Gatto Rosso has quickly become one of Galway’s most sought-after Italian spots, thanks to its extensive menu and attention to detail. Since opening in 2021, this restaurant has established a reputation for dishes that strike a balance between comfort and freshness, while remaining true to its Italian roots.
The high standard of food starts with the first dish. The Trio of Bruschetta offered a light, flavourful introduction with its mix of tomato, ricotta and pesto on toasted ciabatta.
The pasta dishes are the heart of the restaurant. From tomato-based Amatriciana with pancetta to a traditional carbonara prepared with egg yolk and parmesan, there is no shortage of great taste on offer.
Seafood plays a notable role on the menu, including a tomato-tinged prawn risotto and a lemon-butter sea bass served with seasonal vegetables. Pizza is another staple, and variations like the Burrata della Casa combine pesto, pistachio and ham with a central burrata for added richness.
The Valpolicella red wine, Giovanotto Grillo white wine, and many more are also available to complement the flavorful meal.
From the moment you arrive, service is attentive without feeling intrusive, with team members offering guidance and recommendations in a relaxed and confident manner. Whether front of house or in the kitchen, there’s a clear sense of pride in ensuring visitors feel well looked after.
While Gatto Rosso remains relaxed, it is the consistent focus on familiar Italian staples, with a southern Italian twist, that has made it a steady part of Galway’s dining landscape.
