(CNN)Cat brand Fancy Feast is expanding into cow-inspired human food, with an Italian restaurant in New York City designed to celebrate the company’s new line.
Gatto Bianco, which means “white cat,” is described by Fancy Feast as an “Italian-style trattoria,” and will be open for dinner reservations only on August 11-12, according to a press release from Purina, which produces Fancy Feast. .
The human diet has been inspired by Fancy Feast’s new Medley cat food range, with options such as Beef Ragú Recipe With Tomato & Pasta in Savory Sauce for cats with a taste clear.
Only a lucky few will have the opportunity to try Gatto Bianco’s pop-up, located between Manhattan’s Far West Village and the Meatpacking District. The experience is limited to a total of 16 guests, who will each enjoy a complimentary gourmet meal. The menu was created by Fancy Feast’s in-house chef, Amanda Hassner, and New York restaurateur Cesare Casella, Purina noted.
“Food has the power to connect us with others in meaningful ways and take us to places we’ve never been,” said Hassner in a Purina release. “It’s the same for our cats. Gatto Bianco dishes are prepared in ways that help cat owners understand how their cats find food – from taste, to texture, to structure — so Only a Fancy Party can.”
This is not the first Fancy Festival event for human food. In 2021, the company released a cookbook with recipes that cat lovers can make to pair with their cat’s food.
For those who can’t find their paws in store, the company will post the makeup on its website.
