SCALA OSTERIA & BAR

1141 FIRST STREET www.scalaosteria.com

Another new addition to the scene, this lively eatery offers traditional Southern Italian coastal fare, while the wine list spans Mediterranean as well as Napa varieties. It’s the perfect spot to linger over a long, wine-filled lunch with friends — an idyllic Italian escape right in our backyard. And if you are looking for a late night go-to, it is open until 11.

Wine Girl

1321 FIRST STREET, STE. A www.winegirl.com

Wine Girl is the girlie daycation experience you have been dreaming of (if Barbie went to Napa this would be her first stop). The indoor-outdoor food-and-wine experience adds an air of whimsy and downright fun in Wine Country. While the food menu isn’t extensive, there is a small selection of appetizers as well as wood-fired pizzas — and all pair nicely with a “winetail” or a glass of bubbly from the list that has wines from California and beyond. And in light of everything, a Barbie shot offered on the cocktail menu might be a non-negotiable.
