Catalano Restaurant & Cicchetti Bar

My wife and I usually turn between the q at the imperial, bella at the westin bear mountain or the beach house in cordowa bay weekly. last weekend we booked this facility, as we wanted something special. when we arrived, we were impressed by the romantic atmosphere, the subtle noise level and the very private seating order, the table that was next to a mini terrace area with a view of the parlaments building in the background. the menu offered several qualitatiw high-quality products that we must say were of an extraordinary quality level both in presentation and preparation. actually my wife said that the laugh she had on that night was the best she had ever had in her life, which is a pretty brave statement. our only negative experience was the competence of servier staff, standard activities such as the offer of fresh ground pfeffer or Mediterranean sea salt were not offered and had to be requested, a refreshment of utensilien had to be requested even after starters, we had to explain to her that the mixture of vinegar and olive oil was made incorrect as the brot was softened in olive oil (as it was wet). this little attention to details has been missed and too time I even felt tired to ask for clean utensils how the feeling of 'buttering' the server could be clearly felt. we would definitely come back due to the culinary experience, but the servers need a bit more sophisticated level of customer service mainly working in such a beautiful facility. this is true jewel and I would definitely recommend for a demanding night in the city. ricardo nichols

Catalano was a very nice experience in eating, price/quality, service and ambiente. I save five stars for absolutely amazing perfection. I would recommend catalano friends and family.

Catalano is our favorite restaurant in victoria. we will be there for the new year eve and we are sorry that it will be forced to close that because the hotel refuses to extend the lease contract.

Had a very nice evening, but missed the Polnta-Fries!

We went to the Catalano for my birthday. The restaurant was nice, the location was good, and the the view of the lit up parliament building was charming. I found a wine I really liked on the wine list. However, the service and food were not as good as we had hoped. Everything was very, very salty, to the point that I gave up on my greens (and I really love greens). Our server was somewhat neglectful, which was disappointing, considering we were among the only customers that night (I think there were 2 other tables total). So, I would have a hard time recommending this restaurant to others. Maybe we just had an off night?
