Why did we dine here? – Osteria Stellina is an Italian restaurant Point Reyes Station, just outside beautiful Point Reyes. This tiny town is lucky to have such a high end restaurant.

Insider Tip – Make reservations during the high season.

Service – Osteria Stellina had decent service from a knowledgable waiter. No worries about refills, good pacing.

Osteria Stellina Food Picks:

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station oysters

Marin miyagi or Drake’s bay oysters house cocktail sauce & champagne mignonette ($15) were fresh from nearby Hog Island. About as fresh as you can get them unless you drive a couple of miles north!

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station vegetable soup

Zuppa del Giorno ($7) was a vegetable soup with spinach, mushrooms, carrots. Very pristine with the quality of the ingredients clearly visible.

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station beans and greens

“Beans & Greens” -rosemary simmered cannellini beans & braised greens ($9) was another dish recommended by the server. Again, very fresh and pure. A must for vegetarians.

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station blood orange salad

Blood orange and fennel salad, arugola, red onions, red wine vinaigrette ($9) was very good with lots of fennel and a light dressing that didn’t overwhelm the salad.

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station wild mushroom pizza

Wild mushrooms, green onions, fontina, bell pepper, mozzarella & white truffle oil ($18), Pepperoni addon ($3) was a very nice pizza with great flavors but a slightly soggy middle. Earlier in the day we had Pizzetta 211 pizza in San Francisco, which was stellar. This pizza, while solid, was a step below that.

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station Pappardelle bolognese

Pappardelle bolognese & Parmigiano Reggiano ($18) was recommended by the server. These homemade egg nooodles were excellent, with a top-notch long boiled meat sauce.

Osteria Stellina Point Reyes Station brussel sprouts

Sautéed brussel sprouts, garlic, chilies & walnuts ($7) were slighly burnt, but still very fresh and cooked just right.
