In a nutshell: Part sandwich shop, part Italian grocer, part deli, part bottle shop — Stellina Alimentari defies easy explanation. Owner Christian Caiazzo aptly describes the narrow, brick-lined, mosaic-tiled eatery as having a New York Attitude with Italian Soul. Don’t miss the Il Michelangelo porchetta sandwich, fried risotto balls, panzarotti potato cakes, and antipasti. 160 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma, stellinaalimentari.com.<\/em><\/p>\n

I knew I had to get to Stellina Alimentari, the new cafe from the owners of Stellina Pronto, when a local chef described their porchetta sandwich with such wistfulness it was almost heartbreaking — the Della Fattoria lemon rosemary bread, the salsa verde, the porchetta juice that runs down your wrists. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Chefs always have a thing about porchetta \u2014 a boneless pork roast wrapped like a jelly roll with crispy skin inside and out.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t disappoint. Called Il Michelangelo ($18)<\/strong> on the sandwich board inside the Italian-style cafe and deli, it\u2019s brought, wrapped in paper, to whichever lucky seat (there are only about four in the whole place) you\u2019ve grabbed. Other sandwiches like the La Bellucci ($16)<\/strong> with grilled artichoke relish, roasted mushrooms, truffle pecorino cream and mushroom pate come on the house-baked schiaccita (think focaccia).<\/p>\n

There are tasty Italian-style salads, antipasti and charcuterie boards, along with fried risotto balls with chile aioli and the Panzarotti (little potato cakes with Parmesan, mozzarella and mint) as well.<\/strong> I\u2019m not doing it justice, but until I can get back another three or 10 times, this little taste will have to suffice. 160 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma, stellinaalimentari.com<\/a>.
