From the moment we started reading their menu on the window of their space undergoing renovation until the last moment when we left was total perfection.
Thomas Keller's restaurants brought us to the area but Bryan and the staff at Contimo stole our hearts. One of their delightful, caring staff came outside to ask if we had an questions about the menu and made some great suggestions.
I had some concern over the wording that modifications to their menu would be politely refused as there has never been a time when I enjoyed dijonaise on a breakfast (or any other sandwich, for that matter). This gentleman explained I should give their version a try and should it not be to my liking, no worries, they'd make one just the way I want. With confidence like that, it was game on. So, color me convinced. I now need to rethink some of my culinary skips the past few years. So, we roll inside and encounter, Bryan the owner, behind the counter. He is the kind of owner who develops a cult-like devotion. He is funny, affable, charming, endearing and interested and interesting all in one talented bundle. The kind of owner you want to sit and have a beer or two with and hear his story. All this before the food has arrived, which seemed very fast considering it was made fresh when we ordered. I has the hot ham and cheese with the dijonaise and I should have ordered one to go. Hubs had the sausage breakfast biscuit and 100 miles later he is also regretting not having ordered a second. My niece, who had never had pimento cheese prior and normally isn't a huge fan of ham polished off her ham and cheese biscuit without hesitation.
So, run don't walk, to Contimo Provisions. Even though there are a gazillion dining options in the Napa area, this is an easy one for breakfast, lunch or drinks. Their Nola iced coffee was delish, all three of us enjoyed them.
Thanks again for a perfect experience. We will be back every time we come...

Read moreDelicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches. My wife and I went on two different occasions because we enjoyed it so much. While the cost is definitely a bit more on the higher side, the quality of ingredients used certainly makes it a worthwhile treat from time to time.
I personally enjoyed both the Mortadella and the BLT sandwhich, both of which, while simple, were also deliciously well executed in their simplicity. The cuts of meat were generally thick and plentiful. The veggies were fresh and packed into the sandwiches. And the toasted breads were mostly lightly seasoned with butter or the sauces, as opposed to being drenched in them like tou get at most sandwhich stops. It served as the perfect pre-flight meal before heading on the airport. My wife preferred enjoying the molasses egg and bacon biscuit breakfast sandwich, as well as the coffee infused sausage and egg biscuit breakfast sandwich, and had a hard tome deciding which one she liked more (ultimately decided that the sausage was more unique and more savory...
