STICA has settled into Santa Ynez as the grab-and-go counterpart to sister restaurant S.Y. Kitchen. Both concepts by chef Luca Crestanelli focus on Italian-leaning cuisine with local ingredients, supremely fresh produce, and careful sourcing, and Stica is the place to stock up on takeout snacks and curated kitchen essentials. Wine-country visitors looking for a casual snack or a savory nibble between tasting-room visits can rely on the prepared-food menu, which includes perfectly gooey paninis and hearty salads. Also in stock: dry goods and pantry staples like pastas, olive oil, peppers, sauces, and soups for preparing a feast of your own at home. 3563 Numancia St., Ste. 104, Santa Ynez, @stica_sy
