🇮🇹❤️ A PROUD MOMENT FOR THE CATTAFI FAMILY!

What a wonderful and emotional evening celebrating Tony Cattafi and his son, Frank Cattafi, who were invited to share their family’s story as part of CONGRESS, presented by All The Queens Men for Melbourne Fringe in Carlton.

The speech took us on a beautiful journey, from Tony leaving his hometown of Messina, Sicily, in 1965 with little more than a suitcase and a dream to building a new life in Melbourne with his wife, Giovanna.

Together, they opened La Spaghettata on Lygon Street in 1981, creating not just a restaurant but a place where generations of families and friends have come together to share food, laughter, love and memories.

Tony and Frank Cattafi are going over their speeches for tonight’s event at our Argle Square. We look forward to sharing...

There’s nothing quite like homemade. 🤎🇮🇹

Our chef is busy creating our delicious Tiramisu, made fresh right here at La Spaghettata. Just like all our desserts, it’s lovingly made in-house, fresh and full of flavour.

Save room for dessert! 🍰☕️✨
