The Gattopardo restaurant, in the village of Summerseat, nestled in a curve of the River Irwell north of Bury, brings together the best of old and new with an Italian flavour. This contemporary dining room, with its sophisticated monochrome scheme, sleek marble bar and high-beamed ceilings contributing to the feeling of light and space, is a family run venture, created by Sicilians Saverio and Antonio. The Gattopardo – named after the emblem of the village where the owners were raised, ‘gattopardo’ translated as ‘leopard’ – is dedicated to serving high quality Italian food, freshly prepared to order with excellent ingredients. Simple and traditional flavours are found throughout the Gattopardo menu, based on authentic local cookery but presented in the sophisticated and attractive style diners expect from the very best restaurants.
