    Food was excellent, from starters to dessert. We had the fried polenta, endive and hummus for starters, a gem salad to split, vegan lasagna, and full on meat bolognese for mains, and bread pudding and ‘snickers’ bar for desserts. Service was excellent and unobtrusive - although very attentive to details and personable. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

    Loved it loved it loved it! Beef cheeks course was our favorite and maybe the best morsel of meat I’ve ever had the pleasure of wolfing down! Servers and managers were on their A-game. Including the tip in the pricing is how all restaurants should go. Will definitely be back!

    We come to Lovina every year for the Calistoga Tractor Parade and despite it being one of the busiest nights of the year the experience is always exactly like we are used too. Exceptional food, ambiance and the friendliest, but still professional, staff.

    The lasagne is perfection. . A more than generous portion and when I didn't finish all of it they expertly packaged it so that I'll have it today for lunch. Lively and lovely place with an exceptional staff who seem to love what they do.
