OUR STORY

Passion, love, family and food could simply describe The Etna. Orazio and Lauretta have poured their lives into creating food and an experience for their loyal following and new customers alike.

It all started with two brothers from Sicily who don’t just cook food but live it. They started a small humble restaurant with no idea how much people would love their food and restaurant atmosphere… so The Etna was born.

The Etna name and fine Italian food goes back to 1973, when Orazio Marchese and brother Mario Marchese opened the Etna Restaurant, which moved to King Street, Newcastle, in 1978. It remained there for 20 years and now has a new location to cater for the restaurants popularity in Kahibah.

The Etna is known for the generosity of portions, incredible flavour and friendly atmosphere.

While the restaurant is mainly a la carte, a takeaway service and bistro food is also available at both of our locations.

Catering for weddings, parties and other functions is also something The Etna loves to do as at the heart of our food is getting to see people enjoying it.

The Etna offers incredible Italian cuisine, including seafood, pasta and a varied menu to cater for any palette.

For us proof is in the pasta so we look forward to serving you our food and the original Etna experience.
