Inspired by an Italy road-trip Chef Ryan and I (Arturo) took back in 2008, we’re pleased to introduce Catania, the newest member of the Whisknladle Hospitality family. Here, we’ll be featuring simple, seasonal and authentic Italian Coastal Cuisine (None of the Italian version of TexMex you see most other places). Our commitment to authenticity will be evident in our use of wood burning ovens and grills, an all Italian wine list as well as an exclusively craft Italian Beer program. (Yes, Italy has an amazing craft beer movement nobody’s heard about.)

They went above and beyond to make it special for us! On top of the great staff and environment, the food and drinks were exceptional! Definitely recommend Catania.

Best Italian restaurant. We travel 2 hours to dine here. It was our 2nd time dining here since we found this place during the pandemic. Impeccable service and authentic pasta. We tried the Diavola pizza which was best I’ve ever had. Not too spicy. The duck sugo pasta and Bucatini pasta. Both had so much flavor and not too much salt. We had the Nutella semifreddo for dessert. Only thing I didn’t like was the drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil on the desert. It did not taste good

The restaurant is well rated. But I cook and like Italian and was very underwhelmed. The clams were literally smaller than a dime. There was nothing special about the food, the flavors, the presentation - just nothing great. Very average. The outside deck looked nice, good for a date and very busy, for sure a busy place, however the food was just marginal to me. Either the chef needs a smack back into action, or the owner is messing up his mojo, since I do see good reviews. But our nice - out entire party was disappointed. Try Marisi next to Puesto La Jolla (very good Americanized Baja Mexico food) if you want better Italian.

It is street parking and parking is hard to find even on a Sunday evening. One friend had the runs when she got home, but the rest of us were ok and mostly ate the same food. We had different drinks though. Maybe that is what caused it. You can substitute the pasta for your entree if you don't like it. And the menu changes. We wanted steak but it was not available that day

Overall, experience was ok. I dined for lunch with a friend. Service staff was friendly but a little delayed in attentiveness due to what seemed to be lack of staff. Wine selection great and our appetizer fantastic. My dish arrived over salted and so I had to send back. My friend finished her meal by the time my corrected one arrived which made for an unpleasant and awkward experience. A party was seated next to us that was so loud they drowned out our conversation so we left. Overall, it fell flat for obvious reasons which was disappointing as they were given Michelin recognition in 2019. I’m from another city and won’t likely go back.

We were a party of 6, celebrating 2 birthdays. Valerie was our server and she was AMAZING! We all agreed that the food was outstanding and the service was the best ever! We loved the branzino, the roasted cauliflower appetizer, the semi Freddo, the drinks, everything was OUTSTANDING! Catania is my very favorite restaurant and I think everyone in our party left, with a feeling of wanting to return soon! Thank you for making our night really special!

Went here for my wife's birthday. We were a group of 3 including our 3 years old son. We really liked the location. The view from the outdoor terrace are great. The service was very quick, friendly and very patient with our little son. Everybody made sure we enjoyed our time and our food. Food was good. Our son enjoyed the pizza and we tried the arancini, the swordfish and the orecchiette with duck sauce. Staff also treated us with a free dessert (Nutella semifreddo with olive oil). The only reason for the 3 star is that we were expecting more authentic Italian food and got a bit disappointed. We enjoyed our meal, service was really great, but we had different expectation. I would recommend it otherwise.
