Fresh pasta shop, Italian market opening in Plaza Midwood
A new pasta shop and Italian market is expected to open this spring inside a refurbished Plaza Midwood craftsman house.
Why it matters: Sorellina Pasta Co. will serve fresh-made pasta, sauces and focaccia, made daily by owner Kristiana Perini.
"The Italian way is to use as many local ingredients as possible," she tells Axios.
What to expect: To start, Sorellina will be retail only. People will be able to grab their fresh extruded and filled pasta to go, along with lasagna and other entrees like meatballs.
It'll also have a wine selection with both natural and conventional Italian wines.
"One thing I think is really important is supporting the local food system and using ingredients that aren't super processed," Perini says.
Zoom in: The home at 2341 The Plaza has sat vacant for at least the last five years, Perini says, and has gone through an extensive remodeling process to become Sorellina.
The space is about 1,300 square feet, which is mostly taken up by the kitchen.
Outside, it has a patio where Perini hopes to eventually serve lunch a few days a week.
What's next: Perini hopes to open Sorellina at the end of March or early April.
