Since I was picking it up on Saturday and not serving until Sunday, I called and requested that they put some wax paper between the top and bottom of the bread to separate the contents of the sandwich. I thought the bread would get soggy otherwise. They were happy to do it and wrap the sandwich in plastic wrap to keep in the refrigerator overnight. The sandwich was incredible! Everything an Italian sandwich should be! They gave me containers of seasoned olive oil and giardiniera to spread on the bread before serving. We had eight adults and we had more than enough, with a piece left over for my lunch today! I also ordered the cucumber salad with feta, which was a great side dish. I have been a steady client of both Stellina Pronto and Stellina Alimentary and they have never let me down. The staff are wonderful:) I've ordered countless pastries, sandwiches, Thanksgiving dinner... all delicious! We are so lucky to have them in Petaluma!

Both sandwiches, and almost all of them sounded, decadent. I prefered the chicken parm over the turkey that for me, was too much. The turkey had bacon, sauces, cheese on a potential foccacia style bread.. it was a lot. The chicken parm was plain and simple and tasty. The chicken was medium thickness, breadcrumbed and fried. The roll was great and overall I enjoyed it. About $18 for a sandwich, which seemingly is the going rate these days for a sandwich. Fresh, delicious and a solid option for bougie Italian sandwiches.

It was busy, but not crazy as it was past peak lunch hours. The inside space is nice, clean, a cute gourmet shop with wine, various honey, crackers, salads, and of course the deli. For food, we ordered the pork in sauce BBQ sandwich, hot dog, and a side of baked beans. There are separate areas where you order first, then pay, then wait for your food. Once we paid, we were handed the baked beans, which were piping hot. It was still quite busy at the front and we ended up waiting about 25 min before our sandwiches came out. The wait wasn't the problem, but both items were cold when we got them. The sandwich had actually been ready and sitting there for about 15 min before the hot dog came out. We even had to ask them to swap out the baked beans they gave us earlier because they were room temp by then. Cold food aside, the pork in sauce had a lot of fat and was way too saucy (maybe ask for sauce on the side). The hot dog which was what we waited 25 min for was just...a hot dog with way too much mayo and ketchup. With the long wait, I'm confused why our food wasn't hot when it came out. I may give it another try, but first experience wasn't great.

I've been driving by the deli on way to downtown for years but never had the opportunity to stop in…read moreuntil recently. The experience was a bit strange from the start and the two people working (one at the register and one behind the deli counter) were both pretty aloof. The individual working the register was too busy engaged in what I can only assume was a very engaging conversation with another customer and the one behind the deli was MIA for almost 10 minutes while I waited awkwardly, unsure if the deli was even open. When someone finally came to the deli counter, I decided to order, pay, and get out of there as quickly as possible. I ordered a reuben sandwich, grabbed a beer, and paid. Then I was prompted to leave a tip - I was a bit shocked by this that I didn't even know what to do. I instinctually hit 20% and it wasn't until I was in the car that I realized I just tipped on a can of beer I grabbed out of the fridge and for a sandwich that I waited 10 minutes for, just to place the order.. lol. All other things aside, the sandwich was okay. A pretty good reuben, but far from the best. The bread was super thin and not well toasted so it became really soggy. Soggy reubens are the worst. We've all had one before - the bread just disintegrated and it just started to fall apart. Overall, the sandwich was okay but there are far better places in town to grab a sandwich that will at least pretend they are happy you stopped by, and won't ask you for a tip for the privilege of doing so.

When we stopped in mid afternoon, unfortunately they were out of a number of different dishes to try. Many people would come by and pick up food to go, and there were some 2 person tables inside for seating near the window. Service answered any questions we had. We had ordered a mediterranean sample plate, and a beef kebob plate. The hummus and salads tasted fresh, the beef kebobs had good flavor and bite. I'd say the piece I liked best was the falafel. It wasn't grainy, and had a light and crunchy exterior; almost flaky. I'd go back just for that really. Certainly worth the stop tho, I'll have to check out the lamb, lentil soup, and the moussaka another time hopefully.

They had a lot of ready made food items, plus all the traditional stuff of other grocery stores. Prices were reasonable, especially with how healthy a lot of the selections are. It was a popular spot with many people doing their afternoon shopping. The beer selection was amazing for me, lots of Russian River and other regional staples. The staff was also friendly, both the beer stocker and cashiers. I highly recommend shopping here if you're in Petaluma.
