Bistro Don Giovanni

"Bistro Don Giovanni was a great Italian restaurant in Napa. We reserved for a table of 4 on a Saturday night and got seated immediately by the patio area. They served bread, vinaigrette and olive oil to start. We had the Shrimp Risotto, Gnocchi but the best food was the Ravioli with Lemon Sauce, so refreshing and different! The only thing I can complain is that I felt the service staff was overwhelmed with waiting on too many tables so it took a while for them to take our orders and refilled our drinks. Parking is not too crowded as long as you get an earlier reservation. Highly recommended!"

"This restaurants’s food is too good for its own good. It has a lot of customers and the wait staff cannot keep up with it. It is always too busy for the staff to do a thorough and professional job at waiting on tables. They brought bread to the table but no butter or olive oil or balsamic vinegar. We waited for 20 minutes for the server to take our drink order, it took another 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive, then he took our order and forgot to bring the octopus salad to us. If I had not told him about it, he would’ve never known that the salad was never brought to the table. He comped the salad. To the management: increase the wait staff!"

"It's been more than 20 years since I've been to this restaurant and it is still fabulous. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the guys loved their pasta dishes. The tiramisu was fresh and nicely flavored. The chocolate cake and butterscotch pudding were lovely. Portions were generous, but not too much. Service was attentive, but not overly so. I look forward to making homemade pizza tomorrow with dough we purchased tonight."
