Gatto Matto Panská — Restaurant in Bratislava

Me and my friends visited this place today. While they all ordered pizzas (which they thought were absolutely amazing), I had a risotto with shrimp. To be fair, the risotto itself was good, however the shrimp was undercooked. I chose not to make a fuss about it and just ordered an additional pizza for myself. However when the waiter asked me whether I didn’t like the risotto, I answered politely but honestly that it was good but I found the shrimp to be undercooked. I ordered an additional pizza and thought that would be the end of it. In a few minutes, the waiter came back and rudely told me that the chef said the shrimp wasn't undercooked. I didn’t know how to reply to that, as I wasn’t trying to argue my way to a free meal or anything, so I just replied alright thank you and left it at that. He later came back again (maybe realizing how he behaved) and offered a coffee on the house. However at that point, I already felt very uncomfortable. It ruined the whole experience for me. The pizza ended up being okay, and my friends might have given a better review since they loved their food, but for me, it was overall an unpleasant experience and I certainly won’t be returning. (To be fair, I understand different places might have different methods and standards for shrimp, which is why I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. The waiter’s behavior was however a bit rude, definitely not polite and...

Super popular on Friday evening. Almost all tables were occupied when we arrived around 8pm. The restaurant has aromas of grilled food. It's so noisy that it is hard to hear each other but the restaurant has a bustling ambiance.

🔸️ STARTER ARANCINI ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite small portion but brusting with rich flavours of basil, gruyére cheese, roasted tomatoes and cheese cream.

🔸️ PIZZAS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The pizzas here have a soft, floury bread like dough and tasted great. They come in small (PIZZA PICCOLO) or large and made pretty good starters.

Recommend the MARGHERITA, CRUDO and the DIAVOLA.

🔸️ SALAD: CAESAR & PRAWNS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A big bowl of romaine lettuce and large croutons tossed in caesar dressing, topped with large grilled tiger prawns. It looked just like the photo on the menu. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy and the tiger prawns delicious. The croutons however were too hard.

🔸️ WHITE WINE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The chilled semi-sweet Palava from Vinarstvi Volarik was the perfect pairing.

🔸️ DESSERTS & COFFEE TIRAMISU ⭐⭐⭐ This looked like the photo as well and many other guests ordered it. The dessert was a sweet, thick soft large square of mascarpone cream and biscuits topped with cocoa powder. The amaretto flavor was light.

BOX OF CHOCOLATES ⭐ Small, very sugary and could not taste very much chocolate.

AMERICANO ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good after-meal coffee. Balanced, smooth flavours of...

Nestled in the heart of the city, Gatto Matto Panská offers an inviting blend of authentic Italian cuisine and warm ambiance. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with an atmosphere that exuded both elegance and comfort, perfect for an intimate dinner or a lively gathering with friends.
Every dish we tried showcased high-quality ingredients and impeccable preparation. The pizza margherita stood out with its perfectly crisp, wood-fired crust, fresh tomato sauce, and creamy mozzarella—simple yet utterly satisfying. The gnocchi and beef was rich and tender, with gnocchi that melted in the mouth. The highlight was the prawns with aglio e olio, a classic dish that burst with garlic-infused flavors and delicate, juicy prawns. The bartender’s recommendation, the arancini, proved to be a hidden gem. These crispy rice balls, filled with a savory, gooey center, were a delightful appetizer that set the tone for the rest of the meal. And once again special mention to the bartender, whose recommendations elevated our dining experience.
Gatto Matto Panská is a must-visit for lovers of Italian cuisine. The combination of flavorful dishes, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it stand out. Whether you’re in the mood for classic pizza or gourmet specialties, this restaurant delivers a memorable...
