The PressDem's Jeff Cox files a glowing review on Michael Chiarello's Bottega, declaring the new Yountville destination as pure, vintage Chiarello: "It's good to see [Chiarello] back overseeing a local kitchen so we all have a chance to taste again what made Tra Vigne so special in its early days. His chef de cuisine, Nick Ritchie, stays true to Chiarello's vision of richly flavored southern Italian cooking ... To sum up: The best Italian restaurant in the Wine Country has returned."
