Best Italian Restaurants in Calistoga

Wonderful local place with great food. The owner is terrific as is the bartender/waiter. The owner even offered us a ride back to our hotel if our ride didn’t show up.

Second visit after an incredible experience in Sept. This visit was also incredible. Service is excellent and not rushed. We chose a dining room table as it was cold outside (note you can select that on OpenTable as the patio while enclosed and with heaters seemed cold to me). There are numerous “rooms” and cubby’s to sit. One cool place is high top tables in the bar. Very cozy and warm. But we chose the dining room. Food was super tasty and enjoyable. See comments on individual dishes with the pictures attached. One picture we missed was the spinach salad. So yummy! Bacon, walnuts, capers and goat cheese make this a winner. We split it and it was a nice salad before entree especially if you have an appetizer. The wine list is extensive with a generous California selections. We enjoyed a nice Papapietro Perry Pinot noir single vineyard in part to try out this producer (wonderful cherry nose and smooth and tasty). Will have to now go check out the winery! Going to be tough and have something other than the carbonara but will need to as the menu is very extensive. Only criticism is sparkling water is $9 a bottle. That seems excessive. Pretty amazing when that was my only criticism!

Very refreshing and interesting ingredients. We really enjoy the food and the restaurant. Will come back next time.

Always a treat. Due to inclement weather, everyone was inside, causing an energetic atmosphere. Staff was hopping, but very cordial. Despite the volume, the quality of food was excellent.

Attentive service, every dish served made each person say yum out loud. Chef Jude knows how to Cook and is the most welcoming host.
