The Yountville Restaurants of Michael Chiarello

Few Napa Valley luminaries embody California wine country spirit quite like Michael Chiarello. He's a vintner and a chef (who uses sustainable farming), an author, and an award-winning host for a variety of television networks. His hospitality and creativity have delighted palates the world over, and at SENZA Hotel, we're happy to recommend his amazing, nearby restaurants to our guests. Perfect for a snack before or after wine tasting, or to cap off a phenomenal day of strolling the Yountville art walk, the menus below are guaranteed to delight your senses!
 
Join us today on a virtual tour of Chef Chiarello's Napa Valley menus, from fine dining to the best burgers and ice cream you'll find in wine country.
 

Coqueta 6525 Washington St.Yountville, CA 94599 (707) 244-4350

A newer addition to Chef Chiarello's portfolio, Coqueta features his sumptuous exploration of Spanish flavors, with a unique Napa Valley take on everything from tapas to paella. The name means "flirt" or "infatuation," and both the playful and passionate sides of Coqueta are on display in the comprehensive menu. Start with a selection of rich cold cuts and Iberian cheeses, or light-hearted snacks like Chiarello's Iberian take on vinegar and chips dressed in shaved manchego.
 
For a heartier start, the kale salad features pickled stone fruits and candied almonds, or you can skip straight to hot tapas like the "Sunny Side-Up Huevas" with shrimp, garlic and pine nuts. Of course, the main attractions come straight off the grill and are served family-style, including house-specialty paellas. Desserts are hard to skip, and are named for the artists who inspired them – think Picasso if he were a pastry chef! A selection of seasonal cocktails round out a wine list with old and new world options. Reservations are a must at this Yountville hot spot!
 

Bottega, 6525 Washington St, Yountville CA 94599, (707)945-1050

Bottega offers guests the perfect blend of rustic and elegant, of new world wine country and fine Italian influence. An extensive patio provides a romantic setting for warm nights while indoor dining areas create a refined ambiance. Slide into a luxe leather chair and enjoy the work of the bottega, Italian for "artist's workshop." The dishes are indeed works of art, like the Uova Croccante con Pancetta Cotto, a pork belly glazed in rosemary balsamic with egg, and a warm pecorino and fig leaf budino with fresh black mission figs. Gluten-free menus are available for lunch and dinner as well, and be sure not to overlook dessert! The bar menu offers snacks like truffle-parmesan fries and calamari, as well as craft cocktails. You can reserve your table here.
 

Ottimo 6525 Washington St, Yountville CA 94599, (707)944-0102

Chef Chiarello's Ottimo in the V Marketplace offers guests not only delectable pizzas, but hand-crafted items they can take home! Chef Chiarello sees Ottimo as his chance to share wisdom gleaned from years of cooking, traveling, and sharing meals with old and new friends alike. The name "Ottimo" means "first rate" or "optimal" in Italian, and the menu lives up to the name. You can try the house made varieties of mozzarella on a plate with your choice of salumis, salsas, and other treats. Or, opt for a pizza like the traditional margherita, or a more innovative pie like the Selvaggio, topped with caramelized mushrooms, teleme, and garlic paste. Paninos, salads, and an extensive selection of wine are also available. Reservations can be made here.
