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.

The rice alone is a standout, and I felt transported by the flavors. :)) I found the portions to be generous and an excellent value. This place is solid & I'll probably be adding the shawarma plates into my weekly meal rotation. Seriously, so good! Very fast service too!

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.

Cold cuts, potato salad, and small salads and things, lots of chip and beverage selections ( no alcohol, but they got great selection of drinks ). 1/3 deli shop and 2/3rd's sandwiches Cosy and comfortable. Here's what you gotta do: Walk in . Get greeted and get your sandwich order in with the guide of your server. Get a ticket. Browse and pick out what you'd like on the side. Number is called and pay for everything. Then get your sandwich and get whatever you picked out. Straight forward . I was too into their buffalo hot chicken special for the longest time. I recommend it. I have had their Italian too, which is good. I think I'll hold off the horseradish next time when I got it. Im also a Dutch Crunch kind of guy when I buy a sandwich (the bread you love to choose in your sandwich is a sacred thing to share amongst sandwich lovers). You can customize it whichever way you'd like. Do check it out if you haven't already . And if you have, you know it's one of Petalumas tasty sandwich shops.

Took my girlfriends here for some pregame breakfast bites before one of our tournaments and they loved everything they got. So many things to choose from, you'll probably leave with a box.

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.

The staff was also friendly, both the beer stocker and cashiers. I highly recommend shopping here if you're in Petaluma.
