about us

Caterina and Francesco Catanzariti came to Canberra from Calabria in 1956, bringing their Italian passion for fine food. That passion lead to the establishment of Santa Lucia Trattoria and a tradition of bringing the best of Italian cuisine to Canberra. A tradition that has been passed on through three generations of Catanzaritis.

Classic red-and-white checked table cloths, great food and a warm friendly atmosphere, all make a visit to Santa Lucia an authentic experience, and one you will want to repeat time and time again.

At Santa Lucia we have an extensive menu with traditional home made pasta dishes, and a wide selection of tantalising veal, chicken and seafood dishes. In addition to our Al la carte menu, we have special menus for children, lunch and banquets. Whether for a christening, birthday, engagement, wedding, business function or a romantic dinner for two - you will be sure to enjoy your stay at Santa Lucia Trattoria.

Pasquale, Francesca, Roberto and the team would love to have you join them at Santa Lucia.
