About Gatto
How Gatto picks where you should eat.
Trip-planning shouldn't be 40 open tabs and 1,000 conflicting voices. Gatto reads the guides for you, weighs the signal, and surfaces what actually deserves your time.
The problem
Too many lists, not enough trust.
Every city has its lists. Michelin says one thing, Time Out another, your cousin's blog a third. Half are out of date. A third are paid placements. You end up at the tourist trap with great Instagram and a 1h wait.
Our approach
Three rules, every place we cover.
- N°1
Read first.
We pull mentions from 1,200+ trusted publications: Michelin, Le Fooding, Time Out, NYT, plus niche guides. Every place is read before it ever appears in the app.
- N°2
Weight by signal.
Sources are weighted by editorial track record, recency, and contextual fit. A 2024 Michelin star outweighs a 2017 listicle. A local critic outweighs a viral TikTok with no follow-through.
- N°3
Cross-reference, every time.
Consensus across multiple trusted sources is what earns the top tiers of Signal Index. Single mentions are noted, never headlined.

Trust
What we won't do.
No paid placements. No place pays to be listed, surfaced, or ranked higher. Ever.
No scoring theater. Numbers like 87/100 are designed to feel precise. We show consensus, not decimals.
No data selling. We don't sell user data, ever. Our business is the app, not the audience.
