Update on Sorella della Taverna

October 13, 2009 | By Elizabeth Hansen | Reply More

I wrote about La Taverna and its sister property Sorella della Taverna in August 2008. The former is a cute little Italian bistro on a side street in the village. Sorella is a gourmet deli that provides take-away meals and delicious picnic fare.

I’m happy to report that both businesses are still going strong, and Mary Anne Vitale has just set her winter hours for Sorella. They are: Monday- Friday 8:30am – 6pm and Sunday 9am- 2pm.

Sorella della Taverna (7420 Girard) is within a block of the Sunday Farmers Market (one of San Diego’s best), which makes it a handy place to pick up whatever you couldn’t find at one of their many food booths – and head to a park or the beach for a picnic. The most popular items are homemade pastries, fresh-baked bread, pasta salad, mozzarella, and prosciutto.

Call 858-866-6400 if you have questions.

Bon appetito.

About the Author (Author Profile)

I live in La Jolla and I'm a travel writer, so in addition to enjoying my home town's great weather, beautiful surroundings, and range of cultural and recreational options, I also see La Jolla - and the rest of San Diego - as a travel destination. And what I see sometimes drives me batty. People vacation in La Jolla, but don't take advantage of everything our community offers, so I decided to start this blog and provide insider advice for out-of-towners. Hey. I figure if I can write insider tips about exotic destinations on Authentic Luxury Travel, I ought to be able to lead readers off the beaten path that starts just outside my front door. In the process, I'm having fun revisiting my favorite places and discovering some new ones. Travel writers are naturally snoopy, and this blog is my excuse to have a good ol' sticky beak around my home town. I hope you find it helpful. If you are coming to La Jolla or another area of San Diego and would like my help in planning your trip, please read "Need Help Planning Your Trip" and then email me at ehansen298@aol.com.
