You walk into Bricco Osteria and you feel transported to Italy. From the outside, you are serenaded with Italian music. As you walk inside, the chefs greet you with enthusiasm and warmth. Ali was a fantastic server. I loved the white linen on the tables with Italian music playing inside. I had a delicious fish pasta dish (mussels, clams, shrimp) in a light tomato sauce. A must go while visiting Calistoga.

We were immediately greeted by the owner when we arrived and he was full of energy! Erick was able to wait on us and he was fun! You can tell he was passionate about the menu and was able to help recommend options for my wife since couldn’t make up her mind. For appetizers we had the eggplant and calamari to start. Calamari was good, the eggplant was amazing! It was light and just the right amount of cheese! Our main course was the mom’s lasagna and the prime rib. The lasagna was so flavorful and the sauce was nice and thick! They cooked our steak fantastically! Steak was so juicy and full of flavor! No complaints at all.

Best Calamari ever!! The Vitello Saltimbocca was delicious with a side of rosemary potatoes and warm spinach. You could taste the rosemary in every bite of the potatoes. Portions were enough to share.

I cannot express how incredible of an experience this was! My husband and I just arrived after a long travel day and wanted to get something to go. The owner was so welcoming and acknowledged that we were exhausted from our flight and brought us a glass of a Champagne to Enjoy while we waited for our food. You can really tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in his restaurant. And of course the food was incredible. I had the chicken parmesan and I can tell I’ll be craving it after we leave! Overall I highly recommend!

My birthday falls on Saint Patrick’s Day, and my boyfriend planned a wonderful Calistoga trip to celebrate. While walking through downtown Calistoga at night, we passed Bricco, which was packed while other restaurants were mostly empty. I told my boyfriend I’d love to try it, but he had already booked two Michelin-starred restaurants. Fortunately, on March 17th, after our late 4pm checkout from the Four Seasons Hotel, we walked in without a reservation and luckily got a table! The food was authentic and delicious, making it the perfect final dinner in Calistoga. Bricco was just as enjoyable as the Michelin-starred spots, and our waiter, Erich, was incredibly warm and friendly. I highly recommend making a reservation, as we were just lucky to get in early. If you’re in Calistoga, Bricco is a must-visit!

A nice gem on the main road of Calistoga. Ali the owner was friendly and enthusiastic from checking in to saying goodbye. Came on a busy Friday evening. A big party at the back was celebrating birthday. So there was a bit of a delay even with reservation. However the food was so good it was worth the unexpected wait. We had time to observe the chefs at open kitchen serving mouth watering dishes. After we are seated dinner was quickly served. Started with a hearty broccolini soup, crispy calamari, eggplants and fresh salads. Seafood Linguine in a tasty tomato based sauce, textured Lasagna and pan-fried medium rare steak were all excellent. We were offered Prosecco while waiting at the bar and we ordered another round to pair with the delicious meal. Our server Jade made great food recommendations. She revealed that most dishes were made from scratch by their experienced chefs. After an hour of gastronomic experience we were full but not stuffed. We must come back and try their risotto and desserts next time. Hopefully sometime soon.

Such a lovely place!!! We were so welcomed by Erich and the rest of the staff from the minute we eagerly peered in the window until we walked out the door. The food was absolutely delicious…the highlight for us was the Saffron Arancini with fresh Tomato Sauce. My husband said it took everything for him NOT to lick the plate. That sauce is SO good! We had Insalata, Orecchiette w Broccoli Rabe and Lasagna Bolognese! Everything was delicious..topped it off with house made Tiramisu to finish the night. The service from Erich was top notch. You can tell he truly cares and was working so hard to make everyone’s dinner a great experience. We will be back and we will recommend to anyone we know heading to Calistoga. A few pics (we forgot and starting eating first, oops!)

The food was magnificent service was immaculate. Definitely we'll be coming back.
