Owners of Sassella in Santa Fe open Italian deli nearby


Sassella executive chef and co-owner Cristian Pontiggia wants to recreate the sense of a shopping stroll in his native Italian town of Sondrio that’s just south of the Swiss border, not far from Lake Como.
Pontiggia fondly recalls stopping by small shops for cheese, bread, pasta and meat, all locally made in the Valtellina Valley in Lombardy.
“We can do the same thing in Santa Fe,” Pontiggia said.
Pontiggia and Sassella co-owner Lawrence Becerra have created a deli that will be all things Italian, located a stone’s throw from their Italian restaurant Sassella on Johnson Street.
Their Deli at Sassella is one block over at 216 McKenzie St., directly behind Sassella and tucked into a 1920 home they found in September. The deli opened Thursday, and curbside pickup for deli items from Sassella started in late October, with curbside service also available from the Sassella restaurant menu.

Most fine dining in Santa Fe is off the table


This will be a winter of discontent for Santa Fe foodies seeking fine dining.
Many of the city’s higher-end restaurants have shut down indefinitely, electing to eschew outdoor service or takeout, the only options currently allowed by state public health orders.
The Compound, Geronimo, Santacafé, Coyote Cafe, Sazón, Sassella, Restaurant Martín and Market Steer all closed during the November lockdown and none have reopened. Bouche Bistro, Trattoria A Mano and Lucky Goat — all owned by NM Fine Dining, a string of popular, mostly fine dining establishments — closed in March and will not reopen until the pandemic subsides.
