    I was disappointed the jazz band wasn’t upbeat. The music can put you to sleep. We went there for the food and the band.

    Il GattopardoResponded on September 13, 2023

    CarleneP - Thank you very much for choosing II Gattopardo for our LIVE Jazz Brunch. Sorry to learn that the music was not to your personal liking. We have many jazz musicians that play at the restaurant (and also at our sister restaurant, The Leopard at des Artistes on the Upper West Side). They vary, as musicians will, in the liveliness of their playing, song selections, and instruments. We try to utilize them as smooth background music to compliment the dining, and not as a show unto themselves. Please come back and dine with us again, or at The Leopard, and see what is playing that weekend date. I am certain you will be pleased.

    Top classical Italian cooking. In this restaurant everything is at the highest level, from the welcome to the espresso. My guest and I had: mussels (very good), prosciutto and smoked buffalo mozzarella, the last one really amazing, ravioli (very savory) and the best spaghetti con la bottarga I ever had.

    Food seemed oversalted in general. Cucumber and tomato salad not very appetizing...contained herbs that did not enhance the flavor. Risotto too salty. Desert was a sponge cake affair with dark chocolate but also missed the mark for me... and no cream for my coffee.

    Il GattopardoResponded on September 5, 2023

    seadoc2023 - our apologies for your finding our dishes not to your liking, nor satisfaction. We will certainly pass along your comments to our kitchen who will be most interested, Please do come back and try us again where I am sure you will find things much more inline with your expectations.

    Absolutely perfect Sunday brunch. I had the Branzino which was one of the specials. Large portion that was beautifully cooked. I liked the fact you could order from their brunch menu, but also a la carte. That way, there was something that appealed to everyone in our party. We sat outside so that we could enjoy the live music. It was the perfect day. My husband and I have eaten at Il Gattopardo for dinner many times throughout the years, and it never disappoints. This was our first time for brunch, and It was a great place to enjoy with our adult children. Consistently wonderful, warm service and delicious food in a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back.

    I always have a great experience in that restaurant but I really want to highlight the outsanding service I received last time. I usually go there with business partners in more formal attire. This time I took my young nieces and nephews along with some family members who were visiting the city. They went out of their way to deliver a true luxury fine dining moment for the kids and we truly were treated like royalty. This is a real luxury establishment I highly recommend

    This was an extraordinary experience overall. The gentlemen in front receiving reservations are kind and courteous. The room is absolutely beautiful. Our waiter, Freddie, was personable, knowledgeable, and completely sincere. The wine is above average and pairs particularly well with the food. Freddie was instrumental in matching the wine to the meal. The staff is completely professional and all the waiters work together for the customer’s enjoyment. I recommend the specials but I suspect that all the food is delicious and prepared with such care and artistry. Dessert tops off this wonderful experience. Mangiare !
