Beautiful nicely decorated Italian interior. Warm and friendly welcome. Perfect soft and not too loud 1940s & 50s (I think) music playing. Quick efficient service. Our orders taken right away. Freshly baked hot pizza with generous toppings. Crunchy but still moist dough. Simple bread elevated to another level with all the generous cheese and toppings. Fettuccine Alfredo's aldente pasta loaded with cheese just as enjoyable. Only comment was on the plate of grilled chicken. Chicken was dry and overcooked. Mushroom and broccoli were ok. Soft but not mushy. Still had some crunch in it. Meatball with sauce was delicious (loved the sauce). Soup ok but mild and lacking the stronger Italian seasoning I was expecting. Overall, it was a nice family lunch with sweetheart and my oldest son's family.

Our 2nd time here. Love the cozy family layback vibes. It wasn't crowded as it was a week night. We ordered the Italian feast for 2. Massive portion! Can feed 3 for sure. The 11" cheese pizza was good. The spaghetti and lasagna were simple but satisfying. We also had the linguine with clams. The taste was good and the clam portion was v generous. But the clams were tiny and some were mushy(?). But overall a great place to have a hearty meal and good service!

Awesome genuine Italian restaurant in Napa! Very reasonable prices, especially for Napa! Where the locals eat. Offerring traditional Italian family friendly favorites like garlic cheese bread, minestrone soup, beef ravioli in meat sauce, and cannolis. Best beef ravioli in meat sauce I have had in a long time. Great food, great service, great ambiance, at a great price!

We were so happy to find this location, we have been to the San Diego location numerous times & loved it! We have been to this location a few times now & absolutely love it. This location is perfect in Napa with lots of shops & the food is amazing. They usually have nice music playing, I love when the older Italian music is playing:) The service is always great with pleasant servers who want to be there. We have had pizza which is delicious & the spaghetti with meatballs also delicious Can't wait to return!

An old school Italian Restaurant across from the Oxbow Public Market. It isn't that inviting from the outside. My husband was craving Italian food so we thought we'd try it out. Our back up plan was the Oxbow Public Market. We yelped it as we stood outside and it got 4 stars so we took the chance. When we entered there was a sign that said please wait to be seated. We were not greeted upon arrival, which was odd as several employees just passed us as we stood there. Someone could have said we'll be right with you, even though it wasn't there job to seat people. Eventually we were greeted and we had our choice of seats. The place was empty. The baseball playoffs were going on so we sat in the bar. As we sat down a steady stream of people came in. We were there on a Saturday evening around 5pm. So, we were a little early for the dinner rush. Once we sat down one other the people that just passed us as we waited to be seated greeted us, he was the bar tender and he served the people that sat outside and those in the bar. It seemed a little too much for him. He was really being pulled all ways. He greeted as soon as we sat down and given menus and as he took our drink order he brought us water. My husband then ordered a beer after our waters were being delivered. We ordered the anti pasta salad, It was really good. It had salami, baloney, cheese squares, Olives both black cut up and whole green ones with the pits, and a banana pepper. We also ordered the small margarita pizza. Both hit the spot. The small pizza was the perfect size for us, we even took a piece home. Overall we'd go back. The food was good and service was ok. Prices were reasonable especially compared to other Napa eateries. It was also nice to sit down and be served, as compared to Oxbow Public market.

Lovely restaurant with a lovely ambience! The inside gives a warm and cozy vibe, like you're in the comfort of one's home. The food was great and hit the spot. I ordered the margherita pizza with prosciutto and it tasted great. I also ordered a side of beef ravioli (not pictured) and it was so juicy and flavorful and saucy, just how I like it! Service was great--the server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Would come back to try the other menu items!

We really enjoyed our meal here. It was walking distance from our hotel (The Westin Verasa) and when we saw some good reviews on here we decided to try it. My kids had some pizza that they really enjoyed. They were a little surprised to see sliced fresh tomato on the pizza but they didn't worry too much and actually ate it. If that is something that will bother your kids though on a Margarita pizza, ask for it without. I enjoyed the chicken parm and I changed up my sauce on my spaghetti side to a creamy pesto. So yummy! This came with garlic bread and a really good sized salad with all kinds of yummy additions such as beans, pepperoncini and olives. The staff helping us was so friendly, patient and just attentive enough. I really don't like being bothered all night while out to dinner, but do expect some attention. This really was perfect. The restaurant is a red checker table cloth kind of restaurant and has a real old school family style feel to it. I loved that. Very comfortable with the kids and everyone had a good time.

We come to Napa several times a year from Phoenix. Filippi's is always a must on our eatery list. This year we decided to change it up and order something besides their great pizza. My husband wanted to share the meal for 2. Soup or salad, pizza, spaghetti and Lasagna, as the expression goes enough to "feed an Army" all for $30.95... The food was fantastic. Our server Mary Jo was pleasant, efficient and must really like her job as she has worked at Filippi's for 25 years. This family owned restaurant has figured out how to satisfy their customers with a home cooked meal, in a clean, well run establishment without breaking the bank. We will be eating leftovers for days. Thank you to the De Phillippis
