Former Oenotri chef Curtis Di Fede‘s new Napa restaurant, Miminashi, which was originally slated to open in February, will finally open its doors this Saturday, May 7. The 85-seat restaurant, located in downtown Napa’s historic Young Building, will feature an izakaya-style menu. The inspiration to shift focus from Di Fede’s rustic Italian roots at Oenotri to Japanese came about after the chef — who felt that the market for izakaya eateries hadn’t really been explored yet in Napa — spent time traveling in Japan.
