Napa Valley Bistro was opened in 2013 by chefs Bernardo Ayala and Ernesto Martinez, (also co-owner of Market in St. Helena). Their friendship and working relationship, which has lasted over 20 years was so successful, they decided to pool their resources and stake a claim in downtown Napa's expanding culinary scene. Their aim was to create their own version of classic world cuisine in a comfortable space where family and community could gather for any occasion. The twist is evident in the menus, which sample fare from around the globe. Guests can choose from traditionally prepared Mexican Empanadas or timeless American favorites like the Lamb Burger and St. Louis Ribs. Other options include Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Chinese Chicken Salad and Seasonal Risotto. Our Wine & Beer List includes local wines leaning toward small producers & craft brews.

    Our family night out was nice! We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere was great and the ambiance was nice! However, the noise level was too high, you really couldn’t hear your significant others voice but we made it work. Thank you for allowing us to attend your establishment for dinner.

    Hello Jay! The noise level can raise on busy nights as we are a small restaurant. Thank you for the feedback and we are glad to hear you enjoyed the dinner!
