Really nice meal. They do a particularly nice job with pastas but the sides of Brussels sprouts and of asparagus were excellent. We split all 3 main dishes between our table of 5 (lamb, fish, pork) and they were all good. We had al 4 desserts and shared and the salted caramel balls were the best. Excellent service. This was our third time there and we will be back, for sure.
Our waiter, Gabrielle, was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. His recommendations were spot on. He was attentive when needed and absent when not. The bussers were equally trained to do the same. Perfect service. Thank you for a relaxing, enjoyable dinner.
We had such an incredible experience at this restaurant! Not only was the service amazing, but our server was well educated in our needs for a celiac friendly meal. It was so fun to watch my mother get to have a pasta dish and no that it was made with Care. The pistachio salad was by far my favorite thing that we ordered.

Awesome service and great food once again. It seems like there raising prices for some reason but well worth it. We had the Testarosa Porchetta Pizza and Lumache Ragu. Very Very good. If your in Napa stop by and check them out you won't be disappointed

After a day of winery tours we needed food and Oenotri did not disappoint! Great service, awesome food, quiet atmosphere.

Loved it ! We had the arancini and a pizza to boot. The arancini was a bit dry for my liking , but it did not take away from the dish. The pizza was great - Gorgonzola, asparagus , lemon. Service was attentive - good ambiance - good food. Will recommend .

I think this is one of the best place in Napa for pizza and lots of good Italian wines, Roberto is fantastic and their margaritas is out of this world.

Oenotri is a wonderful restaurant for a great Italian wine list, fresh, delicious pasta, and great staff. Madison, the sommelier, is excellent and has a vast knowledge of the Italian regional wine list. The pork ragu, and whenever Oenotri has truffles, the dishes are a must. Excellent pizza appetizer along with the Meyer lemon salad makes for a grand pre-pasta opener. Desserts are also excellent - the caramel cream puffs are delicious. Whenever you visit Napa, be sure to put this place on your list.

Was in last night...Ordered Pork Ragu. Very overpriced $35 for a small bowl of pasta that was made with ground pork not pork butt or shoulder. It was saltier than I like but was hungry so ate more than 1/2 of the bowl. Big mistake...woke up at midnight vomiting (6 times) up this meal. Not sure if it was too rich, too salty or someone wasn't clean but it made me violently ill. Of the five of us two of us ordered the same dish. Although my friend did not vomit, she did have other G.I. problems all day today, along with a very gurgly stomach. I left a message for the manager to call me back and so far haven't heard a word. One of the gals at our table ordered a special dish and it came cold. Then she sent it back to be heated up. It came back still cold so hungry she attempted to eat it. She said it tasted terrible and she told our waiter. They shrugged and smiled and said "oh they were sorry" and did nothing about it. I do not recommend this restaurant as I question the quality of their food.

Went here with five ladies on a Monday evening to celebrate a birthday. I had seen carbonara on the online menu a month before and had wanted to order it, but it wasn't being served that evening. I asked if they could possibly make it anyway, and the chef told the waiter yes. That was a mistake and I should have just ordered off the menu. The carbonara was made with a strange looking overcooked noodle and came to the table cold, so I asked for it to be heated up. When it came back to the table it was still cold, but in the interest of trying to make it a special birthday celebration and not continuing complaining, I said nothing. But as I started eating the carbonara, I thought it tasted terrible. It had a very smoky taste as if smoke flavoring was added. It seemed more like a fettuccine sauce and it was way too salty. I had my four other table companions taste my dish and all thought it tasted terrible. I discreetly got up to find our waiter and I told him how badly it tasted. He said something like "awww" with a sad face. Clearly nothing was going to be done. That night two of the women who ordered the pork ragu got sick. One badly (vomiting) and the other with upset tummy. The pasta dishes were small and ridiculously priced. So....never going to eat here again and I definitely do not recommend this place. Judging by the many 1, 2 and 3 star reviews, it's clear they don't really care.
Unassuming spot for high quality Italian food and great friendly service. Highly recommend.

We came here when we first moved to Napa and did not care for it so almost 8 months later, we thought we try it again and we have to say the food was not good. We had the bluefin tuna and there was no taste no sauce and it was cold, our appetizer was the asparagus and it was just all right. We had to ask for bread and we loved our server Stephanie personality plus, but you should get a different chef the bottom line because we have now gone to a lot of different restaurants and Napa since we live here and you don't even compare at all

The place is nice, modern and clean. The server was good and attentive, It took a while to get our food , but that's not the servers fault. The pizza was great!! But the rest of the food was mediocre. They had a big wine selection, but a little on the pricey side . Also they had very few options on their menu.

The service and food were both top tier; we're local and have been eating at Oenotri off and on for as long as they've been open, and our most recent visit was an affirmation that they are one of the premiere dining spots in Napa. However, with the hard surfaces and high ceilings, the management should mind the music volume because it gets really, REALLY loud in there. Like, shouting over a table loud. Bring the volume down a bit and the place is nearly perfect (plus, nobody needs Phil Collins's "Easy Lover" played that loud anyway)

Cool vibe, great pizza but then things went south. Chef stopped in with his family for a while and help teach pizza construction but then unfortunately left for home. The staff then got lost in the weeds. Pasta was overdone and god help me I have no idea what the Porchetta dish they served me was. Even the manager said it was an "abomination". They did the right thing and comped the dish but I was disappointed I didn't get to experience what I did as anticipating.
