First you Chop the Wood was the original name of what is now known as Della Fattoria. The owners wanted patrons to gather the sense that they were stepping back into time, tasting what ancestral breads might have tasted like in history's past. However, a more fitting name to describe 'good food, slow food, food that honors place and culture and culinary bounty' became Della Fattoria (of the farm). Della Fattoria has been a gem in Petaluma and serves a bevy of fine pastries. At Della, meals are simple and decadent. Wholesome food is the Della commitment and every dish is always beautifully prepared and presented. Jumpstart your day with delicious poached ranch eggs on Della toast. Breakfast is served!
