Strictly speaking "al Gatto Nero" is "at the Black Cat". Why the "at" I don't know and I have not searched deeply enough to see what is the historical reason. There is a restaurant with the same name at Torino.
Apparently George Clooney likes Il Gato Nero, “The Black Cat”, at Cernobbio, on Lake Como, and there are several other restaurants with similar names around Italy.
