A food truck for a romantic meal? I know what you're thinking but bear with me while I explain. The Bruschetteria Food Truck is part of the Clif Family, the folks responsible for those famous energy bars. The kitchen on wheels is usually parked outside the Clif Family tasting room in St. Helena. The patio is a lovely spot to enjoy lunch and wine in the sun. You can also grab a bottle of wine, order of bruschetta, salad, and a warm chocolate chip cookie, (maybe two) and take your order on the road for a picnic. There's plenty of nearby options like Bothe-Napa Valley State Park or the Bale Grist Mill. Throw-down a blanket and dig in.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

- Romantic Dining: "A salad and a bruschette selection is a nice combination for a couple to share, but I'd recommend getting two warm chocolate chip cookies."
- Best Value: "Order a few things - the Porchetta Bruschette with pig, garden herbs, red onion, aioli, pecorino is nice with a the Chicory Caesar salad and arancini- eat family style so you can taste a little bit of everything."
- Lunch: "It's hard to single out one item, but the Porchetta Bruschetta with pig, garden herbs, red onion, aioli and parmesan is the truck's signature dish."
- Best for Romantic Dining Because: The Bruschetteria Food Truck serves a seasonal menu based on what's growing at the certified organic Clif Family Farm and other local purveyors.
- Recommended as Best Value Because: It might not be a traditional Napa Valley restaurant, but it won't break the budget and it's fun.
- Best for Lunch Because: The Bruschetteria Food Truck is all about freshness and though it's not a brick and mortar restaurant, it has become a fixture in downtown St. Helena.

- Cafés: "This may not be a traditional cafe, but it's a fun place to grab a cappucino or latte before your ride."
