We love Auberge, especially sitting out on the deck. It is pricey, but the ambiance, which is superlative, must be taken into consideration.

The luncheon menu features unique ingredient combinations, unexpected flavors, innovative menu choices, and locally sourced ingredients, all superbly prepared. The Dungeness crab fondue was terrific. I ordered the Short Rib Ravioli with porcini mushroom ragu, plated with freshly grilled asparagus and topped with pecorino. Every bite was mouth-watering. My guest raved about her Forest Mushroom Risotto. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake was amazing.

Came here for our last night in Napa for my birthday and Bottega did not disappoint. This restaurant was highly recommended to me by multiple people who had visited Napa prior. Our server was attentive, the food was delicious, and I appreciated that the staff took notice that it was my birthday and went above and beyond for me. We can't stop raving about our experience! Definitely a must-try if you're in the Napa area.
