoor. I'm a little surprised that it was just okay. We've had better. I think it was a little overrated. I would go back to try the other menu items we didn't try. I want to give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt and maybe assume that it just wasn't their best day when we went. We paid $125 with tip included. Parking was hard to find but it was Saturday night & Anjelah Johnson was performing that night. I heard other patrons at the restaurant talking about it too. We went there to Napa from Hayward. Assuming others probably did too because it was her last day in the Bay Area. Restrooms shared with other businesses in the same building was dirty. Toilet paper all over the floor.Staff was really nice though. Our waiter didn't check up on us as much though. He took our order, and then at the end when we asked for the check.

Came in at 7:30 got a reservation for 8:30. Came back at 8:30 was seated. Initial person who came said another person would be our server. The other person came and said I'll be with you shortly. Then original person came back and said actually I will be your server. Ordered sparkling water, focaccia bread and a salad to start. Then gave our entree orders 9:00 still no entree. We order more bread because we are hungry to pass the time. 9:15 we asked is our food coming? (Order was Halibut, noodles, meatballs, broccoli) server apologizes and says let me check. Comes back and says 5 more minutes. We are seated and watching orders for other tables who came in after us being served with orders of broccoli. It's now 9:30 and we ask for our check, so we can try to get food fromSomewhere on a Friday night. Server says let me talk to my manager. Still no food manager comes, we explain the situation. Manager replied we thought you all were okay when we saw you eating bread. We gave $60 cash for a bottle of water salad and 2 orders of bread. We said we needed to find somewhere to eat, she replied we're sorry good luck with dinner tonight. Unfortunately kitchens closed at 9:30 in the area. Napa night ruined went back to our hotel. If server would have said we're sorry we made a mistake, no problem, if manager would have said I'm sorry no problem, but to intimate you've been here an hour with no food because we saw you eating bread, is no ownership or accountability and that's the problem. We overpaid and the restaurant underdelivered.

Waited an hour on a back patio for tiny bowl of noddles and sausage and a pizza for $70!! Talk about price gauging. If there is a staff shortage you shouldn't be seating tons of people that you cannot give quality food to in Napa Valley.
