What an awful experience. Arrived on time and seated outdoors for a 5:30pm reservation. By 5:50pm no one had shown up to even offer us water, so when the maitre d stopped by, I mentioned that we had a show at City Center nearby at 7 and would need to leave by 6:30pm. We were already prepared to order just pasta, without apps or dessert in order to make sure we weren't rushed, but rather than thank me for letting him know, he got annoyed, and rudely told us we could only order spaghetti and was gathering our menus when I stopped him to say we were going to tell him what we wanted and then he could let us know if there was enough time. When I said we had intended to only order pasta, he mumbled something about how there are many dishes ahead of us to prepare. Our agnolotti showed up ten minutes later and we had plenty of time to spare, but what could have been a lovely experience was soured by this guy. And the pasta wasn't even that good to boot. The other servers, however, were delightful.

Food is excellent, as is the service. Staff is professional but friendly. We had lunch in the sidewalk shed, which suffered from some street noise, but W. 54th is relatively quiet compared to other locations. Great place if you have the budget for it: with tax, tip, and a glass of wine, you're looking at $100 for lunch. Protip: try for seats well-distanced from the big table with the loud lunchers.

Nice ambiance, good food, excellent service, no hidden charges for things like bread. Wine list extensive and too expensive for most wines, also, not explanatory enough in regards to separating out light medium and full bodied. Most did not include the grape variety.

This is one of the most delightful restaurant experiences EVER. The service is beyond attentive. No one hovers but it feels as if you've entered into a place where the staff feels like family and the intent is to make your evening utterly delicious and contented; totally convivial and devoted to your pleasure. I asked to speak to the chef as well not only because the food is good, but the staff is superb. The food is so good. The wine list is excellent. Il Gattopardo has been around for years and you can feel the personal investment that everyone has is making your dining experience above and beyond. I cannot wait to return. It has an old world feel without being stodgy; infact when we were there the place was full and filled with conversation and joy. No loud music. You don't need or want it here. its good food, good times, great staff.

This is the best restaurant in NYC for romantic dinners AND business entertainment. Service is impeccable, the hospitality of owners, hosts and waiters makes dining a lovely event and Vito’s food is a revelation. I had a seafood ragu on cavatelli that was the best bowl of pasta I have ever had. After an eggplant timbale that is like nothing in this world. The desert was exceptional. I have always been happy to pay the bill here because every moment of the experience is a pleasure.

Our appetizers (Timballo of Eggplant and Caciocavallo Silano ) and the pasta (Agnolotti Filled with Honey Squash and Bufala Ricotta) were outstanding and the grilled octopus was good. However while the Pan-Seared Venison Loin on Red Wine and Juniper Sauce was presented well, the venison piece I had lacked a nice venison flavor (maybe an old deer) and the Roasted Rabbit Leg Scented with Uncinato Black Truffle was missing any hint of truffle and the mushrooms were nothing special. The rabbit leg itself was good and well prepared but my companion just didn't taste any truffle scent or flavor which was a key part of his choice of rabbit. I would go back to try it again but I would order from the pasta dishes for my main dish or try the fish. The setting was lovely and the service was very good. They were very attentive to serving our table. It is a lovely setting for a special dinner.

The menu was not very extensive, so we had a hard time finding something to order, even though we are normally adventurous diners. Somehow, rabbit’s legs and gray mullet didn’t sound too appealing. It was a lively place, and the staff was nice, but I don’t think we’ll be going back.
