The
Sicilian duo, Lino Sauro & Alex Calabro, in venture with the Garibaldi
Group, is the soul of Gattopardo. This restaurant is one of the very few in Singapore
specializing in Southern Italian cuisine.
Lino
expertly helms the kitchen whilst Alex, previously sommelier and operations
manager for Garibaldi and Gunther’s, now dedicates his time to ensure his
customers at Gattopardo are well looked-after.
Based
on the famous Sicilian novel by Giuseppe Tommasi di Lampedusa, "Il
Gattopardo" (The Leopard), is a story of passion, love and political
changes in Sicily
during the Risorgimento (the Italian Unification) under General Garibaldi’s
time.
Gattopardo
is a place where contemporary Italian design and Mediterranean flavors meet the
authentic colonial architecture of Singapore, establishing a
relationship between the modern and the quaint.
Step
inside Gattopardo and discover the charm of a space where the old facade blends
with the modern; the restaurant is simultaneously defined by elegance and
simplicity and is characterized by graceful proportions and a sense of
familiarity and friendliness.
Diners
can expect a different and refreshing style of cooking from Chef Lino, who
brings his 25 years of culinary experience to the fore. With secret authentic
recipes, he will tantalise your palate with the luscious taste and rustic
ambience of Sicily.
Lino’s ingredients are flown-in almost daily from the Mediterranean Sea, so
expect the same fish that you will eat by the sea in the golf of Sorrento or on one of the
Sicilian islands.
This
is Gattopardo--food, wine, art, family and friendships- all bound together by
the passion and love for life.
