Bistro Don Giovanni
Traditional Italian
Copper pans hang near the open kitchen at this warm Italian bistro that's been woven into the fabric of Napa Valley long enough to count as an institution. The pasta is made in-house with the kind of al dente chew that takes practice, and the fritto misto is crackly and uncluttered. Tourists and wine-country regulars share the room with equal comfort, which is a harder trick than it sounds.

Short rib ravioli
“The fritto misto ($20) is crackly and uncomplicated, while pastas are made in-house and have that desirable al dente chew — order the pasta of the day like the recent short rib ravioli ($34).”

Salmon
“For entrees, the salmon ($38), on a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes, is deceptively straightforward, but a seared crust makes it shine.”
