Small, authentic log cabin and very good food perfect Italian bread. My only complaint is that they do not serve virgin olive oil at the table. Wonderful service and a great bartender. Highly recommend.

Even though I don’t drink anymore slace served one of my all time favorites. The blood orange Martini with goose was one of the best drinks I ever had served with a side car. Warning: only order one because two will be a total KO. Love the big portions of food. This a go to and I highly recommend it.

We have dined at the family owned Catarinas Italian Village many times since their opening in 2006 and have never been disappointed. Prior to this time we dined at the Italian Village Restaurant in Wakefield which was owned by the same family.The food has always been traditional family Italian recipes well prepared and well presented. The wait staff always provided excellent service. The eggplant dishes are the best we have ever eaten, and we have ordered eggplant entrees in many restaurants that enjoy great reputations. Our friends and family members have raved about other entrees they have ordered. The deserts are also very good and are worth at least sharing if you have room.

We stopped here after the beach to wait out some of the traffic. We are very glad we did! The restaurant has a cute homey feel to it, sort of like a log cabin. Asked if we wanted to be seated inside or out we chose out. It was a nice deck outside that had 4 tables so it was quite cozy. The view was a newly constructed townhouse, lots of trees and a distant view of the Jamestown/Newport bridge. Our server was delightful, as were the others, I noticed, very attentive. You can definitely tell this is not your run of the mill chain restaurant but a nice family owned establishment. I had a Sophia Loren martini which was delicious, and they gave me the remainder of the drink in a tiny carafe with ice around it....that was a nice touch! Eggplant rollups were excellent and the sauce on the ziti was so good. Hubby had linguine with clam sauce which was also very good but they did have crunchy onions and garlic with green onions in the sauce which was different. Used the bread to soak up the sauce, yum! We are very glad we stopped in and will be back after a day at the beach!

We used to frequent Caterina's after the Italian Village closed in Wakefield, because Caterina's menu was very similar, them being sister restaurants. We particularly liked their eggplant dishes. Last night, after a 3-4 year hiatus, we went back, and everything was just as good as ever. We were glad to see moderate size off season crowd there, and the food proved it out. I had veal zingerella and my wife had plain pasta in oil and garlic with black olives. Their red sauces are strong tasting with the use of kalamata olives frequently employed. Not subtle, but absolutely delicious. We started with our go to drinks, Martini for my wife, and Manhattan for me. Just right. Coconut shrimp and bruschetta for appetizers. I can't say enough about how delighted we were to be back there. We will visit again, regularly.

I chose two items from the extensive menu, Catarina's Salad, and Veal Saltimbocca. The salad was delicious, with a very generous portion of fresh, broiled scallops in a very pleasing dressing! The veal was out of this world, and a huge portion. The gravy on the penne side was just right, fresh, not overly spiced, and just the right sweetness, with the penne cooked just al dente. A totally fabulous meal. The atmosphere is quiet, the wait staff very friendly and professional. No reason to travel all the way to Providence for a truly special taste of Italy. I am so pleased to have found this treasure so close to Jamestown!
