Il Gatto che Ride

Outstanding Experience for a Large Group!

I recently organized a dinner for 20 people at Il Gatto, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment we made our reservation, the staff was accommodating and ensured everything was set up perfectly for our large group.

The food was exceptional! Every dish we tried, from the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, was delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors were authentic, and everyone in our party raved about their meals.

Service was top-notch as well. Despite the size of our group, the staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. We never felt rushed, and all our requests were met with a smile.

The best part was the value for money. Given the quality of the food and the excellent service, the prices were very reasonable. Overall, Il Gatto exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it for both small and large gatherings. We will definitely be back!

Great place with good vibes.
Food is simple and DELICIOUS! Big portions.
People complain about service but considering number of tables+waiters is good enough.

One of the best places in the town if you are looking for a delicious seafood or a pizza. It's inexpensive place with a nice atmosphere and a great service. It can be quite crowded at times and if you want to avoid waiting, it's better to book your table in advance. Finding a parking spot should not be an issue. They're some up and down the street.
We had dinner for two and Padella del Gatto mixed seafood pan along with white house wine followed by a Quattro Formaggi pizza exceeded any expectations.
We will surely come again. Thanks for the whole restaurant team for such a great experience!

Best place in the city. Seafood is amazing, pricing is also good. We were enjoying every meal during our 4 consecutive visits. Personal is responsive and kind. Highly recommended to everyone visiting Manerba.
Recommend to book a table in advance.

We stayed in a Agriturismo near the restaurant and ate there either lunch or had take away dinner every single day for 3 days. The pizzas especially were incredible, so were the ravioli. The atmosphere is bubbly and the place overall is very nice.

Very nice location. Food is quite delicious and plentiful. Friendly staff and appropriate prices.
Awesome!!

Nice restaurant where you can sit outside. The portions are huge and the price can't be beat. On weekends it is better to reserve as it gets very crowded after 7pm. We always got a table for two people. We were there at 6:30 p.m. Most come later to eat. We would go again and again. The food is a dream. Only to recommend. There is parking nearby. So it is not a problem to go there by car.

First time eating here after working in this area for the last 3 years. Cannot try them all ! We struggle for good pizzas but had Tonno Cippole which was very good. Excellent service even though it is late in the season. Hopefully, we will return next season and will definitely eat here again.

really nice food and waiters. the service was fast even though they were short staffed. location was amazing aswell

Very good food quality. Waiter was nice. Love the place! Pity could not be seated on the lovely terrace as we did not previously reserve a table ... Next time..

Just awesome and fair priced food!

Very nice terrace under the trees, very cool during hot summer days. Friendly personnel and great food. I especially recommend the polpo. Prices are very reasonable for such great service and quality.

Returned here after finding this place 6 years ago when we were last in the Garda area. Didn't disappoint. There was a festival taking place in the town so it was busier than we anticipated, when we arrived at the restaurant it was already mainly full, we didn't have a reservation and there was a small queue. We were seated after about 10 mins. Service was efficient and at comfortable pace which suited us. Food was still as good as we recalled. Seafood pasta with a choice of spaghetti or tagliatelli at €11 was great (were enjoying is so much we forgot to take pics sorry), pizzas come with a tasty base and are not overloaded as they should be.

Very tasty at an affordable price. Very welcoming environment. Friendly service. Rather, you must have reservations.

Came here for lunch, been told pizzas are only at dinner time so went for a Primo Piatto. Ordered spaghetti alla pescatori and wasn't disappointed. Tasty, big portion saucy spaghetti with fresh fish food and parsley. It was quite one of best ever tried. Beer is served very fresh as well, £4 for a pint well worth it. Recommended!

Very nice staff! We had a pizza and cozze and it was delicious! Also there is a very nice vibe around the place at night with the lights and beautiful trees surrounding the restaurant ☺

Very good seafood restaurant, try the antipasto called "la scodella della gatto" with mixed seafood and chickpeas, really yummy. Never tried the pizza but heard is also very good. Very affordable. Reservation necessary on weekends.

Nice people and nice food!

The number of staff is insufficient. The staff is tired. The food is amazing.

Very good restaurant with great People and the best food!!
