Catania, Italian restaurant with rooftop terrace in La Jolla, San Diego, United States.

Catania is an Italian restaurant with rooftop dining in La Jolla, San Diego. The kitchen makes fresh pastas and pizzas in a wood-fired oven, alongside seafood dishes served with ocean views from the terrace.

The restaurant opened in 2015 and was quickly noticed by food publications. It became a well-known destination in the La Jolla area.

The restaurant brings Italian coastal cooking traditions to California through wood-fired techniques and carefully chosen wines. Diners experience how Italians approach food and hospitality in a setting designed around these principles.

Booking ahead works well since terrace seating with views fills up quickly. Weekend and evening times tend to be busier than weekday afternoons.

The restaurant adds a small surcharge to each bill to support sustainable practices in its supply chain. This approach allows the kitchen to maintain quality while taking environmental responsibility seriously.
