Part 3/7:
The À La Carte Experience
For passengers seeking an even more exclusive dining experience, the Titanic offered an à la carte restaurant managed by the renowned restaurateur Luigi Gatti. Serving a limited number of guests (137), the restaurant provided an upscale alternative to the more common first-class dining saloon. The clientele included some of the wealthiest individuals, such as George Widener, who could easily afford the additional costs incurred at Gatti's establishment.
For Widener and his dinner guests, the final night aboard the Titanic was filled with indulgence, luxury, and, unbeknownst to them, impending disaster.
