About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

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.

I had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant! The lamb ravioli was absolutely delicious and to die for, with rich, bold flavors that made every bite enjoyable. The seafood fettuccine was also incredibly good—fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. Every dish was packed with taste, making the meal truly satisfying. Surprisingly, the restaurant was quite empty, so the atmosphere was peaceful and quiet—perfect for a relaxing dinner. While they don’t serve liquor, their wine selection was reasonably priced, and we opted for soju shots instead, which was a fun alternative. Overall, the food was outstanding, and the experience was great. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality flavors in a calm setting!

Napa Valley Bistro is amazing. We had a party of 12, 4 were kids. They were very accommodating with our two gluten free kids. They were very attentive. Food was amazing, we were there for the last day of their wild meat promotion. Boar Short Ribs and Rack of Venison were just to name a few of the specials. jWe had an early reservation and were the first to arrive but shortly after we sat down the place began to fill up. Although it was packed it was not too noisy and it was not cramped. Parking took a while to fine since it was the weekend. Calamari was very good and not overly breaded. We will definitely go back.
