Nice, clean environment. Very polite and kind waiters. We took a 5-course starter for 25 euros and the quantity wasn't that much, very little stuff on the plate. The first two are 19 euros each, let's say it fits. Really great Sicilian cannolo tiramisu was too wet with liquor. All in all it went well but I repeat if there was more quantity of food on the plates based on the price I would have given 5 stars

We went to this place for a family dinner.
The history and now consolidated notoriety of the restaurant make it one of the main places of Taranto catering. The restaurant, not very large, is located in the central area of Taranto near the Marta museum and the navigable canal. Once inside we were greeted kindly by the dining room staff who made us sit while waiting for the menus to arrive.
We had the opportunity to taste some appetizers, a first course and two second courses... all managed on time by the dining room staff who were always ready to respond to any of our requests.
The food and wine offer is 5 stars, a perfect combination of Taranto tradition and a clever addition of innovative ingredients. The result is a perfect dinner, excellent quality raw materials and dishes that lead customers to savor "the sea".
Chef Agostino is an established professional who knows how to amaze and pamper his customers from starters to desserts with a (red) thread of undisputed mastery and competence.
Given the location, size and demand, it is highly recommended (if not mandatory) to book.

Absolute excellence.
"Il Gatto Rosso" is a gastronomic experience that deserves every recognition in the Michelin guide. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere welcomes you with elegance and warmth, but it is the cuisine that really wins you over.
The starters are a triumph of flavours, perfectly balanced and prepared with the highest quality raw materials. The first courses are an explosion of taste: creative, refined and with that touch that makes them unforgettable. And the fish… simply perfect. Extremely fresh, expertly cooked and impeccably presented.
A restaurant that elevates the concept of fish cuisine to a true art. Highly recommended for those looking for a top-level culinary experience. I can't wait to go back!

Arrived at 1pm order taken at 2pm served at 2.45pm really long waiting time also considering the fairly high price of the food itself. In the meantime we ate 3 trays of bread and thank goodness they brought water in the meantime. Experience not to be repeated

Decent food, bad service. The waiter seemed to believe my wife should order the same dish as I did, and sort of insisted on it. There were ppl coming and going in the restaurant, who are neither customers nor staff. It seemed strange.

We spent a pleasant gastronomic evening in excellent company at the Gatto Rosso, one of the most highly rated restaurants in Taranto (also reported by the "Michelin Guide"). The dinner exceeded expectations: the numerous appetizers focused on the freshest fish and made delicious thanks to the delicacy of the sauces
and for the originality of the various presentations. Perfect among the first courses are the "paccheri alla ricciola" and the excellent (and abundant) fried calamari and prawns! ......" Il vaut le voyage"....;-)

Good quality restaurant but without peaks. Ultra-slow service. I'd say "red sloth"
