Quattro Gatti was my second lunch spot as an Austin resident. Before my first day of work, I walked past the Capitol with my new co-workers to a quaint Italian restaurant where we would spend the hour eating the most delicious food, talking about my recent Tampa to Austin adventure. Shortly after, I discovered that Quattro Gatti would be my favorite Italian restaurant in this whole darn town.
I convinced old co-workers, friends, and new co-workers to come with me whenever I was having a severe gnocchi craving. And then… I tried the pizza. And aside from wondering why I had never ventured beyond gnocchi, I was completely blown away by pizza perfection. I had to tell everyone. I had to share this hidden gem with my blogging buds.
I cold called the owner of the restaurant, Gianfranco, and asked if he’d be willing to host a few bloggers, sharing his story and a few of his favorite dishes. With the most genuine enthusiasm, he welcomed us into his space.
Gianfranco spoiled our group with pizzas {margherita, affumicata, 4 formaggi}, risotto with saffron and sausage, pappardelle with rabbit, and an endless assortment of sinful desserts. But the best surprise of all? When he led us to the wood fired oven and went through the pizza process, start to finish.
Thank you Gianfranco and Quattro Gatti for hosting such an amazing meal!
Yay, thanks for inviting!
Anytime! So glad you made it!
I’ll go with my family, the pizza look great!
