Della Fattoria

Della Fattoria is the Weber family's bakery and cafe on Petaluma Boulevard North, in a historic building that has housed bakeries for more than 150 years. The story began in a home kitchen: Kathleen Weber started baking Italian-style bread in 1995, and that same year The French Laundry became a client after the Sonoma Mission Inn, where her son Aaron cooked, ordered loaves for an event. The bakery grew with Kathleen, her husband Ed and their children, and the downtown cafe followed in 2004; today her daughter Elisa Weber is a co-owner, and the family has kept the ovens going for three decades. Bon Appétit has named Della Fattoria among the top bread bakeries in the United States, and Kathleen's cookbook was a finalist for a James Beard Foundation Book Award in 2015.
