Quattro Gatti Ristorante e Pizzeria

Quattro Gatti is a family-run Italian restaurant and pizzeria in a historic 1876 landmark building. The menu centers on house-made pastas, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas baked at 1000 degrees, and fresh seafood and meats, with naturally leavened bread and pizza dough made in-house. Many dishes are gluten-free or vegetarian or vegan, and the restaurant makes its own gelato and desserts.

The quiet sidewalk patio and the indoor dining room, which has a rustic feel, sit just steps from the Texas Capital on Congress Avenue. The old world bar serves classic and seasonal cocktails along with a wine list covering Italy's regions. Orders can be placed online, gift cards are available, and the restaurant is open every day with service starting in the late afternoon.
