    We used to LOVE this place. The service was not great and it was so crowded we couldn’t hear each other talk. The lamb chops were good but the lemon dessert had absolutely no flavor. $30 cocktail served in the tiniest glass. Disappointing

    Excellent food and superlative service. It is located on an unusually quiet, small street in the city, surrounded by “Gilded Age” buildings and mansions.

    First time. Above my expectations! Great pasta options. We had Neapolitan linguine alle vongole with a touch of anchovy pesto and Paccheri pasta with "Genovese" sauce of slow-cooked pork and onions. Home made pasta and bread were great. I will return to try other options.

    It seems that like many other locations this place is resting on its old laurels. For the reputation and what they charge my expectations were very high. We were a party of 2 having an anniversary dinner and we ordered one antipasto, and one primo, both to be shared , followed by one secondo each. The antipasto and primo were really not good so we actually canceled our orders for the secondi. In all fairness the management was very nice and comp’d us the items above. We only paid for the wine. Maybe I’d give it a second chance if they were to improve the cuisine and update the menu. Otherwise I think I will go elsewhere

    The outside area is just not great. I understand the need, but it's pretty rugged. I was a little disappointed in the presentation - the risotto was just slapped on to the plate, no frills whatsoever. Good flavor, but the texture was off. I've had much better meals at Il Gatto and will chalk it up to a very busy night at the restaurant.

    Main server was a little rude. Appeared to be in a hurry and tried to push us to order and suggest wine that was more than double the price of the one we had ordered and wasn't available. Wine list is broad, but the first 4 wines we ordered were not in stock.

    A wonderful and truly professional service all throughout the night. We stayed until close and no one kicked us out, the service was terrific all throughout. Santiago took fantastic care of us and was extremely knowledgeable of the plates and gave great suggestions. As a true Italian trying Gattopardo for the first time, you wouldn’t want your Server to be anything less than Santiago. This place just jumped a lot of Italian restaurants here in the city for me - the perfect setting for a romantic Italian dinner.

    The appetizers were excellent. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the lentil soup and my salad special was excellent. The main course was Jekyll and Hyde. My husband did the special which was spaghetti and meatballs. Excellent. I did the veal Milanese and I will assume the kitchen was busy as the veal was not pounded properly and very uneven in its preparation. Huge disappointment! The broccoli rabe was suppose to have some quick to it according to the menu. Bland and cold. The wines by the glass and bottle were very good. Service was uneven and I will attribute it to the fact that the restaurants in the city are still struggling.

    I had dinner at Il Gattopardo with my parents. We were seated in the outdoor section, which was very nice and MUCH quieter than the restaurant itself, which was packed at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday. The service was very good, although there was a very long wait between our appetizers and our main courses. It was pretty clear that the kitchen was backed up. The wines by the glass were Italian wines that even our oenophile family was not familiar with. We told the waiter what kind of wines we usually like, and he made spot-on recommendations. The food was very good. I started with the fluke carpaccio, which was dressed with a nice acidic vinaigrette and a fennel salad. It came with what looked like tangerine segments, which was not mentioned on the menu (I didn't want them, but I still would have gotten the dish even if I knew about them). My dad had the pistachio pesto pasta, which came out piping hot and was a delicious and interesting take on pesto. (Odd moment: my mom asked if she could have a half order of pasta for an appetizer, which many Italian restaurants will do, and the waiter said no because it would take the kitchen too much extra time to prepare, and they were very busy. We couldn't really understand how making less would take more time, unless maybe it had to do with it being a special order.) For the main course, I had the veal loin and it was very good. The fava bean and asparagus mix that came with it was excellent. My mom had the halibut with artichokes and she liked it, especially as it was a very light dish. My dad had the special of the day, which was a whole branzino that they expertly deboned tableside, which was fun. The only slight ding was that the fish itself was underseasoned, and my dad had to add salt and lemon to brighten it up. All in all, it was a lovely dining experience.

    Booked a pre-theater dinner based on reviews. Surprised by the very loud and “hotel conference room” Decor style Our wait staff were very attentive and efficient. But I did not appreciate the up-sell when I wanted one glass of red wine— $36!! There were less expensive options that were not offered- my bad for not reading menu first. The first course pasta dishes were very large portions— we should have shared one for two or even three people. Risotto and a pork meat sauce were very good. Second course dishes also shareable sizes. Our veal was tender but very very bland. The bronzino special was fresh and excellent , deboned table side and quite large portion also. Prices are NYC-high for cocktails , and entrees mostly $60 and up. Quite a splurge but consistent with this part of town. Overall we did not enjoy the loud business groups all around us— the food was not worth the price given the ambience , as we were visiting a friend and trying to enjoy company as well as food.
