Fodor's Expert Review Bistro Don Giovanni
$$$
Napa
Italian
The chefs at this boisterous bistro with a roadhouse feel prepare inventive, comforting Cal-Italian food. Regulars, some since the restaurant's mid-1990s debut, favor the fritto misto (lightly battered deep-fried calamari, onions, fennel, and rock shrimp), spinach ravioli with lemon-cream or tomato sauce, slow-braised lamb shank with Tuscan-bean ragout, and wood-fired pizza with Italian ham, egg, wild mushrooms, artichokes, mozzarella, and truffle pecorino.
