Osteria Stellina

About Osteria Stellina

It may be in the 415 area code, but Point Reyes Station seems as remote as the Irish coast. Chef-owner Christian Caiazzo brings an urban sophistication to this storefront on the main street that looks as if it could be a set for a spaghetti Western. He dubs his food "Point Reyes Italian" because everything comes from Marin County. The one-page menu reads homey with such items as "beans and greens," but they're prepared in such a way you'd swear it was the first time you'd tasted those ingredients. Pastry chef Laura Matis works magic with desserts, creating such things as brown sugar clove ice cream with poached pears. While the interior is modest, it has a warm, inviting feel.
