ABOUT
OUR RESTAURANT
Gattopardo has been sharing our brand of Sicilian cuisine over the years, designed by award-winning chef Lino Sauro and his team. Located at a charming pre-historic pre-war shophouse in the heart of the bustling Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood, our team has curated many experiences to remember, from personal to corporate.
This is possible because our philosophy is simple – to fill our space with happy memories of our food.
Just like in Sicily.
OUR CUISINE
"Be refreshed by award winning Chef Lino Sauro's unique style of cooking. The Sicilian-style restaurant, which was recently recognised as one of the "Top Italian Restaurants" by the international, prestigious Gambero Rosso Restaurant Guide, features stalwart dishes such as the
Gattopardo Signature Seafood Stew, and specialty handmade pastas using only freshest, seasonal ingredients. Be delighted by the a la carte menu which changes with the seasons, making this a dining destination to return to for more unforgettable delectable moments."
OUR CHEF
Chef Lino Sauro, born in the village of Gangi to a family of farmers in Sicily still calls himself a ‘traditional village boy. Having travelled around the globe alone since 15 years old, he is powered by his passion to bring Sicilian cuisine to the world.
He started Gattopardo Ristorante di Mare in 2010, winning acclaim for his brand of cuisine and signature dishes, such as the Gambero Rosso (Sicilian red prawn) Ravioli and Salt-baked Sea Bass. In 2016, he further spread the Sicilian gospel with Olio, his 100-seater restaurant in Kensington Street in Sydney.
He has also been invited to share his style of Sicilian cuisine at the Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur and Ubud Food Festival. For his efforts, he was awarded the
“Chef’s Choice” title at the World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence in 2016.
