    This was one of my worst experiences at a restaurant. The food was good, but they brought a member of our party the wrong food. At first the server tried to tell her it was what she ordered and then agreed it was not. 30 min later they finally brought her the correct food. They offered us no discount or anything at all to accommodate this error.

    As always the Service at Bistro Don Giovanni is the best. The food is great and it’s a nice casual restaurant. I go there a few times a year and am never disappointed.

    Great spot near Downtown Napa for a nice Italian meal in the vineyards. Our server was professional and attentive and our food was great. We were a party of 7 and all would order the same thing again except for the Spicy Italian pizza. Was very good once the broccoli was removed as it gave the pie a funky texture and taste. Ravioli was fantastic and the bolognese is a must do.

    Don Giovani is and has been an icon in the Napa Valley restaurant scene. The place is located in one of the most charming spots in the valley floor. Surrounded by vineyards and with plenty pf parking, getting there is a breeze. You are greeted by friendly staff and are sat close to a large fountain where many will drop coins and make wishes. Not Trevi of course but it sets the ambience for a great meal. We were served by Jesus but almost anyone in the area was ready to respond to our questions. The Octopus was just delicious and the salad was a perfect companion to the octopus. The sole and chicken were cooked just right. Overall, it was a great experience to go to on a Sunday afternoon. Price wise, it is not cheap. I believe that this will continue to be an issue with all prices for everything for the next years. This makes going out a bit restrictive. But this was a good experience and I am glad we chose to go there.
