Our HISTORYSalotto by Santa Lucia - Three generations of Italian hospitality.

Francesco and Caterina Catanzariti arrived in Canberra from Calabria in Southern Italy in 1957, where they easily immersed themselves within the Australian and Italian communities. After several years of working within their profession in the tailoring industry, Francesco and Caterina decided it

was time that they shared their passion for authentic Italian cuisine, by bringing a “little bit of Italy” to Canberra.

This resulted in the establishment of Santa Lucia Trattoria opening their Kennedy Street,

Kingston doors in 1975, becoming the first traditional Italian restaurant in Canberra. Santa Lucia quickly became an institution in Canberra, with stories a plenty of the Italian hospitality

Francesco and Caterina provided Canberra.

In the mid 80’s their son Roberto and his wife Francesca took over the restaurant, continuing the family tradition of home style cooking. And after many years their son Pasquale and his wife, Lorraine took over Santa Lucia, committed to retain the original home style authentic cuisine,

with a modern flair.

Together, their vision for Santa Lucia become ‘Salotto’ a place where you can eat, drink and dance, Italian style! To generate an ambient atmosphere reminiscent of the laid-back bars and restaurants

that speckle Rome’s famous piazzas.

It’s a great tribute to Francesco and Caterina that their children and grandchildren have maintained the successful recipe of traditional Italian cooking,

classic red and white chequered table cloths and a warm, fun and friendly atmosphere.
