Customer Reviews
From the moment you step inside, the ambiance captivates—soft, elegant lighting, sophisticated decor, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the tone. Every detail is impeccably curated, from the exquisite table settings to the delicate background music that enhances the experience without ever intruding. We enjoyed a single bottle of red wine, beautifully recommended by our waiter and served in a decanter—light, dry, and exactly what we wanted. The pastas were exceptional, perfectly cooked with rich, authentic flavors, and the cheese platter was divine, a perfect balance of textures and tastes. The service was attentive and graceful, with recommendations that truly elevated the evening. Presentation was artful, and the pacing of each course felt effortlessly refined. Every
Great atmosphere, solid live band, and overall good service.One server, though, spoke extremely fast and kept switching into Italian while explaining the dishes, which made it pretty hard to follow. Unfortunately, the food just didn’t deliver. The “light” pasta was extremely oily and had a very strong fishy flavor. Not dirty or spoiled just overpowering and unpleasant. The lamb chops were also intensely gamey to the point of being hard to enjoy. Honestly, the best thing we had all night was the complimentary bread at the beginning,Wouldn’t recommend coming here for the food.
Lovely iTalian place with fairly simple and light flavours. Excellent pastas, fish and meat options. Check for daily specials, as we had an absolutely beautiful burrata off the menu.
Had a memorable dining experience!! Thank you to the chef, our server, Fausta, the entire staff and musicians. ll Gattopardo provided a great combination of ambience, exquisite service and wonderful food. We came for Sunday bunch and enjoyed the risotto of the day, eggs Benedict, and the ricotta pancakes with berries. Two of us wanted, vegetarian dishes, and the chef gladly accommodated modifying a few dishes for us. Sadly we were to stuffed to try the tiramisu for dessert, so we definitely have to return to try it!
Absolutely outstanding Italian food, really romantic ambiance (inside a historic building), great service but slow when at peak dinner time. What to order: - Any pasta! - Broiled striped bass - If there’s a Risotto special, order it. Perfectly cooked! Must-get Dessert: table side Zabaione Al Ramandolo with mixed berries Great wine selection too.
