Very comfortable Italian restaurant with generally authentic food. Service was good. They have a full-bar; but both of our cocktails (Manhattan and “dry” Vodka Martini) were too sweet. Chicken Parmigiana with Tagliatelle was outstanding; Risotto with Salmon was also very tasty. We ordered a side order of the Focaccia, which was a nice bread, but not really a traditional Focaccia…too bread-like. Overall, a nice and relaxed restaurant in Calistoga. Prices were typical. Wed go back.

We had a lovely meal after an afternoon of wine tasting. Peter was a delightful server and the rest of the staff was so friendly. The salmon risotto was delicious and my partner said his steak was superb!

Bene Bene! This place was soo good, I came here after my trip from Italy and it made me miss it even more. The service was beyond amazing and very friendly. I had the Linguine alla Chitarra...muah bella! Soo good plus Im a sucker for seafood. We ended with deserts and tried one of everything and that couldnt have gone better. The affogato with vanilla gelato was perfect. Its the perfect place after a day of tastings.

Its rare in Calistoga to find a dining establishment with both excellent food AND a full liquor license. Fortunately, Bricco Osteria is one such place! As the name promises, Bricco offers a breadth of excellent Italian dishes that could hold their own in both Romes old town and the discerning neighborhood Osteria. And since theyve shelled out for the rare full liquor license, Bricco is going to make damn sure you know it: the cocktails are more than worth the $$$. A must visit!

We ate too fast to take pictures, but I’m really picky when t comes to over dressing salads and this team does it perfectly - each piece covered perfectly and no dripping or drooping. We are vegetarian and they changed the sauce for the ravioli to accommodate, the pastas with vodka sauce was perfect. Cocktails weren’t too sweet. Highly recommend!

We elected to dine on Friday night shortly after 5pm. Good call. Table on the sidewalk and enjoyed the weather. Service fantastic. Food spectacular. Prices were reasonable. Great for 2 to 6 in your party.

Best Italian food I have everThe spinach soup - it melt with the flavor of cheese!The mussels with freshest taste and the match of unforgettable of the white sauce is a must try.Calamari - so impress with the sidesLow temp braised beef. - the beef is super soft, you can use the fork to easily tears and separate it. With the pasta infuse so well with the red sauce the the juice of the beefTiramisu. Worths to wait. This is the first tiramisu I ever have with the lady fingers are still crunchy. Cream is super smooth!

Overall, an excellent meal. Yummy food with good portions, flawless service, comfortable atmosphere.Arancini - could feel individual pieces of risotto, lightly fried, balanced and light tomato sauce, no skimp on basil leaves. I wouldnt be mad if there was some more cheese. Would order again.Bruschetta - fresh with plenty of basil. Bread was dense without being mushy, but I felt it was slightly too dense.Seafood linguine - perfectly cooked seafood, al dente pasta, balanced sauce. Would order again.Lamb shank osso bucco - perfectly cooked lamb, creamy risotto, some freshness from the asparagus. Delicious. The fat drippings from the lamb made the risotto borderline unctuous, so I couldnt finish it in one sitting. Others photos of lamb shank sauce seem less fatty than the one I ate.Wines by the glass were good. No official cocktail menu yet, but our server did mention they had cocktails. Im curious to try but wanted wine today.Service was attentive, accommodating, and smooth. Id love to go back.

We stopped here for dinner after visiting for the Christmas parade on Dec 2nd. The ambience and the service were excellent. They have interesting Turkish lamps all over the place. We ordered the three color salad, fried calamari, risotto with salmon and linguine with seafood and everything was superb. Will come back for sure.

Found this restaurant traveling back from Nappa. Its a great little restaurant that has recently open in Calistoga. Small restaurant maybe 10-12 tables busy during dinner hours. The kitchen is wide open to the left as you walk in. You can smell the wonderful aroma of Italian dishes being made. We arrived with no reservations waited maybe 15 minutes for a table. We were served complimentary wine while we waited, kodos to that! Service was good given how busy it was. Dishes were tasty loved the bruschetta, great wines to compliment the dinners. We had lasagna and the veal special both were delicious.
