About the Restaurant

Bistro Don Giovanni, owned by Donna and Giovanni Scala, has been a local favorite on the Highway 29 corridor north of Napa since the early 1990s. The menu changes daily with Italian classics, drawing on the restaurant's own culinary garden.

Sonoma Magazine mentions carpaccio, lamb meatballs, lemon-cream ravioli, roasted chicken and a wood-fired fig pizza. The grounds include al fresco seating with sculptures above a large water feature.

Getting There With a Chauffeur

Bistro Don Giovanni serves straight through the day, so it is a flexible lunch stop on Highway 29 between downtown Napa and Yountville or Oakville. Since the lot is small, arriving by chauffeur skips the parking scramble.

Typical drive times to Bistro Don Giovanni (without traffic):

From St. Helena: about 17 minutes (10 miles)
From Yountville: about 22 minutes (14 miles)
From Calistoga: about 26 minutes (18 miles)
From downtown Napa: about 33 minutes (21 miles)
From the Sonoma Plaza: about 51 minutes (35 miles)

Your chauffeur drops you at the door, waits while you dine, and drives everyone home. Gratuity is always included in our prices. Call or text 833-915-2436, or reserve online.
