Great food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend the steak with the blue cheese sauce!!

I hate having to leave this review. This restaurant used to be our favourite pre children and we always used to come. This was the first time we have been in about 4 years and sadly, probably the last. The food standard and quality was poor. I ordered a carbonara which was incredibly bland and not authentic. It was clearly just cooked in a lots of cream and so, it just tasted of cream. We were the only ones in there and didn t get offered any Parmesan or salt and pepper which would have at least added a little bit of flavour to it. I ordered a caprese salad but no basil on it and covered in balsamic vinegar. It wasn t enjoyable. I left a lot of my pasta due to it not being great. My husband ordered a Hawaiian Pizza but had to remove the pineapple as it tasted off . The lunch time offer is appealing at £8 for pizza or pasta but unfortunately it was let down by the quality. It s a shame, because it used to be a great restaurant.

Myself and my daughter met some of my work colleagues here for some lunch. Wed pre-ordered our food as we came during our lunch break. The service was quick and efficient. The food was delicious. Highly recommend this place. Chef Leo done a fantastic job. Sunday 27th October We returned for Sunday Roast. Myself, my partner, my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law and as much as the food was nice, the dinner plates were cold which meant our food was cold. Never got a check-back to see how our meals were. Wed ordered two desserts and only got one free as a good will gesture. Well be returning but not for a roast dinner.

Had a roast dinner today. Plates were cold food was colder. Roast potatoes were from the freezer cauli was a pot of cream/ grated cheese on top. Yorkshire was not fresh. All pizza and pasta dishes that came out looked amazing. Roast dinners are not your thing please stick to what you know. DO NOT EVER GO THERE FOR A ROAST!!!!

Place needs to renovation and cleaning foid its very poor frozen pizza could be better no herps very slowly waiters even if its quite this place needs to new management

The lasagna here is great , complements to the chef in which I was told is new to mattones . Look for forward to coming back .

We went for a birthday party, we had a table reserved and when we arrived we waited 15 minutes to be seated (bearing in mind the restaurant was almost empty). They didn t have the food that was advertised on the menu so we couldn t order what we wanted. So we bought 4 different pizzas, and every single one tasted the same and flavourless. We ordered 2 different mocktails which were impossible to drink, they were so sour, and they both also tasted exactly the same. The waitresses didn t clear the plates off our table after having starters and there was no space on the table so we had to start moving things around ourselves. Food was bad quality, service was not good and we regretted that we didn t stand up and go elsewhere to eat.

Good food, good atmosphere, not crowded

We walked into a quiet, tired restaurant in need of a refresh. After being shown to our table, we waited almost 10mins and needed to find someone to serve us. The majority of our cutlery and crockery were blemished with dry food or grease stains. We chose the freshly baked in house every day Focaccia & Olives After eating a couple of slices of bread, we noticed that the bread underneath was COVERED in mould!! We decided not to carry on with our meal. They were good enough not to charge for what we had already consumed. The staff were not shocked by the issue, it felt like they were accustomed to having problems. We were told that the chef thought the mould was olives. Im not a trained chef and it was 100% obvious by the blue colour and pattern that it was mould. Avoid at all costs.

Great little place with a very tasty food, generous portion prices were reasonable. Definitely worth the visit. Thank you

Excellent meatballs with spaghetti! Bacon in the Carbonera is delicious as well as the alfredo sauce! The cheese bread is basically a NY white pizza and was great! We needed some good food and this hit the spot!

What a lovely restaurant, food was amazing and the service was excellent.

They don t use salt AT ALL. The pizza dough didn t have any salt so it was like eating flour dough without flavor. The pasta where really nada as well. Terrible place

Great service and delicious food

Great pizza & a decent price for lunch. Friendly service. We ll have to come back for dinner. Food

Day out with family. Food was tasteless. Food : 1/5

Lovely food and atmosphere

If you love Italian food - DON T GO THERE! The restaurant is an insult to Italian cuisine. Bland food, clueless and unwelcome staff. The only thing authentic here is the bill youll receive. Save your appetite for a real Italian experience elsewhere.

Italian restaurant ? Oh please. Food has nothing to do with italian cuisine. Pizza ? Im sorry but frozen pizza from aldi is much better. Pasta, completely tasteless. Very disappointed, the owner clearly has no idea about italian food. Never again.

Fantastic cocktails, wonderful staff and decent food.

Excellent food! All staff are great! We had a wonderful evening! Thank you!

I ordered the salmon and hubby had the meatballs both were delicious. Unfortunately the restaurant was out of a few things on the menu. The pudding was not added to the bill. The table was very sticky and I felt it needed a good clean. A nice evening but we wont rush back.

