About the Restaurant

Violetto is the fine-dining room at Alila Napa Valley, a Hyatt luxury resort on Main Street at the north end of St. Helena. It is set inside the property's historic manor, in a room designed by Yabu Pushelberg.

Chef Mark Shoemaker serves seasonal four- and eight-course tasting menus with house-made pastas and seafood. Salvia, the resort's terrace restaurant and bar, serves a more casual menu.
