As a lover of local food truck fare, I’d seen “Bella Frutta” listed on Dusty Buns and Casa de Tamales Facebook pages as a destination for their mobile eats, but I wasn’t exactly sure where or what Bella Frutta was. I kept meaning to find out, but it was just one of those things that kept slipping my mind.
Last weekend, my family, a couple friends and I went to an open house at an amazing house located off of the far North end of Willow Ave. in Clovis. (We’re not looking to move, nor was the house in our budget, but who wouldn’t want to take a peek at a 2 million dollar home with a beautiful view, right?!) On the way to the house, I spotted a gathering of food trucks and thought, “oh, maybe that’s Bella Frutta!” and made a mental note that we could stop for lunch on the way back.
After the tour, we were heading South on Willow and sure enough, the food trucks were still there and ready to make our stomachs very happy. We pulled over and immediately noticed that the name of the building was actually Enzo’s Table.
I’ve since learned that Enzo’s Table is the new name of Bella Frutta, but the location is the same. Enzo’s Table is owned by the Ricchuiti family, a family that’s been farming the Central Valley soil for over 100 years. The store offers locally grown and produced, premium products such as olive oil, nuts, wine and even Fresno State ice cream. (If you have out-of-town friends and family you’d like to send a Central Valley gift to, you can shop and ship Enzo’s products online, too!)
On the weekends, Enzo’s Table gives you even more opportunities to enjoy local fare by inviting food trucks to serve delicious meals made with Valley-grown ingredients (including Enzo’s olive oil). Craft and local business vendors are also present, and on the day we went, the Girl Scouts were there, drawing us in with their cookies.
The food trucks (including Dusty Buns, Tako BBQ, Casa de Tamales, Raw Fresno, and many more) and vendors can be found at Enzo’s on weekends between 10:30am and 2pm (though each truck’s hours may vary, as Enzo’s notes on their website).
If you’re looking for a wonderful place to shop for local, farm grown goodies and staples or eat a fantastic lunch on a weekend, I highly recommend taking the whole family to Enzo’s Table.
