Yountville · Restaurant · $$$
Worth the trip?
Absolutely.
Yes when you want Yountville without the full special-occasion production.
Our Take
One of Yountville's better choices when you want excellent food without the formality the town can sometimes bring. Handmade pasta, sourdough pizza and live-fire cooking make it easy to have either a serious dinner or a relaxed night in the courtyard.
It lands between casual and celebratory, making it useful for a weeknight dinner or a night worth lingering over.
