"We gad just touted So Italy (Sicily & Sardinia) so it was with anticipation to dine. The restaurant is elegant but nit over the top. Unlike some other NY restaurants you could have dinner and a conversation without disruptions. Service was excellent, quietly efficient and attentive. Specials were clearly explained. The food wss amazing"

"This place is swanky, chic, elegant and simply delicious. They take good care of their customers! The service is 10/10 where the waiters always keep your glass full, refill baskets and olive oil and always serve large groups with a smile. The prosciutto and burrata was so good. The wine menu is expansive. The salad was fresh and plentiful. The dining room is in a gorgeous townhouse with a gatsby feeling with white linens and beautifully dressed white suited waiters with jazz music in the background. Moreover we loved the fresh grated parm and black pepper for each dish, it was a nice touch to the experience for our company lunch! I especially love that this place specializes in seasonal produce and more specifically: black truffle (November apparently has the best selection and display at the front of the house). I ordered the homemade ricotta gnocchi special with black truffle sauce and it was divine. The menu is south Italian with a good balance of meat seafood and vegetarian dishes whether it be grilled chicken, veal, steak or more exotic items like swordfish. I also was thoroughly impressed with their breaded veal milanese chop and pork pasta. However I felt the truffle gnocchi had way too much salt i felt super thirsty after. Might I add- I love their apple tart(they have a cute little apple design on top) and seasonal gelatto/sorbet for dessert with fresh mint and perfect portions (love the pineapple sorbet it literally tasted like a pina colada. The coffee was so good , the double espresso is strong and the cappuccino is dreamy. I can’t wait to return here for more wine and dining."

"Absolutely outstanding Italian food, really romantic ambiance (inside a historic building), great service but slow when at peak dinner time. What to order: - Any pasta! - Broiled striped bass - If there’s a Risotto special, order it. Perfectly cooked! Must-get Dessert: table side Zabaione Al Ramandolo with mixed berries Great wine selection too."

"Had a lovely dinner at Il Gattopardo tonight. Food was good, but the service was what made the night special. Our server Ignis was attentive and helped us choose a delicious wine and cocktails. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a good Italian restaurant and a wine selection of the highest quality."

"I had a lovely dinner at Il Gattopardo. The service was attentive and professional, and the ambiance was elegant but relaxed perfect for a quiet evening in the city. To start, I had the grilled octopus over endive and celery. It was beautifully cooked tender with just the right amount of char, and the balance of textures and flavors was spot on. Definitely a highlight of the meal. For the main, I ordered the Neapolitan linguine with clams, anchovy, parsley, and garlic pesto. The pasta was nicely done, and the ingredients were fresh, but the dish was a bit too salty for my taste. Still enjoyable, just a small detail worth noting. Overall, it was a great experience and I would return to try other dishes."
