    If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Austin, Quattro Gatti is an absolute gem. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner or a relaxed lunch. The owner, who is Italian, adds a genuine touch of hospitality to the experience—he’s incredibly kind and attentive, making you feel more like a guest in his home than a customer in a restaurant. I had the pizza with mushrooms, and it was fantastic. The crust was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of chew, the tomato sauce had a beautiful freshness, and the mushrooms added a rich earthiness that balanced the flavors perfectly. Simple, but executed flawlessly—exactly how great Italian food should be. To complement the meal, I had a cold beer and finished with an amaro. The beer was refreshing and paired well with the pizza, and the amaro was the perfect digestif—smooth, bitter, and aromatic. Highly recommend this place if you’re after true Italian flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

    A great Italian restaurant in downtown. Small and if the weather is nice love the outside seating. Owners are very involved and circulate checking in guests. Servers are great too and they work together well. Very reasonably priced for a downtown restaurant with great Italian cuisine. Great date spot, does have one large table for large parties which is nice.

    Authentic Italian. I’ve been looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Austin for 2 years and finally found one. Pescatore pasta special was excellent as was the salmon my wife ordered. Home made bread is absolutely out of this world- they could sell that as a bakery it’s so good. Wine from Umbria was a perfect match. Thank you owners Gianfranco and Renee and server Sandra.

    Quattro Gatti is our "go to" when in downtown Austin. They are just 2 blocks south of the capitol. The food is always superb and the service is quite good. Dining inside was a bit noisy since they seated us into an area with several large and small tables. The food, as always, was outstanding, but I think the entrees are a bit expensive for Italian food. Example: Gnocci without cheese cost me $27.50 and Fettucini in a cream sauce was $25.50. The gnocci was superb and a reasonable portion size. It is house made. But I know you can make gnocci for less that $5. It's potatoes and flour (and maybe some love). And the sauce can't cost more than a dollar, so they must have marked it up about 4X. The wine we had was $14 or $15 a glass, which is a little pricey, but in line with other restaurants. Some things have diminished in quality over the years. For example, you used to get a small biscotti with coffee. Not any more. You used to get lemon sorbet frozen inside a real lemon. Not any more. Those are small things, but not show-stoppers. Still, this is an excellent place to go before a show downtown.

    Our most recent visit was a party of 10. Shoutout to Theo for taking such great care of us! Every dish we ordered, from appetizers all the way through to desserts, were excellent! Definitely try some of the specials, but you also can never go wrong with pasta and pizza. Pizza crust was thin, chewy style very similar to what we experienced in Italy.

    Good food but extremely rushed service. Picked up the menus before we ordered then came by and asked us for order 3 times before drinks and apps arrived. Finally they cleared the entire table while one guest was still eating. Bill arrived with no option for dinner. Mother’s Day dinner for a large party over in 1 hr and 10 mins. Bizzare
