Personale eccellente, ambiente molto accogliente, che dire un angolo italiano vero a New York

First off I only drink one kind of wine and thats brunello di Montecino. When a resto offers that top tier italian wine by the glass they score BIG in my book. Plus, they offer a glass in 2oz, 5oz, or 8oz! This allows for people to do their own pairings with their courses or when you want just a few sips more but not a full glass. I wish every place offered this luxury! We ate outside and it sits on a quiet tree lined street with beautiful lighting, gorgeous architecture, padded chairs and plants with umbrellas to complete the very appealing ambience. The service was both welcoming and attentive. I had my service dog and w/o even asking they promptly brought her a bowl of fresh water. The food was delicious. The bread basket was filled with 3-4 different breads all excellent and very fresh, olive oil was flavorful. My salad was so good! Arugula, orange, candied pecans! I had the ricotta gnocchi in a cherry tomato very light sauce. A side of spinach was the perfect compliment. My dinner guest ordered a Negroni spritzer and said how great it was as she ordered a second! She had an artichoke mouse app and an eggplant parm that was very delicate. It's upscale and can add up on the bill but relaxed and very special.

Wonderful food and ambience. Very attentive staff. Noise level indoors was tolerable because the place wasn't full when we dined. Participating in restaurant week so a three-course dinner was only $60 and it included complimentary bites, a variety of breads, and cookies.

The service was impeccable. We did the Restaurant Week menu. The apps were good, but not amazing. The homemade pasta was outstanding, the beef stew was underwhelming, and dessert was decadent and delicious. I would go back again, and definitely felt the food was with the price. The service is some of the best I've experienced.

It's like the overly fancy neighborhood restaurant that your favorite artistic aunt or grandmother goes to every Thursday night. You want it to be great but the food is just ok.

Great experience. Service was exceptional, and food was very delicious. Very close to the Lincoln Center and went to the Ballet after dinner. Lovely neighborhood, and great restaurant ambiance.

Beautiful restaurant in historical building in New York's upper west side. Attentive service and great dining environment. Appetizers were exquisite - tuna tartar and fresh mozzarella salad. Entrees were uninspiring and disappointing. Gnocchi was heavy and doughy. Truffle pasta was gluey and bland. Quite disappointing, especially given the high price tag.

Great food and service. Unique experience with a beautiful “museum-like” ambiance. We appreciated the guidance with the menu to enjoy best food experiences. Planning to come back next time I am in town.

Over all a nice couples experience. The restaurant was half filled could be loud when full. The lamb tuna anchovy appetizer was excellent, the seafood pasta was good, the lamb loin was excellent , the halibut was a large piece but over cooked making it dry had to ask for extra sauce, the dessert pistachio cream puff was excellent. The service was very attentive.
We ate outside and the food was terrific. They had a two piece band playing jazz which we enjoyed immensely. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in New York.

The Leopard is always flawless. Delicious food, extensive wine selection. knowledgeable and caring servers. And who can beat the ambience of that sumptuous old room at the former Cafe des Artistes?

I felt uncomfortalble with three waiters watching me the whole time. What did they think? I was going to steal the silverware. I have a life threatening neurological condition. They were horrified when I took out my medication to take to keep me from being paralyzed and just watched me drop a very important urgent medication and left it very visible on the foot all night. When I left the restroom wity my brain damaged unsteady gait, a waitress I passed By thought it was humorous.No accessible bathroom. If you have a disability, don't waste your time with th se judgmental narrow minded elitists. BTW, I'm an Army veteran and a successful physician and these middle-aged waiters have the nerve to look down on me?

The setting is very special with playful murals of modern nymphs in a well proportioned and decorated room. The service was attentive and professional but not suffocating. Our meal was superb, the Dover Sole was done perfectly , and presented professionally. The Bronzino with Mediterranean garnishes was received enthusiastically by Diane. This is not our first visit and look forward to the next.

The food is fine, but not great for the price and aspiration. The pasta was soggy. The wine list has very limited choices in the reasonable by the glass (around $25) prices. No Cabernet. No Chardonnay. To get those you have to go to a separate pricier list, where Chardonnay is $40! But it's a nice ambiance and wall decorations.
