This was such a find. Even though little Yountville has turned into the "high end dining meca" of the Napa Valley, Bottega was so un-assuming and had such a casual feel to it that our dinner here turned out to be amazing. The food was fantastic, it definitely had a "homemade" feel to it. It didn't hurt that Chef Chiarello... more

I travel regularly to Yountville for the phenomenal restaurants. I really wanted to like Bottega but there were too many mistakes and gimmicks and mediocre service. First, there are copper spittoons on the table that I initially thought were for wine tasting but then they filled them up with drinking water. In this area, taste is everything and metal doesn't... more

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Napa Valley and stayed in Yountville. This section of town is a real gem and if you ever get the chance to stay there, do! Some of the best restaurants in the country live in this beautiful area and one of our favorites was Bottega. We knew that we wanted to eat... more

The menu is creative and extensive, and the food itself is equally imaginative and prepared with interesting and exceiting flavours. Staff are warm, attentive and very professional, and the talented executive chef hails from Vancouver, Canada. For such a large restaurant, the feeling is intimate and cozy, and the staff work as a cohesive family team. Bring a bottle of... more

We had 8:30 reservations. At 8:50 the Matre 'D appoligized to us and bought us a round of drinks. At 9 he told us appetizers were on him. He handled the situation very professonal. The food was outstanding, as well as the service and wine list. It is a fun atmosphere. It is definately worth another trip. more

Creative, delicious cooking in a packed, loud atmosphere. We didn't have reservations (and we were told they were "totally committed"), but that we could sit at the bar IF a spot opened. 15 minutes later, we grabbed two seats as they became available. The bartender, although very busy, treated us with top level service. We shared the octopus appetizer -... more

Very unique and interesting dishes. And everything was very good. more

We spent a few hours sitting on the patio having appetizers and wine next to the fireplace. Service was friendly and food was great. Met a group from Minnesota who joined us in conversation and laughs. Will go back next time in Napa. We were probably luckier than others because it was not as busy due to the crush being... more

So looking forward to eating here and then the disappointment. Had to wait an hour and a half for a table, my mistake no reservations. We could have eaten at the bar, but the seating is up for grabs and tons of people stand behind you waiting for you to choke your food down. So we waited and waited and... more
