Luigi Gatti

Gaspare Antonio Pietro "Luigi" Gatti (3 January 1875 – 15 April 1912) was an Italian businessman and restaurateur, best known as the manager of the À la Carte restaurant on the RMS Titanic, catering to passengers for whom first-class service was not exclusive enough. They had a son, Luigi Victor, "Vittorio" born in 1904.

Olympic and Titanic restaurants

Gatti was already running the À la Carte restaurant on the RMS Olympic, and because of its success, Titanics À la Carte was even larger, able to seat over 150, with over 60 staff, mostly Italian and French, all employed directly by Gatti, who ran these restaurants as concessions. For Titanic'''s maiden voyage, both Gatti and his head chef on Olympic'' sailed to ensure the new restaurant's success. His body was recovered by the CS Minia between 26 April and 6 May 1912, and buried in Fairview Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
