It’s fitting that Osteria Stellina, located in Point Reyes, California, is named, in part, for the Italian word meaning “tiny star,” as local ingredients truly shine in chef Christian Caiazzo’s cuisine. Thanks to the chef's talents, the venue has become a popular Marin County destination, as well as a favorite of food critic Michael Bauer.
Luckily for us, Caiazzo is bringing a taste of NoCal to the Beard House on September 29. Seats are still available, so book yours here. In the meantime, have a drool over the menu below (we can't wait for those grilled cheese and goat sandwiches!):
