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 restaurants in Canberra. Santa Lucia quickly became an institution in Canberra, with stories a plenty of the Italian hospitality Francesco and Caterina provided Canberra.
