Again, absolutely fabulous the food was sublime and the wait staff superb. We love Catania. Do make reservations!!! See you next summer !

Staff was welcoming and attentive, even with the restaurant full to almost capacity. The food was delicious, and brought to the table nice and hot. the menu choices were well thought out, there was something for every palate and dietary requirement.
Parking can be an issue, but the hunt for a spot is worth it for a meal such as the one that we had.

Catania went above and beyond to make this a special night for my fiancé’s birthday! From customized menus to free limoncello and semifreddo to the best seats in the house, they made it a truly special night for us. We can’t wait to be back!

We eat here quite often and always love the food, cocktails and excellent service. It was the same and we’ll definitely be back.

Catania is my go to in La Jolla. It's central yet elevated, so you get to enjoy the neighborhood while avoiding foot traffic and noise. The food and service are always phenomenal. Thank you for never faltering, Catania!

One of our go to La Jolla restaurants ! Absolutely fantastic in every way. We have NEVER been disappointed in all the years dining here.
The food & wait staff are perfect 🤩
The best octopus 🐙 & chicken ever ! My husband loved the pasta with clams- always terrific!

Fantastic! Food was delicious and highly recommend the duck liver appetizer. Service was terrific. So attentive and our waiter Alberto was just great. Manager and hostess were superb. Highly recommend Catania!
Beautiful view and we had a fabulous time.

Beautiful atmosphere. Delicious example of Italian cuisine. Professional service.

We look forward to coming back again soon.

Waiter could have been more attentive. Had to wait for drinks and he brought salads same time as main course. Still a great night.

Had really good main entrees and the dessert was also amazing!

Food was amazing. Service was ok.

Great food and drinks.

Great views and great service

Great restaurant! Food is fresh with lots of flavor... every dish was excellent! Service is fantastic and attentive. The ambiance is great with indoor/outdoor seating. Great experience!!

Missing Whisknladle but so happy to return in person to Catania. The view from the patio is gorgeous, sublime food and cocktails, and stellar service as ever.

We had some excellent dishes and the service was great. The duck crostini was a great appetizer, the pasta was fresh and the donuts for dessert with the whipped cream and cherry compote topped of the evening. My wife loved her cocktail, the Torino, and my old fashioned was also good. Great discovery for a trip to La Jolla.

Excellent as always!

Wonderful place to enjoy dinner with family and friends. Food was delicious, timing of courses was great and each plate was a beautiful presentation. Very pretty setting. Great wait staff.

Great burst of flavors with ever dish!!

Great pizza- the crust was crisp but chewy and the ingredients fresh and flavorful! The branzino was tender and the sauce was delicious! The bruschetta was excellent. The menu has a good variety- you can find something for almost everyone. They also have a great drink menu. The wine list is limited but we did enjoy the house pick medium body red wine.

Outdoor seating was really nice! Pasta and pizza were good. Great place to celebrate a birthday!

Pizzas were marginal at best.

Amazing service and food always at Catania. It doesn’t get better than this!!

Anniversary

Very attentive wait staff. Great food. The selection of dishes are quite unique and worth exploring. Not your normal, run of the mill Italian fare.

Pizza was a little soggy,
Lamb meatballs are a good appetizer

Loved it. The patio is gorgeous. I loved the grilled octopus and the homemade limoncello. We will definitely be back!

top place to have a Sunday brunch. Great food and service, lovely view from the terrace.

The food is worth the price. Absolutely outstanding.

We had a wonderful dinner for my birthday, they were able to move us to a perfect table with views of the sunset. Pasta and pizza were both amazing and we were gifted limoncello to celebrate after dinner. I would highly recommend for a nice dinner out with great service!

The athmosphere is very relaxing. beautiful sunset views of la Jolla. Food was very good the only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because serving your food and drinks took a very long time.

Both of our entrees were delicious! Very knowledgeable and friendly server. Best restaurant of our stay in La Jolla

To be honest the food was good to bad. Some items very good others not so much. Drinks were very good, service very good. The ambiance depends on where you are seated. The Staff is nice. Perhaps just an off night.

Always a great night out 🥂

Our favorite restaurant for years! Always the best experience and especially great after a year of quarantine!

We had a great dinner at Catania. Food was excellent as was the very attentive service. They have a nice wine menu. Also very nice interior. Pleasant patio upstairs. Music was nicely played -- not too loud. You can have a conversation comfortably. We'll definitely be back.

Very nice ambiance on a Saturday evening, sunset time. They had our table ready on time. The service was excellent and the food different and delicious. Great place to eat in La Jolla

Very good experience . My husband and I shared a chopped salad , dressing was especially light and good . I have the Margarita pizza with added mushrooms , he had spaghetti with clams . We both enjoyed our meals . Service was excellent and staff was very nice and friendly .

LOVE Catania! We went there for brunch and everything was amazing. I recommend the "Hangover Pizza" and the eggs benedict! Everyone at my table was pleased.

AMAZING. It was my birthday and they were so thoughtful and amazing service providers. The view is incredible, best cocktails and the FOOOOD oh my god.
