An Unexpected Highlight of Our 10th Anniversary Trip!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My wife and I were celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary in Yountville and managed to snag a last-minute cancellation at Bottega. What started as a spontaneous dinner turned into one of the most memorable dining experiences of our trip!
From the moment we arrived, restaurant manager Steven Moya warmly welcomed us and personally walked us through his recommendations. We decided to trust his suggestions, and every dish exceeded our expectations.
The Pasta Fritta was absolutely phenomenal—one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! The sweet, creamy mascarpone paired with salty prosciutto was an incredible combination of flavors and textures. The carbonara was perfectly al dente, with every bite leaving me wanting more. The burrata was delicious, and the short rib was rich, savory, tender, and everything we hoped for in an entrée.
My wife’s blood-orange margarita was also one of the best margaritas I’ve tasted, and the chocolate lava cake was a wonderful finish.
Our server, Tamara, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the evening.
Between the exceptional food, warm hospitality, and beautiful autumn atmosphere of Yountville, we couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you don’t plan.
Thank you, Steven, Tamara, and the entire Bottega team for making our anniversary celebration even more special. We would happily return and highly recommend Bottega to anyone visiting Napa Valley!
