The service was excellent. The wine came out and the bottle had turned. The Sea bass was over done and very greasy. The tomato soup and green bean were excellent. Over all, we won’t recommend.

This is the second time we’ve had the tasting dinner and both the entre and wine selections are superb. You have the option of five or 8 courses and the wine pour is generous. Not outrageously expensive, the staff are attentive and friendly. Cozy bistro atmosphere — perfectly located in the midst of Napa shopping. Call ahead to express your interest in the tasting menu: you won’t see it on the menu.

We had Christmas dinner here, and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious. Two of us had the squid ink linguini with mixed shellfish and my husband had the chicken parm. Portions were quite small on the linguini dish and I kind of wish our meals could have included a salad or something, but that’s ok. Service was extremely quick and super-friendly. I would love to go back if we’re in the area again!

We had the pleasure of dining at Carpe Diem Napa during our trip to Napa Valley, and it was so incredible we couldn’t resist going back a second time before heading home! The food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their amazing wine selection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with impeccable service that made us feel so welcomed. From start to finish, every detail of our experience was outstanding. If you’re in Napa Valley, Carpe Diem Napa is a must-visit—you won’t be disappointed!
