Il sapore dell'estate.
This is the time of year when you want pasta that actually fills you up. Wide ribbons, bold sauce, something that makes the table go quiet for a minute. That kind of dinner.
Come find your dish. Reserve through the link in bio.

La musica, il vino, la pasta. Tutto insieme.
This is what Thursday nights sound like at Il Gatto. Live jazz, warm candlelight, a glass of something good, and a kitchen that knows how to keep up. Jazz Thursdays are the best night of the week and we will not stop saying it.

Benvenuti da Il Gatto.
There are details in this place that most people walk right past. The lemon tree by the fireplace. The way the light hits the flowers on the shelf. A bottle of wine waiting to be opened. This is what it feels like before dinner even starts.
Come in and slow down for a few hours. Call us: (562) 367-3670
