    Rigatoni with Oxtail was very good. Other items (zucchini flower with anchovy, ricotta with honey, rigatoni with Gricia) were just okay. Was seated in a corner that had a slight sewer smell.

    A super location with an interesting history. The food is average and priced appropriately. The service is spotty and even stressful. The wine is list is basic and the staff seems to not be well informed about the higher end bottles. In fact, the wine listed was not the wine delivered - even at 170 EUROS! There is a lot of room for improvement at La Gattabuia.

    The food was delicious, the ambiance was lovely, and the service was friendly and efficient; we also really enjoyed the musicians playing Frank Sinatra standards when we arrived.

    We showed up on a night they had a special event. There was a guitar player and someone who seemed to be an owner singing well known Italian songs. It was a vibrant atmosphere, the food was well prepared, and the wine list was extensive. it was a great experience.

    Loved it. We wanted a change from just pasta and pizza in Rome (not that their pasta wasn’t good). The lamb chops and steak were great, our sons loved the Gattaburger, and our daughter gave the Bucatini a thumbs up.. Friendly service, good food and drinks, would go to again.

    I had the best Carbonara in Italy. The Oxtail is also very nice. They recommended the wine - Tenuta, Tre Cancelli Merlot Lituo which paired perfect with the dishes! The restaurant is not along the Main Street to flag a taxi but thankfully I download the Uber apps. High recommended!

    Excellent food, had the amatriciana and meatballs and each was superb. Only thing that could have made it perfect was the waiter getting our orders correct!

    We made our reservation based upon reviews on the Fork. The restaurant was more touristy than we expected and was full. We ordered and the food arrived quickly, a sign that it was probably heated up and served to us. It wasn't tasty at all. We ate and left. The next morning we both had stomach problems. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.
