The iconic and shuttered Café Des Artistes is reopened as The Leopard at Des Artistes, serving Italian fare with Neapolitan roots. A variety of recipes are influenced by the local aristocracy, in contrast from the popular traditions containing poor but nutritionally healthy ingredients. From the appetizers, one could do a lot worse than selecting the grilled octopus and potato salad, served in an oil oil and lemon dressing, and move on from there to a homemade pappardelle with roasted rabbit and seasonal mushrooms (or the whatever undeniable risotta of the day is on offer), but the entrées are where the meat of the menu comes in: the Meatloaf Il Gattopardo is a moist, delicious dream, and the grilled, dry-aged rib eye—loving served with roasted bone marrow and garnished with rosemary fries—serves two with a one way ticket to gastronomical oblivion.
