Napa
Azzurro Pizzeria e Enoteca
Since moving to a new location on Main Street in 2008, Azzurro Pizzeria has a more streamlined, slightly industrial setting with blue, black, and white tiles lining the walls. Owned by husband-and-wife team Michael and Christina Gyetvan, who worked together at Napa’s respected Tra Vigne restaurant, Azzurro has a simple, authentic Italian menu featuring Neapolitan-inspired pizzas cooked in a wood-burning oven. Especially popular is the Melanzane, topped with eggplant, roasted peppers, oregano, and parmesan. In addition to the thin-crust pies, the menu also includes homemade pastas and manciatas—fresh salad folded up in just-baked pizza dough.
Insider Tip:
Before dinner at Azzurro, consider a wine tasting at 1313 Maine; located just down the street, the wine bar has a rotating selection of 1,300 labels.
