    My husband and I went to Scala to enjoy our 7 year anniversary and they really went above and beyond to make it special. Greeted with champagne and a card. The cocktails were great, the food was delicious and came out ripping hot. And they treated us to a vanilla gelato for our anniversary.

    Such a lovely welcome dinner for our first night in Napa. I highly recommend the braised pork belly and the beet salad for appetizers, and the cassoulet and steak-frite for the main course. I didn’t care much for the chocolate cake—I found it a bit dry, but based on the rest of the incredible food we enjoyed, I’m more than happy to come back and try their other desserts. Come eat here for your first night in this beautiful town!
