Our server very personable and I really liked the guy at turkey station, he was sweet and good at his job. I would recommend Sante for any special occation.

Came here for our last night in Napa for my birthday and Bottega did not disappoint. This restaurant was highly recommended to me by multiple people who had visited Napa prior. Our server was attentive, the food was delicious, and I appreciated that the staff took notice that it was my birthday and went above and beyond for me. We can't stop raving about our experience! Definitely a must-try if you're in the Napa area.
