Pasta is outstanding as is Branzino and Dover Sole.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways A TreatThis is one of the first places we plan to have dinner when visiting NYC. The menu choices are interesting and well executed. Not overly fussy, but unique and of the best quality. While usually packed, the ambience has a calm modern elegance and we always feel like it is a special occasion when dining here. We have never been disappointed and trust the staff recommendations.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were recommended this restaurantWe were recommended this restaurant by our hotel when visited New York last year and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to return this time and were not disappointed . The service was excellent even. If the waiters New York Italian left understanding the specials a bit difficult but overall we had a great meal. The wine list was good and the waiter was helpful in choosing an appropriate wine given our liking for very dry whites within our budget.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThe way service should beGattopardo was very impressive. Great food and impeccable service. All courses were served with great attention to detail. Staff were great at serving us well throughout the dinner. A great find!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and service was outstanding.Food and service was outstanding. Table for 2 was very cramped but relatively typical for NYC. Congested space certainly worth bearing for the food and service experience.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst class experience, allFirst class experience, all the way. Impeccable service, terrific food. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat italian good. Good quality.Great italian good. Good quality.

I would definitely return.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful (but pricy) lunch,Wonderful (but pricy) lunch, directly across from MOMA. Really excellent wines by the glass!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMLocation is prime, walkingLocation is prime, walking distance to Rock Center, MOMA, great shopping. Eggplant and ricotta cakes appetizer was delicious. Veal scallopine was very good, but not extraordinary. Red house wine, Sangiovese, was a perfect accompaniment to dinner. Over all, a very nice experience.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGood but undercooked linguineThe vibes were awesome when we arrived at 8.45pm for our reservations. The menu looks excellent with a great wine list! Usually the wine list is good but it's concentrated at the high end with more than $120 bottles, but this place has a good mix and selection. The food and service was great except for one slight problem. We ordered the meat ball starters which was delicious. A definitely must try. They were very gracious and split it up for us include the other starters which was the octopus. Pretty good too! We ordered the pappardelle and linguine which they split for us too. The pappardelle was amazingly good. The linguine was undercooked by about a minute which was surprisingly given the reputation of this restaurant.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was fantastic; selectionThe food was fantastic; selection very extensive. The waiter and managerial staff were great(however, waiter went through the specials very quickly). All dishes for each of us were served at the same time. As we experienced the last time we were there, the tables are a little cramped and there were several times when my chair was hit (even though they apologized, it still happened; I guess a minor inconvenience with a small, narrow brownstone). Even though we were sitting about 6 tables from the door, once the door was opened, we felt it.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMBranzino was excellent, vealBranzino was excellent, veal scaloppine also. Starter of tomatoes, mozzarella, prosciutto and crisp bread was lovely. Recommended wine complimented our meals. Attentive and friendly staff. Very quiet for pre-theater dinner but restaurant was near full when we departed.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMMy bronzino (sp?) was sensational.My bronzino (sp?) was sensational. But the noise was so awful that we could barely hear our interesting guest, who had so much we wanted to hear, but couldn't. How can you baffle? Service was excellent, friendly, and prompt.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe fish of the day is alwaysThe fish of the day is always fresh, the waiters are always helpful.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMAlthough both the food andAlthough both the food and service were excellent, the restaurant was so noisy that I will never return (unless i's warm enough to take an outside table). A real pity!4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant has a niceThe restaurant has a nice atmosphere and excellent food. Not overly expensive by New York standards with appropriate size portions. I have had dinner there three times with family and everyone enjoyed it. The service on each occasion was outstanding. I highly recommend Il Gattopardo.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect Date SpotSo glad we stumbled across this fantastic find! It's far enough off the beaten path to give it a very intimate feel. A nice respite from the craziness of nearby Times Square. We came here after Top of the Rock and it completed our evening. The service was on-point and the food was exactly what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant in New York - delicious! Highly recommend the Parmesan zucchini and the specialty risotto. Thank you for an amazing dinner!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFor the past 5 years I haveFor the past 5 years I have been visiting New York and eating in Gatopardo is a must! Since you arrive you feel like visiting your best friend house. Service starts from taking your coats until leaving. Without being intrusive waiters are always aware of what's happening in your table. Eventhough is not a big restaurant this adds to it , giving a romantic touch. The best of all is the food. Best Branzino in town!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMIl Gatopardo never disappoints.Il Gatopardo never disappoints. Food, service, ambience always perfect.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic service, amazingFantastic service, amazing culinary experience, great wine selection, and truly Italian!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMOur experience !!!!It's a very cozy and comfortable place to dine!!! The Arancini they give out upon arrival were a nice touch as well as tasty. The appetizer part of the menu was awesome and hard to choose from. The risotto was perfectly cooked which is hard to do. My fish of the day was delicate and flavorful. My husband had the veal and was not terribly impressed just average. The wine prices were fare for a midtown restaurant. I had cheese to finish our wine and my husband had some chocolate concoction that looked and tasted awesome. All in all we would go back!!!!!3/10/2013 12:00:00 AM
