    It’s a great spot. The service and ambience are as expected: superb. Last night’s Caprese was perfect. At our table we had gnocchi and the ravioli special: perfect. It’s a place you just keep coming back to. I will. If I had one constructive criticism, it would be the wine selection. We took a Gavi di Gavi La Scolca. I am ready to spend what I need to spend for the right bottle. I was looking for something more like a Cervarro. On the red side, I would have liked to have seen a Luce. None of these are “bargains”. My point is, at this level I would like to see a broader selection at that price point of finer Italian wines on offer. This will never stop me from returning. It is just my wish list to achieve perfection.

    We sat outside. The food was delicious and well prepared. They have us a few freebies. The cocktails were refreshimg. The wine was well selected. It was pricey but it's midtown Manhatten across from MOMA so that's to be expected. I took out of town guests here for dinner and I'm adding this restaurant to my rotation for this area.

    Our restaurants ambience and our waiter were nice. Celebrating Father’s Day yesterday, we thought this would be a niche restaurant to try, as we enjoy eating in the city. Unfortunately, for an Italian Resturant, the food was limited, with none of the classics on the menu (which we knew), but had expected the food itself to be spectacular amongst their curated variety. Overall 5/10.

    Il Gattopardo, what can we say? A gem of a restaurant tucked away on 54th Street, not far from all that we love about NYC. First time was terrific, and we plan to go back. Maybe sit cafe-style on the sidewalk.
