About Catalano Family Kitchen Highgate

Beaufort Street regulars head to Catalano Family Kitchen for unapologetic *abbondanza*—where restraint stays off the table and nobody leaves hungry. The draw is sheer volume: seafood platters stacked with calamari, garlic prawns, and black pots of chilli mussels that easily feed twice the headcount. Pasta comes built to order, pairing fettuccine or penne with vodka sauce or marinara. Floor staff patrol the buzzing dining room in force, whisking away empty shells on the spot while family tables stretch out dinner at an unhurried pace.

  • Pure Abbondanza: Towering seafood platters and heaping pasta bowls arrive in generous portions designed to share, easily feeding more guests than listed on the menu.
  • High-Touch Floor Service: Attentive floor staff clear empty plates promptly and check in often, keeping group gatherings effortless without rushing anyone out the door.
  • Custom Pasta Pairings: Diners choose their preferred pasta cuts—such as fettuccine or penne—to match with house-made sauces ranging from rich vodka to marinara.
