Gattara

Gattara is an Italian-American eatery located inside the Warwick Denver hotel. We dined at Gattara for the first time for a double date over the weekend and had a wonderful time.

We arrived at Gattara and General Manager, Dave showed us to our table. Gattara means cat-lover in Italian and the restaurant had several areas with cat illustrations playfully popping up. Dave ensured we had everything we needed to begin our meal. Our server Chaunty was so sweet and had stellar recommendations.

To start I had the La Crema Chardonnay 2020, Sonoma Coast, CA.

The chardonnay hit my nose with white florals & lemon; it was juicy on the palate with flavor of crisp apple.

Brooke had the Benvolio, Prosecco from Veneto, Italy.

The Prosecco was vibrant and crisp and made for a good pairing with Gattara’s burrata.

For starters we had the Meatballs Bolognaise, Burrata E Prosciutto, and the Crispy Calamari.

The Meatballs Bolognaise were made with tomato conserva, grana padano, and served alongside grilled ciabatta.

The meatballs were nice & meaty in flavor - a very hearty starter.

The Burrata E Prosciutto was made with grilled ciabatta, prosciutto, tomato, tomato jam, and arugula.

The burrata was milky, prosciutto gorgeously salty, & the tomatoes bright.

The Crispy Calamari was made with arugula, tomato jam, and lemon preserve.

The calamari had a nice crisp exterior while it was tender & chewy on the inside.

For Pizza we had the Gattara Originali, New World Pepperoni made with tomato conserva, mozzarella, fresh jalapenos, cream cheese, & Applewood smoked bacon.

The New World Pepperoni pizza blew us away - it was so good and a must order when dining at Gattara. The pizza was baked in a pizza oven which puffed the crust's edges and made it very thin towards the middle. The cream cheese made for creamy bites & the mozzarella for buttery cheese pulls. The jalapeno's added nice green color to the pie while also lending a snap in texture. The applewood smoked bacon enhanced the pizza with a smoky sweetness.

For Entrees we had the Salmone Alla Griglia, Lobster Ravioli, Fettuccini Alfredo with Shrimp, & the Spaghetti Fruti De Mare.

The Salmone Alla Griglia was made with pesto risotto, cherry tomato, zucchini, roasted peppers, grana, & sweet balsamic glaze.

The salmon was mild and delicate in taste while the flavorful mixture of pesto kicked this dish up a notch.

The Lobster Ravioli was made with cream, tomato conserva, arugula, & lemon oil.

Warm, rich & creamy - each large, square ravioli held a smooth filling of lobster & cheese.

The Fettuccini Alfredo with Shrimp was made with white wine cream sauce, roasted heirloom tomatoes, grana Padano, & pecorino.

The sautéed shrimp were mildly sweet and went well with the nuttiness from the parmesan alfredo sauce.

The Spaghetti Fruti De Mare was a Dinner Special and made with white wine tomato sauce, mussels, clams, calamari, & shrimp.

The white wine tomato sauce was mild and showcased the seafood in the pasta. The long tender noodles and meaty seafood made for hearty bites. Red pepper flakes added great spice in this dish.

For Sweets we had the Housemade Ice Cream Sandwich, Bread Pudding, Cheesecake, & Torta.

The Housemade Ice Cream Sandwich was made with fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, vanilla gelato, & caramel rum sauce.

The Ice Cream Sandwich was elite. The fresh baked chocolate chip cookie was huge and hugged the cold vanilla gelato in its center. The cookie had crunch & chew at the same time. The caramel rum sauce was sticky, buttery rich and clung to the ice cream sandwich with each dip. A must order.

The Bread Pudding was made with brioche, vanilla custard, caramel rum sauce, & vanilla gelato.

The bread pudding had our mouths watering. The dessert was baked to perfection and had a wonderful cakey, custardy texture. The brioche was piping hot and the contrast of it against the cold vanilla gelato was delicious.

Huge thanks to Gattara, Dave, and Chauntay for hosting us!
