The Story of Trattoria di Cat

For decades, Cathi Maynard held on to a dream: to open a restaurant that felt like an extension of her own home. She didn’t want just any dining space; she envisioned a warm, welcoming place where generations of her family and yours could gather, whether to celebrate a major milestone or simply enjoy each other’s company over an incredible meal.

In 2023, that lifelong dream became a reality with the opening of Shelby’s Trio in downtown Clarksville, a city Cathi loved dearly. Standing at the very heart of this tri-level culinary destination is Trattoria di Cat, the elegant second-floor Italian steakhouse proudly named in her honor.

Trattoria di Cat brings the most personal pieces of Cathi’s vision to life. It combines her love for sophisticated hospitality with a deeply comforting atmosphere and delicious dishes. Here, her legacy is served daily through premium hand-cut steaks, exceptional pasta dishes, and a curated wine list designed for raising a glass to life’s special moments. Built alongside her devoted family and a passionate team, the restaurant stands as a living testament to everything Cathi dreamed of for this space.

Today, Trattoria di Cat is more than just a place to eat; it is a celebration of Cathi’s love, faith, and enduring spirit. We are deeply grateful to the Clarksville community and all who have supported us on this journey to bringing Cathi’s dream to life. Every time you join us on the second floor to share a meal and create a memory, you help us keep Cathi’s beautiful dream alive.

Thank you for being part of the story,

Joe & PJ Maynard
