Fatted Calf - Napa, California

Maria Stoimenova

One of the best meat shops around. They make all of their salami and cured meat, and it is very good: tasty, and flavorful. Many classic Italian recipes. Service is top notch: personable, fast and professional. They gladly will cut and let you taste their fare. Fresh local meat, amazing charcuterie and plenty of other high quality ingredients ( local and imported).

This is an insanely good store where you can buy different kinds of meat cuts. We savored their charcuterie board with its pickled veggies and aged cheese. The ham went perfectly well with the cheese. The staff are passionate and they also sell fun merchandise and quirky things like twines. There were quite a few customers when we were there and I can understand why!

Fantastic place to get a variety of cured meats for a charcuterie board with cheese, or for making sandwiches for a picnic in the park next to this cute storefront in downtown Napa. Fast and efficient service.

We had this on our radar during our recent vacation. At our Lasseter wine tasting a cured meat from here was paired and cemented Fatted Calf as a must do. It did not disappoint. I could go on and on about the flavorful steaks, tasty cured meats, perfectly spiced chorizo and other items we purchased on our way out to Yosemite, but I would be truly remiss if I didn't rave about the phenomenal front counter servers. The server that helped us was so passionate about the butcher selections and his recommendations were spot on and so satisfying. Thanks for such a great experience. It was worth packing our insulated bags to take our goods to part II of our vacation. They even kept our items in the fridge until we were ready to leave and recognized us as soon as we walked back in.

I placed a last-minute order after hours the night before a 9:15am pick-up. I called and emailed. I was very worried that they would not get back to me in time for my group lunch, but they called first thing to confirm every detail and had the order ready for me when I needed it. Customer service to the 10th degree! Kudos to a well-oiled machine producing an excellent product. THANK YOU! Our picnic was delicious!

Our favorite is the Al Diavola pork chop..so many good options though. Sandwiches & prepared foods are also delicious. High quality meats & packaged food (pasta, dried beans, crackers, etc).

Heck of a Porchetta Sandwich!

Let me give you the scoop on the Fatted Calf Charcuterie in Napa, California - it's a taste bud adventure! First off, the customer service is great. The staff is friendly and eager to help you discover your next favorite sandwich.

Now, onto the main event: their Porchetta sandwich. I write from San Francisco, and about two decades ago, I had my first Porchetta Sandwich. It was love at first bite! I've had my fair share of Porchetta sandwiches in San Francisco since then, thinking they were the pinnacle of Porchetta perfection. That was until last week when we stumbled into the Fatted Calf in Napa. Just wandering around the Oxbow, we popped into their store out of curiosity. The Porchetta immediately grabbed our attention, and we decided to share one.

What a Heck of a Porchetta Sandwich! It's nothing short of a masterpiece! Picture this: radish, carrot, and herb salad with a tangy lemon chili vinaigrette, all held together by what I believe was a baguette. The meat? Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Each bite was a revelation.

As if the drool-worthy sandwiches weren't enough, they've got outdoor seating for those who prefer to enjoy their culinary delights right there under the sun (Psst! Don't worry! Benches have umbrellas next to them!). And let me tell you, on a beautiful Napa day, there's nothing better.

Here's the kicker -- I had no idea until after savoring my first sandwich at their Napa location that Fatted Calf also has a spot a mere five minutes from my workplace in the Ferry Building in San Francisco! How had I been so oblivious? Well, my lunch breaks just got a major upgrade.

So, if you're ever in Napa or San Francisco, do yourself a favor and swing by the Fatted Calf Charcuterie. Trust me, your taste buds will be eternally grateful!

Like, come on! You cannot get more authentic, fresh and delicious! This is a small shop behind the market in downtown Napa, filled with friendly service, quality ingredients and vibes from Italy. The huge meat case is eye catching and the fresh lunch was amazing. I had the Ribeye sandwich. A hidden gem and a must try!
