"Swordfish was excellent, but Linguine with Clams was substandard (tasted very fishy and not much flavor.) Needed some additional seasoning or sauce."

"Authentic and delicious Italian food. Example - the pizzette with anchovies came as a delicious, thin crust pizzette with delicate herbs and olive oil and fresh, marinated (in lemon, herbs, and oil) anchovies. Just like Italy. Great wine selection, too."

"Chicken picatta and Spahetti and meatballs were delicious. Bread was served with oil and vineagar and small romaine salad was overpriced for $9. Cannoli dessert was disappointing and left a terrible taste in your mouth, couldn't even finish it. More of a bar scene than couples dinner place due to loud noise from bar."

"They did not have our reservation in their computer - even though I had a confirmation from Open Table. They did seat us. There were available tables all through our dining experience.Did not have salt/pepper on table. Did not offer bread. Did not offer cheese or crushed red peppers with any of the Italian dishes. I was still hungry after eating my entree. Food good - could have used more."

"Favorite was the Manila clam to start. Really enjoyed the broth it was in - white wine,
garlic, chili oil and salami picante. The Red Dragon cocktail recommended by one of their other diners was great. They also had a red wine on the bottom of their menu I've never heard of, but it was very good - had 2 glasses of that.

My husband had the spaghetti carbonara with an egg on top. I had the short rib. The spinach was seasoned well, and yummy. However, for me, the polenta was a little to creamy - I'm used to my polenta having more texture.

I forgot what the dessert was called, but it was 3 what seemed like wonton skins rolled and filled with a hazelnut, chocolate and lemon filling. That was the only thing we would have skipped."

"Not a bad choice if you want to eat in downtown Calistoga. The food was good, not great, which is the standard in Napa Valley. The area has better to offer if you are willing to drive a little."
