Gattopardo Ristorante di Mare

zero efficiency. decided to fill myself wth nutrition and ordered the 'calamari and white bean' stew at @gattopardoristorantedimare. It tastes 100 times better than it sounds and looks! (need to look into the menu copy to give the dish more justice). Felt 20% better. Food heals. #sgeats #pokemongo #seafood #seefood #burpple #yelpsg #hgwsg

Loving this presentation we did for a media shoot today. #burpple #citynomads #hungrygowhere

freshly made ravioli stuffed wth sicilian red prawn and a bed of tomato sauce....and more. U can trust an italian chef with pastab

Granted, this is no fault of the restaurant as it is not a great year for truffles, but these are pitiful -- and expensive. Save your money.

I would have been perfectly content to order just the pasta as the texture of the fresh egg pasta was amazing and the brown butter sauce was earthy as it coated each strand of pasta evenly leading to a wonderful flavor.
Don't get me wrong, this was great pasta dish. But after paying $70, you would really hope for a life changing dish and unfortunately this wasn't it.

Slices of iberico pork jowl was sous vide and then char grilled giving it a wonderful smoky aroma. The high fat content made it super tender and insanely delicious. The mashed potatoes were silky smooth and had just the right hint of butter and diary which combined with the pork for a wonderful flavour and texture explosion. The dish was rounded off with the addition of broccolini and carrots to temper out the richness of the dish.
For $39 this might a little pricey but its well worth it! also if you have the entertainer app, you get 1 for 1 mains so this could be potentially free!

Don't get me wrong though. The Parma ham had creamy layers of fat which gave it great flavor. The caponata was a nice contrast to the richness of it all, the pillows of bread were fluffy and aromatic and the burrata was great; mozzarella shreds in heavy cream stuffed into a tender mozzarella shell😛.. But it was so little🙁 There was way too much caponata and Parma harm and too little burrata.
For $28, we weren't really expecting the entire ball but maybe just a bit more balance in terms of portion sizing would have made the dish even better.
