Scala Osteria offers traditional Southern Italian, seafood-centered recipes meant to be shared with family and friends in our warm and vibrant dining room. Our menu is influenced by the traditional Italian osteria where creating simple yet delicious food is paramount, and our atmosphere is always inviting and full of life. From our beautiful oyster bar to our house-made pastas and Neapolitan style pizzas, we have something for everyone. We offer varying experiences, from folks grabbing a quick bite on their lunch hour, to couples stopping in to delight in our Oyster Bar, to parties spending hours enjoying delicious Southern Italian fare with perfectly paired wines. Sister restaurant to valley favorite, Bistro Don Giovanni, Scala Osteria is located on vibrant First Street in the heart of Downtown Napa. We are open daily for lunch, dinner from 11:30am to 10pm and late night service from 10-11pm.

    I had a very nice experience at Scala Osteria . From the welcoming in to the attentive service during my dining experience. My steak was delicious as well as the exquisite deserts of tiramisu, zeppole, and cannolis. Party of four lol. I would come again. Loved sitting upstairs getting the view of the whole restaurant. Thank you Scala Osteria!!

    Fabulous food, great service! Sit upstairs for a quieter experience. Eat the donuts for dessert - one of the five best desserts I have had!

    We loved our trip - starting off with an amazing salad then trying pizza, lasagne and veal! We wanted a nice place to take our out of town guests and this was a hit with them all. Good for couples families or groups I have no doubt we will be back

    Didn’t like the upstairs seating, especially hosting out of town guests—much prefer a bench seat table along the wall. Food was great.

    This restaurant was consistently recommended to us by locals and lucky for us our travel concierge booked it for our anniversary dinner . We absolutely loved it! To start the bread was to die for along with the olive oil dip and so was the olives . We both ordered the Dover sole and it was superb. Our waiter John provided exceptional service and definitely we will be back if we are in the area !
