A small, homey trattoria, informal but with truly delicious dishes. Despite the "homemade" menu, I was pleased to note that it's also popular with young people, often at large tables. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience, quality dishes, plentiful, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Our family of four arrived late into Viggiu close to 10pm, and the restaurants had closed their kitchens, with the exception of the Gatto Nero. We weren’t hopeful of much more than some cold meats and cheese but chef was more than happy to cook for us and we had the most wonderful Italian meal with four portions of three different pastas, the beef steak covered green peppercorn sauce and some melt in the mouth profiteroles. Everything was excellent and we shared all the dishes around - not a weak link among them, although the beef was particularly sensational. The restaurant doesn’t offer amazing decor or seem much from outside in the street; indeed we ate at a fairly rickety table in a courtyard/car park, but do not let that put you off if you’re all about the food quality (which we are). Some aperols and a bit of wine and we paid around E90 all up which we thought great value. Grazie!

It is a topical Italian homemade food. Really good and kind with their clients.

A casual spot in charming Viggiù. The food is medium-high quality: traditional Lombard dishes and more. Both the first and second courses are worth it, especially the tagliatelle with white ragù and the buttery tagliata alla gatto nero. Generous portions and helpful staff. Unpretentious yet dignified. There's also an outdoor area for a summer dinner. Fair prices. In any case, they don't give you a free pass.

Let me start by saying that I've always eaten off the work menu at lunchtime and I've always eaten well, and I still eat well. €13-15 is fine. I ate a few days ago and spent €24! Because I had 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of red wine, and a coffee! I won't go back to a work menu.

Maybe we got the day wrong.... I called the day before to find out what the menu would be. They told me they couldn't know because it's decided that morning. I had a suspicion, but by then I'd decided on the black cat, trusting the reviews. Result... TRAGIC experience. Platter.....banal, with 4 types of cured meats and 2 types of cheese, all very "anonymous".... First courses:.... My choice was tagliatelle with white ragù. A "ragù" of shredded boiled meat with no flavor whatsoever. The second course was duck à l'orange. I was presented with a battered, shattered wing, with a marble-like consistency that not even a knife or fork could "scratch" and which looked for all the world like scraps. The exposed bones and ligaments gave the impression that it had been "torn" from the rest of the body, not severed. When we talk about duck à l'orange, we mean the cut of the breast, portioned, not the scrap, like a wing... with the addition of a remnant of string that probably tied the wing to the rest of the bird's body. The wing returned to the kitchen. A sweet fruit tart the size of a pastry. But it shouldn't be judged as a pastry. Even the coffee was comparable to the food: poor. The space is about 20 square meters, crammed with about 40 people. Tables for four can barely accommodate four plates. The trattoria has a "rustic" style, but perhaps a little too rustic, bordering on dilapidated. The seats of most of the straw chairs are half-sagged. The atmosphere is far from welcoming and depressing. On the plus side, the bathroom is new, spacious, and clean, but outside the restaurant. All of this, translated into numbers, leaving aside the "location," certainly doesn't relate to the food offered. The duck wing rightly didn't go into the bill. Thank you for the discount.

We stopped by this trattoria recommended by a local! I'll start by saying that the people at my table ate well. I didn't eat at all! I asked for a dish without meat (because I don't like it), so I was served a saffron risotto that they said was meatless. I should point out that I asked twice (by different people), and both times I received the same "annoyed" response. I tasted the risotto and discovered it had meat, so I didn't eat. They didn't even apologize! Luckily, I'm not allergic! Dirty glasses and unfriendly staff.
