Caterina’s Cucina e Bar launched in October 1995 as a lunch only restaurant, specializing in Northern Italian cuisine.

Since then their repertoire and reputation has become a Melbourne fixture.

The room is eclectic, incorporating both marble tops and tablecloths, much loved antiques and pieces with modern nuances.

This basement restaurant, entered from Queen Street, has its diners lost in time. You could be anywhere in the world, from New York to Tuscany.

With a nod to their Venetian heritage, the food is traditional but also in the moment. Ingredients are sourced both locally and from overseas.

The team consider themselves ‘artisans of food’… everything is skilfully made by hand, respecting their recipes and their produce.

And then, of course, the carefully curated wine list is offset by the theatre of their service. The staff are knowledgeable, playful and VERY Italian.
