Gatto's Italian Restaurant & Bar

"I have grown to love Gatto's in New Lenox. My first first meals here several years ago were just OK from what I can remember. However I can now say that I eat at Gatto's more than any other restaurant in the area. Gatto's is truly one of New Lenox's mainstay eateries. The food is consistently good and the service is excellent. They were able to stay open during Covid and kept the majority of staff working which I respect greatly. If I have to have any complaints.... sometimes they are really busy. I guess that is an inevitable side effect of doing everything right. My favorite dishes are the steak with wine sauce (cant remember the actual name....), the bragiole and the balsalmic salmon. The italian wedding soup is excellent too. Keep up the good work Frank and crew!!"

"Ate family style. Chicken good but little wet. Breading was gooey and fell off. Flavors were very good. Sausage and peppers was just right. Server was attentive and helpful."

"Went to get food for my family carryout, it was quick and we were offered drinks while I waited with my two younger kids. They are very kind and the food was top notch! Well done you guys, have a great New Year. We will see you again very soon."

"Meh, at best. The experience began, not by being seated but, by being pointed to a table. Ten minutes later, my wife flagged down a server to get menus. We ordered our meals and I ordered a salad, plus a meal to go to take home for our daughter. Our meals were brought to the table by someone other than the person who waited on us. It was kind of a drive-by encounter, as I didn't have time to ask where my salad was nor order more drinks and bread before the person dropping off our food disappeared. The food was adequate but far from the best Italian meal we've ever had. Upon telling the waitress I never got my salad, her only response was she would take it off the bill. She did me a huge solid on that one! Some time after we finished eating, she returned to hustle us for dessert. I guess she didn't notice our plates were still half full. We asked for containers for our leftovers and I asked if we were going to get our take out meal soon. About fifteen minutes later, our take out meal arrived, indicating that order likely wasn't placed (like my salad.) This was both our first time at this establishment and our last. There are too many good places to eat to ever go back to a place that is barely mediocre."

"Food *** Service ***** Ambiance ***** Price ***** We’re regulars here, food is good. The ambiance feels somewhat like Bucca de Beppo, very cozy, Italian style place, definitely a good vibe. I order the garbage salad regularly and noticed for the first time they reduced the size of it. So I got a smaller version than normal. One of our other spaghetti plates needed to be “enhanced” because it was so bland. It was fixed. I gave 3 stars for the food because it’s inconsistent, sometimes better than other times, seems to be random. Prices are reasonable, get a good quantity of food."
