Located in the heart of the Napa Valley, Ciccio features a dynamic, yet simple menu of pizzas and Italian entrees driven by our beautiful wood-fire oven and locally sourced ingredients (some of which come from our own gardens.) We hope that you can sit down, relax, and have fun while enjoying our food and wine!

LOVED this place. A friend and I had an open evening so we decided to visit Ciccio on a recommendation. They had fantastic specials and the decor is fun representing the owner's interest in racing of classic cars. My friend and I split a couple of dinners and then each had a dessert of white peach sorbet - perfect topper! Isabella was our wonderful server and she "made" my opinion of the entire place just on her personality. Open kitchen showcases a gorgeous pizza oven decorated entirely with red tiles. Amazing. Made a great pizza! We had custom jalapeño martinis too!

Wanted some good French food while in the wine country and found this restaurant on trip advisor. It was awesome. The food and wine was delicious and authentic and the vibe was fantastic. The service was top notch. We had made a reservation and had the best seat in the House next to a beautiful fire place. We made friends with the people at the table next to us and even shared desert. Make sure you make a reservation as you need it !!

Of the chocolate shops we visited. this was my favorite. Very nice shop with nice staff. Absolutely beautiful chocolates with very unique flavors such as Fennel Pollen, Chai, Lavender, Sunflower Seed Praline and more. I did buy a 4 piece box (8.75) and One of the Poppy Saffron Bars (toasted poppy seeds and saffron in white chocolate $3.00)...excellent.

Being a total coffee snob, I tried Bouchon Bakery and Atelier JCB before declaring MiniModel the undisputed winner for best coffee in Yountville. We also tried their breakfast sandwich which did not disappoint. And I loved standing outside in the brisk morning sunshine.

Local favorite in the heart of Napa Valley. Be sure to try our versions of classic American dishes like the Reubenesque Sandwich, the Chicken and Spinach Salad, and our Three-Layer Carrot Cake with toasted walnuts and mascapone icing. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

When I want a great cheeseburger I don't need large bun, lots of lettuce and condiments. My rainbow roll sushi seemed to be moist within the sushi roll ( mayo??? mixed with the crab?)
The restarant itself is set up nicely for indoor/outdoor seating and drinks and appetizers is the way to go here.

This is truly one for the bucket list. Was the food fantastic, yes. Was it just food, no. Wait...let me explain it to you like someone else did. True, it is just food but it is also an experience. True, the Mona Lisa is just paint but it is also exceptional art (smile). I enjoyed eating there and I loved the wait staff. When I expressed how delicious the oysters and pearls were by fighting a strong desire to take my finger and wipe the juice from the bowl, my waitperson laughed and said "there are no judgments here, enjoy yourself". And we certainly did! No, I did not wipe the bowl...darn! I did not get "pretentiousness" from my servers or maître d'. I felt they were genuinely happy to see the patrons happy. I have fond memories already and am very willing to spend money again to see the joy on the person's face I elect to share this experience with. I must note that it is not for everyone. You see, I think it is more of a state of mind, along with the good food. Oh, feel free to tell the staff what you want to spend on the wine pairing (if you want wine) as they are very accommodating. Don't come to judge and worry if you are getting your money's worth. If that tends to be your state of mind then there will always be a "but" in your opinion of the meal. Relax, enjoy and laugh! Oh, I apologize to the serving staff for not remembering their names but suffice it to say that they were the "bomb!"

Chef Michael Chiarello has returned to his culinary roots by creating seasonal farm-to-table Italian cuisine reflecting the bold flavors of Chiarello’s heritage in his signature style 1st made famous at Tra Vigne in the 90’s. An award winning chef/vintner & Food Network host, Chiarello celebrates his Italian roots and the Napa Valley with a menu echoing his long practice of using the finest locally/sustainably produced food. Located in Yountville, in the heart of the Napa Valley, Bottega’s extensive wine list represents hard-to-find favorites of the Valley and interesting Italian selections. Chiarello restored the integrity of an old 1800’s estate by uncovering beautiful hard wood floors, timber beams, old brick walls and windows. The inviting dining room is accented with reclaimed antiques, warm fabrics and eclectic light fixtures lending to the restaurant’s old world comfort.

My constant refrain about restaurants in Napa Valley (which is sold as a food Mecca) is that they are overpriced and pretentious, and that the food underperforms. I found Bottega to be a pleasant exception. Although "Italian", it is Northern Italian with a nice variety and some very unique appetizers/salads ("antipasti"), modern pasta dishes (paste) and meat and seafood dishes ("secondi"). All dishes we had (four of us) were excellent, including the gnocchi pillows, the chicken "under a brick," the short ribs and the ravioli di uovo. Serving size is generous without being glutinous, and the paste are, for the most part, perfectly adequate for a main course. Ambiance is clean, heavy brick and fireplaces with warm dim light. Service is prompt and helpful without the overzealous fawning over the exceptionalism of each dish that is so common in Napa. Wine list is decent although Napa focused, but has several selections that are designed to provide pleasure without the need for a mortgage.

This is our first time and first dinner in Napa. We went away totally impressed. We had amazing oysters to start, French onion soup and a foie gras as appetizers. The main dish lamb confit & the night's special crispy skin sea trout was out of this world, it's that good!

This restaurant is popular- with locals and tourists. We visited on a weeknight so it wasn’t overly crowded - especially during this slower period before the high season begins. Decor is contemporary and comfortable. Service is attentive. Dishes are creative.
My husband couldn’t decide what to have so ended up having several appetizers instead of an entree. He was a little underwhelmed by the yellow fin tartare but was wowed by the duck potstickers. I had the gnocchi and the dish was very good.
We were a little surprised that there were not many wines by the glass - lots of bottles but much fewer by the glass options.
The cookies and cream dessert was so good my husband nearly ordered a second.
This wasn’t our favorite meal of our trip, but was worth the visit.
