    I love Il Gattopardo and have dined there at least 75 times over the past 20 years, sometimes twice in the same week, as I did this week. Chef Vito (who I know) always delivers and yesterday was no exception with a wonderful lasagna special. The service was impeccable as usual. The problem is the reservations system. Last week, after booking on opentable, I went with a guest and beforehand, called to ask if we could reserve a table on the stone steps outside. In the past the restaurant has always accommodated me since I'm a "regular." But this time the hostess said they don't take reservations for those tables because they're so popular and it's "first-come, first serve." So yesterday, after reserving an outdoor table on opentable, I returned solo at 5:30 and, seeing 4 open tables on the steps, asked for one of them. The hostess (I believe the same person I talked to by phone last week) said they were all "reserved." So I was seated at a far less desirable, smaller table near the front door. An hour and fifteen minutes later, when I left, I looked to see and 3 of the outdoor steps tables were still unoccupied. I would love to return to the restaurant some day but am afraid that given this recent treatment, I will look for fine Italian elsewhere. --

Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, with each course thoughtfully paired with excellent wine selections. A perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience—highly recommended for anyone who appreciates outstanding food, wine, and hospitality.
