Best Lunch Restaurants in Napa

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.

Tired of just OK food and service?! In the heart of downtown Napa, you’ll find SCALA . . . offering phenomenal food with stellar service, great energetic ambience (without being too loud) and counter seating at the full bar with all their menu offerings . . . not to mention front row/box seats at the Chef‘s counter overlooking the kitchen/crew and pizza oven ~ and don’t forget the oyster bar too . . . We’ve been more times than we care to admit (lol). Some of our favorites include . . . the Veal “Scala-ppini” marsala and mushroom sauce ($36) that will leave you wondering what you’ve been eating at other restaurants . . . to the Pork Chop Milanese lemon, capers and butter sauce ($32) that’s pounded flatter than a pancake, super moist with a slight crunch ~ Note: make sure to ask for extra sauce (on the side) as you’ll want to swim in it . . . we could keep going with the menu items, although we’ll end with their over the top Lasagna (classic) layered with bolognese and bechamel sauces ($32) and whatever you do, do not share or ask anyone if they’d like to try it, as you’ll never see it again. 

The food was delicious, I recommend the crab salad. The service was excellent.

Great food, great wine, great service. We hope to go back when we are in Napa.

Outstanding cocktails with delicious sushi! The miso soup is a must-have prior to the large selection of other outstanding entree choices.
