Catania - Review - La Jolla - San Diego - The Infatuation

"One of the best outdoor terraces in La Jolla is on the third floor of a shopping center. It's at Cantania, an Italian restaurant with a powerhouse wood-fired oven (named Beatrice) turning out blistered, thin-crust pizzas. Order the Sicilian Pistachio with bubbling burrata, salty mortadella, and dollops of pesto. In terms of starters, they're known for their meatballs, but the crispy octopus charred in that same oven, served with merguez and briny capers, is a better choice. Enjoy the ocean breeze, and count the palm trees on the horizon in between bites of their creamy duck sugo orrechiette." - Sabrina Medora
