The 3 levels to get to Catania were decent and it wasn't too confusing. It looked very busy, but we had a reservation. The hostess has made a quick check for our table and we sat within 2 minutes. We wanted to sit near the railing and delivered! The view was amazing, there a little after sunset. It was a jubilee dinner, so the waiter brought us additional glasses on champagne. We started ordering some drinks: a Nora (Bürbon, mirtamaro, spiced blueberry vanilla syrup, Angostura bitters -served on large rocks) and a Classic Negroni. Then we ordered the Smoked Duck Liver Crostini appetizer (Dates, Currants, Almonds, Pickled Shallots Parsley). For the main dish we ordered Wild Mushroom Pizza (Bu...

TREATMENT Rating: Food and service were very good! Our server was Alberto, and it's just the best! He gave great food and wine recommendations, and we enjoyed our meal thanks to him.

I would like to thank the Catania team for donating gift cards for some important employees from a local San Diego Elementar! They were given the superiors for their hard work to start everything ready for the new school year, and they were BEYOND gracious and touched by contemplation and generosity! I also wanted to extend my personal gratitude, Catania and his team support the community so many ways and it shows up through everything they do to support every aspect of the community, far beyond just superior food, drinks and ambience! DANK YOU!!!!????????
