We stumbled upon this place and just had to try it after seeing the menu. We got the fried polenta mushroom bites (superb) and the lasagna (incredible). I love that they have plenty of delicious vegetarian and vegan options! We also got the dessert sampler, which was perfect since it’s just a bite size of all the desserts.

Jen planned everything so well!! Got to be one of the best hosted birthday celebrations someone did for us. A perfect menu (soup shots!!!), cute tiny cakes with candles and other dinning table be so so homey, joining on the birthday song and chit chat about life.
Like we met our neighbors we have not seen in a month and have so much to tell each other. It was so whimsical, wish I could add 10 plus stars here 💖 P.S. thanks for the surprise present 🙏🏻

One of the top dining experiences I've had in the last decade. The heritage bolognese is seriously THAT good - I didn't know it could be so delicious. Also, the short rib and mushroom risotto was delicious.
The setting is beautiful and the music complemented the atmosphere. Lovina is a must visit if you are in the area, and definitely a worthy destination for a special evening from as far away as the Bay Area.

enjoyed our meal at lovina but there are a few areas of improvement. service was extremely slow, taking 30+ minutes to get our food and another for the bill. also should’ve gotten seated in the outside patio for the vibes. indoor seating lacked that charm.
overall, food was good farm to table with some hits and misses.
polenta bites: rich, tasty, crispy. unsure how to feel, it was good i think
aubergine athena: best dish of the night, must try! creamy, roasted and juicy eggplant with some tasty roasted veggies
pork and beef bolognese: enjoyed the dish but not standout. doesn’t need to be.
seared pacific halibut: skippable and disappointing. the gnocchi and sauce were good but fish was overcooked and dry.

We had a nice dinner at Lovina on our second night in Calistoga. The food was good - all dishes were consistently fresh and hearty, with two real standouts being the cream of mushroom (soup du jour) and risotto. Only negative note regarding the outdoor seating were the annoying flies, which bothered our table the entire meal.
