About Cattivo Gourmet Pty Ltd

Cattivo Gourmet Pty Ltd is an Australian proprietary company registered in November 2011 and based in New South Wales (most recently in the 2010 postcode, inner Sydney). It has historically operated in the hospitality and gourmet food space, using business names such as Spasso Gourmet, The Crepe Escape, and Orto Trading Co. These brands have been associated with café/restaurant-style venues and prepared gourmet food offerings rather than a large national chain. Public records show that the company’s ABN was cancelled for GST purposes in 2018 and that its various business names have since ceased, so any current charges are likely linked to past or residual trading names, or to historical activity still reflected on card descriptors rather than a major active online subscription service.([abn-lookup.com](https://www.abn-lookup.com/firm/cattivo-gourmet-pty-ltd-154448718/))

A Cattivo Gourmet charge on your bank or card statement most likely relates to a food or beverage purchase at one of its associated venues (for example, a meal, takeaway order, catering, or drinks). Typical amounts would be consistent with small hospitality transactions (for example, roughly AUD $10–$80 for casual dining, or higher for group bills or catering), and may appear under a descriptor such as “CATTIVO GOURMET,” “SPASSO GOURMET,” “THE CREPE ESCAPE,” or “ORTO TRADING CO.” In most cases this would be a one‑time point‑of‑sale transaction, but some catering or event arrangements might have involved deposits, split payments, or manual card charges that post a few days after the event rather than on the day of booking.

To verify or resolve questions about this charge, start by checking the exact transaction date, amount, and location and compare them with any recent or past visits you (or family cardholders) made to cafés or restaurants in inner Sydney or to venues trading under the names above. Look for receipts in your email, text messages, or food‑delivery apps, and review your card’s full merchant descriptor in your online banking (which may list a suburb or phone number). If you still don’t recognise the payment and can’t locate an active website or contact details for Cattivo Gourmet or its former trading names, contact your bank or card issuer: they can provide additional merchant information, help you dispute unrecognised or fraudulent charges, and in some cases block further payments if they see unusual activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a Cattivo Gourmet charge if I only visited a café or restaurant under a different name?

Cattivo Gourmet Pty Ltd has historically traded under several business names, including Spasso Gourmet, The Crepe Escape, and Orto Trading Co. Even if the sign on the door used one of those names, the underlying company name or an older trading name may still appear in your card or bank statement descriptor. Check whether the date and amount line up with a visit to any of these venues or to a similar café/restaurant in inner Sydney.

What are typical amounts for a Cattivo Gourmet or Spasso Gourmet charge?

Because this is (or was) a hospitality/gourmet food business, most legitimate charges will look like standard food‑service transactions—often in the range of a casual meal or café bill (for example, around AUD $10–$80), though group bookings or catering could be higher. If you see multiple small amounts on the same day, they may reflect split bills, tips, or separate items run through the terminal. Unusual, repeated charges that don’t match any visit or booking are a reason to contact your bank for investigation.

Does Cattivo Gourmet offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

There is no public evidence that Cattivo Gourmet Pty Ltd operates ongoing consumer subscription plans, and its ABN has been cancelled for GST since 2018, with former business names like Spasso Gourmet and The Crepe Escape also ceased.([abn-lookup.com](https://www.abn-lookup.com/firm/cattivo-gourmet-pty-ltd-154448718/)) Any recurring monthly charge under this name is unlikely to be a genuine subscription from the original business and should be treated as suspicious—contact your bank or card issuer to review and, if needed, block and dispute those payments.

How can I cancel future payments being taken by Cattivo Gourmet?

If your statement shows repeated Cattivo Gourmet charges and you don’t have an active relationship (such as a standing catering arrangement) that explains them, treat it as you would any unrecognised merchant. First, confirm that a family member or staff member with card access didn’t authorise the transactions. If no one recognises the charges and you can’t find active contact details for the business, ask your bank or card issuer to block the merchant and raise a dispute for unauthorised or incorrect payments.

How do I request a refund for a Cattivo Gourmet or Spasso Gourmet transaction?

If the charge relates to a recent in‑person purchase and you still have a receipt with venue contact details, reach out directly to the venue to request a correction or refund (for example, for an overcharge or duplicate transaction). If the business cannot be contacted or appears no longer to be trading, your main path to a refund is through your bank or card issuer’s dispute process—provide them with the transaction details, any supporting documents, and an explanation of why the charge is incorrect or not authorised.

Why do I see a Cattivo Gourmet or Spasso Gourmet charge from years ago suddenly posting now?

Occasionally, delayed settlement or manual processing can cause a hospitality transaction to post days after the visit, but significant multi‑year delays are unusual. In some cases, older card‑on‑file details at a venue or terminal misconfiguration can lead to a new charge carrying a legacy descriptor such as “Cattivo Gourmet” or “Spasso Gourmet,” even if the venue has since rebranded. If the date, location, or amount don’t clearly match a recent visit, contact your bank to investigate and, if appropriate, raise a dispute.

Is a small or $0 Cattivo Gourmet charge a real payment or just an authorisation?

Some payment terminals briefly place a small authorisation hold (often a very low amount, or even $0) to verify that your card is valid before a final restaurant or café amount is processed. In that case, the initial authorisation will either disappear or be replaced by the final bill total within a few business days. If a very small Cattivo Gourmet charge remains on your statement and you never completed a transaction at a related venue, contact your bank to confirm whether it was a test charge or potential fraud.

What if the Cattivo Gourmet charge is on a card my family or business shares?

Shared cards often lead to confusion when a descriptor doesn’t match the venue name you remember. Ask all authorised users (family members, staff, or anyone with the card details) whether they recently ate at or ordered from a café/restaurant or catering business in Sydney that might trade under Spasso Gourmet, The Crepe Escape, Orto Trading Co, or a similar name. If no one recognises the charge and you can’t match it to any visit, treat it as potentially unauthorised and work with your bank to secure the card and dispute the transaction.
