Cook St. Helena

"Our daughter tipped us to make a reservation on our stay in St Helena. She was right. It was a great experience with excellent service and attention. Attached is a pic of my risotto with veal & mushrooms and my wife's eggplant Parmesan. Delicious."

"Pasta is homemade. It's really good. Fazzoletie is perfect. My kiddo ordered hamburger, perfect cooked meat, and nice chiabbata."

"5 star food, everything was amazing. The vibes are very country club if you know what I mean. My iron deficient girlfriend was freezing in there so bring a jacket. We got a Negroni and the John Daly to drink. Both were great. We started with the calamari and burrata. The aioli with the calamari was superb. We got the last order of the short rib. It was a lot of meat so keep that in mind when ordering. It was super tender and the mashed potatoes/gravy it came with were perfect complements. Then we got the gnocchi and risotto. The gnocchi was so slay, period. Very garlicky and creamy, and the gnocchi itself was like pillows and melts in your mouth. The risotto was super tasty and came with crisped halibut. The texture was great, crispy but still soft. The arugula and pear were great additions. For dessert we got was a brown mundae (jk it’s called mundae). It was a super unique take on the classic sundae. It was chocolate/vanilla ice cream topped with olive oil, flaky salt and condensed balsamic vinegar. The vinegar and salt were amazing and added a cool twist to the dish."

"Stopped here for lunch while staying in St. Helena and we left full and impressed. The best pasta I have had in a long time! We started with the calamari, which was good but nothing all that special about it. I got the cavatelli and my wife got the pasta of the day which was a linguini with braised pork shoulder. The gentleman next to us offered a sample of his gnocchi while we waited for our food and they were decadent and fluffy, I would definitely order that next time! The cavatelli was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was lightly spiced and full of flavor. Rhe sausage in the sauce made for a hearty meal even though the portion didn't look that big. My wife's pasta was even better; the sauce was rich and creamy which paired well with the pork and sweet corn. You might have to wait for a table, but it is worth it."

"Really good restaurant in downtown St. Helena. There aren't many vetoes when considering eating here. - Excellent cocktail list - Diverse and food friendly wine selection - Hand-made pasta - Lots of rotating specials - Engaging and attentive staff from moment you enter It appears this is local hang-out, as staff seemed to recognize most guests. Venue isn't open on weekends, very strict regarding their closing time and overall quite quaint, so book in advance...or plan to sit at bar (or wait). They accept reservations on Open Table, so take advantage."