I m actually ashamed at myself for having to put 1 star. There wasn t an option to do 0 stars unfortunately. Drinks took 20 minutes Food took over an hour - The very small restaurant was only half full when we ordered The margarita tasted like nail polish remover The chips were stale First and last time visiting this awful place.

This is an excellent restaurant. I always feel relaxed here and enjoy the atmosphere. The service is polite and friendly and the food is very tasty and authentic Italian.

Food was very nice only 4 people in the restaurant on a Saturday night when we arrived very quite no one arrived while we were there. There wasnt a atmosphere as the place was nearly empty. 2 staff front of house took drinks order then came back for food order food came out quick but once we got our mains thats the last we saw of the staff they stood at the bar we was never asked if everything was OK or if we wanted any more drinks so the service wasnt very good

Lovely 2 for 1 cocktails And friendly waitress Service

Another really enjoyable meal. Lovely food and great service.

Excellent local restaurant with delicious Italian food and a good range of cocktails and beers. Comes across as a lovely authentic Italian restaurant with heaps of style. Very much recommend.

Over welmed awesome.

Lovely food, disappointed that they had run out of the main I wanted and the desert, plenty of alternatives avaliable. Comfortable seating, good choice of drinks avaliable, did not feel rushed to order or leave after eating. They put the service charge on the bill, but this was pointed out before paying and the staff would have taken it off if requested. Was happy to pay it and probably would have paid more than the 10% added, if not already included. Worth a visit

Went for the first time two weeks ago, was so impressed went back twice for the weekday lunch deal and yesterday had the Sunday roast lunch, huge portions, beef a bit chewy, lamb, veg and Yorkshire pudding all excellent. Deserves more customers. The weekday lunch deal is pasta or pizza for £7, get it wile you can!!!!

If you looking for place to eat AVOID!!! WASTE OF MONEY

Gorgeous pasta, Richard was such a pleasant and friendly chap. Definitely recommend

Great food, lunch time special

We have been coming here since it was first opened. However, the last 2/3 visits have left us feeling disappointed. Tonight (9/2/24) is probably our last visit. The staff whilst friendly were clueless as to the menu. Our server did not understand what a Rioja was. We were told that you did not have any so chose another red wine only to be told that a Rioja was found. Not only did the Rioja arrive but also the second choice of wine. So far it was humorous like an episode of Fawlty Towers. I received the incorrect pizza which was returned and was tried to be fixed by removing incorrect topping and adding the correct topping where the new topping was cold. A fresh pizza was then prepared which came with a soggy doughy base and was not particularly warm. My husbands meal was taken back to the kitchen to be remade so we could eat together. His new meal was salty and dry, not at all appealing. To top it off the bill arrived where we were overcharged for a bowl of olives to be told that this was a computer error. We had a reservation booked for a family party in a couple weeks which we have subsequently cancelled because we no longer trust the restaurant. Summary, inexperienced staff whilst friendly and tried their best do not know the menu, food poor and felt diddled with the bill.

I guess this is what happens when non-Italians run an Italian restaurant. The new owners need to make up their mind in terms of what type of outlet this place is, and fast. Its very far from Italian but its an ok local generic eatery. Unfortunately we now have a grand total of zero proper Italian restaurants in the area.

This place has gone downhill since being taken over last year. The base of the pizza was so hard the knife was unable to cut through it. The salad is now missing the lovely sweet onion relish making it very basic. This will be my last visit.

Food is really good, can be a bit noisy at times but not too bad.

Had full English breakfast. Absolutely Delicious. Highly recommended. Food

Good food and very friendly and polite staff

Wanted somewhere nice to take granddaughter before she went back to uni & noticed mattoni now open on Mondays. We had the lunchtime offer of half pizza, chips & salad rather than pasta which was also available for £7. A real tasty treat. Food

My wife and I were recommended this Italian restaurant as a very good place to eat. Well. It did not disappoint. The scallops we had were very tender and flavorful. The Lasagna was cooked just right. Not overcooked at all. Will be eating there again.

Fab evening with my best friend. Service was excellent. Very efficient staff. Always checking if you needed anything. I had steak and it was cooked to perfection, highly recommend. No tables empty and really nice vibe Food

Great service, super food, relaxed friendly atmosphere .

Good food at a good price, and excellent service

The best Italian in Peterborough

Friendly staff and efficient service.... particularly liked the way they offered me the chance to remove the service charge from the bill which was very reasonable

Always a good evening when you go here for food.

5 stars

Excellent food and Service, we always enjoy our visits

Small but tasty food.

Amazing pizza and pastas

Really cosy place with amazing food. It has a unique feeling unlike all the chains in our town. Highly recommended

Didnt realise that this place was a night Club . I live near this place and the music is so loud I can feel my house vibrate . They dont care about others living near here !

