Catherine & Mary's

Catherine & Mary's builds its menu around house-made pasta, with Southern produce and proteins folded into Italian forms. In the former Chisca Hotel, the kitchen moves from delicate stuffed shapes to fuller ragus and seasonal preparations without losing a clear point of view. Order contrasting pastas for the table, pay attention to texture as much as sauce, and close with an amaro or something sweet.

Catherine & Mary's translates Italian cooking through Southern ingredients in the restored Chisca building. Handmade pasta is the center of gravity, supported by seasonal vegetables, carefully handled meat, and a dining room suited to a long evening. Share several pasta shapes rather than committing to only one, and leave room for a dessert or amaro that extends the meal's Italian rhythm.
