GROSSLY overrated. VERY overpriced. Incoherent service. Food presented in a cheap way and doesn’t taste particularly good. I didn’t get the wine I ordered. We live 15mn away from the Italian border. We know what good Italian restaurants are. And cheaper ones !

Incredible service and everything is perfectly seasoned. When you order an appetizer for two people they bring two sizeable portions which is a great touch. The roast chicken is the best i’ve ever had.

Very elegant restaurant decent quality of food but one intolerable thing is that we had ordered a wine à la carte with a price of 47 dollars but at the time of the bill the price was more than double 120 euros a dishonest attitude

Wonderful dinner with family. The service is fantastic, from the moment we walked in until we left, from the kind bartender, Giuseppe, to our server, Pasquale, all wonderful. We had the monkfish and a homemade pasta which was very good, the mozzarella salad special plus gelato and and lovely traditional cake. The food was good, the service excellent. I highly recommend.

Dinner at Il Gattopardo exceeded our expectations in every way. Two of my sons, with their wives, joined us for my 64th birthday. (I think they will all still need me!) The townhouse setting sets the scene for a precious and elegant evening. The entire staff graciously attended our every need. I must eat GF and the menu had many appetizers & entrees that I could enjoy and did enjoy. All the dishes were phenomenal, especially the Italian Senatore pasta with seafood ragout, the rabbit with truffles and mushrooms, sniff my cod casserola - bueno! As a surprise, the waiter delighted me with a bowl of chocolate gelato for my birthday - with candle! Thank you for a fabulous sensory delight.

Don't understand how our experience could be SO different from other reviews, but it was. One of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. The service was beyond deplorable. We were there an hour before our appetizer and dinner order was even taken. My husbands second beverage never arrived at all. The balsamic vinegar for his completely undressed caprese salad was never offered. My chicken main course was so salty it was inedible. We had finished our main course and were sitting with a cleared table for more than 15 minutes before our waiter came by apologizing for our main courses not having arrived yet...he didn't even know we'd finished eating, although he'd passed by our table numerous times. We understand many restaurants are having staffing difficulties, but there seemed to be enough staff moving around for the size of the restaurant. We were able to get the attention of support staff on the floor and they provided freshly grated parmesan, but neglected to provide other things like the requested beverage, etc. The restaurant was completely full and the ceilings are low in the dining room so the noise level made dinner conversation almost impossible. Such a horrible disappointment from every aspect.

Service was very good and the ambiance of the restaurant was very good to excellent. The menu options read extremely well. The food was good, however, only of average quality for the price point. I hoped for better. Not sure if I can recommend it to our friends visiting the city, with so many other options.

This is a NYC staple. Excellent service and cuisine. The wine prices are outrageous, not giving diners a moderate selection of wines for under $100 a bottle. Absurd.
