3News’ Isabel Lawrence visited a special Italian restaurant Mama Catena’s in Euclid.
At Mama Catena Vino e’ Cucina, or Mama Catena’s, as it’s affectionately called, diners are not only served with a traditional Sicilian affair, but they’re also treated to heaping portions of warmth, hospitality and family.
The family behind the Italian restaurant in Euclid knows how unassuming their restaurant appears from the outside; tucked away at the end of a small strip mall in Euclid, not much about its façade screams an authentic Italian dining experience. But step through the doors, and it’s a different story.
“Our memories are all really based around a dinner table,” said Fran Lausin, reflecting on her family’s traditions of preparing meals and canning tomatoes, the way they have for generations.
Sisters Fran Lausin and Rina Catena are the self-proclaimed heartbeat, blood, sweat, and tears behind Mama Catena’s. The sisters do everything in the restaurant, from answering phones to preparing meals. —
