For most of their 18 years on Burlingame’s Primrose Road, the owners of Stella Alpina Osteria knew they needed a larger space to accommodate private parties and corporate clients.
So more than a year ago, Alisa and Matteo Ferrari embarked on a $3 million construction project that would keep them in this restaurant-rich downtown. They took over the Burlingame Avenue property that was formerly home to Sixtos Cantina and Bit of England and renovated the space, creating 4,500 square feet of indoor space and 1,500 square feet of outdoor with the capacity to hold up to 200 guests in both public and private dining rooms.
The project by Midglen Studios also features a 16-seat horseshoe-shaped bar; “wine bridge” seating for eight that overlooks the restaurant; and alfresco tables.
“A lot of love and thought has gone into this in order to create a larger, beautifully spacious, dazzling new space while maintaining the warm, cozy and rustic feel guests enjoyed in our original location,” Alisa said in announcing the reopening.
Naturally, chef Matteo’s space — the kitchen — was expanded also. He specializes in Northern Italian dishes from the Alps, and the menu has made the move too. Diners can expect to find the Italian fondue appetizer, Fonduta alla Piemontese; veal Osso Buco; Salmone Piccata; the popular Truffle Stuffed Gnocchi; and all their other favorites.
With the enlarged space comes a shorter name: Stella Alpina Osteria is now just Stella.
Details: Open daily from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at 1448 Burlingame Ave., Burlingame; www.stellaburlingame.com
