Their friendship and working relationship, which has lasted over 20 years was so successful, they decided to pool their resources and stake a claim in downtown Napa's expanding culinary scene. Their aim was to create their own version of classic world cuisine in a comfortable space where family and community could gather for any occasion. The twist is evident in the menus, which sample fare from around the globe. Guests can choose from traditionally prepared Mexican Empanadas or timeless American favorites like the Lamb Burger and St. Louis Ribs. Other options include Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Chinese Chicken Salad and Seasonal Risotto. Our Wine & Beer List includes local wines leaning toward small producers & craft brews.

We had bahn mi sandwiches, noodle salad and the oxtail pappardelle. The pasta was the winner of the dishes - delicious and comfort food! That said the other dishes were also great. Noodle salad was fresh and flavorful. Bahn mi sandwiches were chowed down by our guests. Great experience with excellent service and an ecclectic menu.

From start to finish, every detail of our experience was outstanding. If you’re in Napa Valley, Carpe Diem Napa is a must-visit—you won’t be disappointed!

The staff and owner were very attentive to my dad and our party. It was his birthday, and making it special at his age was important for it to feel memorable. They did great, and the food was delicious on top of that. Even Santa showed up to share blessings and good cheer. Thank you for making it special.
