History
For over 7 years, Chef Baldarotta has tirelessly been perfecting the recipes for his porketta and Sicilian sausage. In the fall of 2017, it was finally time to debut his creations and obtain some feedback. Therefore, Baldarotta's held three pop-up events in order to test the Champaign-Urbana market. The first event was held at Sipyard in Downtown Urbana, on a Sunday night in October. Although it down poured during the entire event, the line continued for over an hour and sold over 100 sandwiches! The second pop-up was held at Bunny's Tavern in Downtown Urbana and 120 sandwiches sold out in less than 1.5 hours. That's almost 1.5 sandwiches per minute! Since then, Baldarotta's launched into catering and now is a full time sandwich shop like none other in C-U or surrounding communities!
