Gatto Rosso

Seafood, Mediterranean Cuisine

€€

A small and dependable institution of the city, consolidated over decades of family management that have brought the establishment to its third generation. Fish has always been the speciality, prepared along classical lines and served in comforting recipes such as the seafood salad, various raw preparations, and dishes cooked in the pan or over the grill. Dishes that are only apparently simple, drawing out to the full the freshness and quality of the catch from the Ionian Sea.