Work Team dinner out, had a great time

Good customer service. Good food

Exceptional food in a vibrant atmosphere, well served by great staff. Has become our go-to restaurant. Inexpensive, too. Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant, but in a good way!

Tried it twice now, lunch and evening meal. Hard working staff, got a good meal both times for reasonable prices. Very nice pizzas and good carbonara.

Another great experience.

I went to the restaurant with two of my friends. One of my friends was celebrating her 60th birthday. We arrived at the restaurant and seated, we waited over 25 mins and then had to ask a member of staff if we could please have some menus and order some drinks / cocktails. They brought the menus finally. Then we waited another 20mins and had to ask again to place our order. We ordered some cocktails ,bottle of wine oh and our food as we didnt want to wait any longer. The cocktails arrived one had a fly in it so had to be replaced , the wine arrived no glasses ,they were just coming oh no they werent. The food then arrived.would you like black pepper or parmesan? Oh parmesan please we replied, so the parmesan was grated over our pasta and us !!! Then eventually our wine glasses arrived. As this was booked for a special occasion, the whole experience turned out to be an expensive disappointment so wont be returning.

Really nice resteraunt with excellent staff that are happy to arrange special requests with ease. Highly recommend.

Good food i had here with a beautiful woman. Very reasonably priced and great taste.

The rats shared the food with me

Very friendly staff and great food

The atmosphere was amazing, we got shown to out table straight away and service was perfect the food came out quick and after we were done with the starters we got asked if we were ready for the mains which came out 5 minutes after that. Definitely will be coming back.

Visited twice recently for lunch and food was amazing on both occasions . Generous portions and made with care , a credit to the chef and staff were so attentive and professional.

I have just had the best steak Ive ever had whilst eating out. All I can say is wow. The meal was sublime and the service was spot on. I shall be going again and again and again. First class.

I was part of a group of four who had an excellent meal at Mattoni this week. The food was cooked fresh for us and tasted delicious. The staff were friendly, made us feel welcome and were a pleasure to deal with. The waitress who served us gave advice on the menu and talked about the restaurant. There was a pleasant atmosphere. We plan to visit this restaurant again.

Great food and great atmosphere it was quick service and our waitress kirsty was very helpful and polite.

We had a lovely meal in Mattonis for a friends birthday. Atmosphere was great and the food was amazing. Our server was Karson who was polite and welcoming. Well be coming again!

Very good quality of the products and very close to the italian taste.

Amazing delicious food and presentation.Our server, Kirsty was incredibly and friendly and attentive throughout our meal.I am a vegetarian and ordered Penne Arrabbiata which very beautifully presented and delicious and a variety of choices.Lovely and friendly atmosphere would highly recommend it !

Very nice food good atmosphere

Another great evening. Lovely food and great service. Warm and welcoming, an ideal place to take the whole family.

Beautiful food and super service

Great food , great service, great wine selection

Excellent food and service.

Very nice meal good service , recommended

Just visited this places for the first time. What an atmosphere! Beautiful, very tidy and cozy place. It was the first time we have visited but defo not the last. Beautiful calm music, very polite staff, very nice place to sit and eat. We were served by Hugh, wow, 10 out of 10! What a polite person. We felt very welcoming. The food perfect as well! Everything freshly made and tastes really good. Kids menu fantastic, more than enough This is going to be our favourite place to dine in in Peterborough. Well done to all the staff who works there. Thank you. We had a very great experience with this place.

Excellent food and Superb service set in Fantastic surroundings- would highly recommend!

Had a great meal, good service and great food.

As expected. Nothing spectacular, nothing bad.

Food service and staff amazing

Very cozy restaurant and delicious food . My kids love this place a lot

Not been to Mattoni s in quite a while so it was nice to go back. Back in the day, they used to have absolutely awful service which I m happy to say they ve improved massively. The staff is were an absolute delight, very prompt and polite. The food/drinks also didn t take too long to arrive, good selection of pasta s and pizza s and and extensive cocktail menu. However I do feel like the food could ve been much better. It definitely was quite bland although well cooked. All of the dishes were just lacking flavour.

Fantastic food, great service and will definitely go back

Lovely venue, friendly / helpful staff gorgeous food.

Good serving, reasonable price, fairly quick service

Excellent service, great evening!

Had an excellent steak this afternoon. Lovely atmosphere. Staff very polite and engaging.

Had a very pleasant meal for Mothers Day.

Steak is incredible

This place was recommended to me by colleagues, and we have decided to try it out. What can I say, we were delighted! First of all, the waitress Cristina was amazing and very professional! Best service we have received in Peterborough! Give her a pay rise! Food was absolutely stunning. We couldn t believe it! And the atmosphere was delightful. We are definitely coming back and bringing friends!

2nd time of ordering from there. 1st time over a year ago lasagne was cold not even cooked and dessert missing. Tonight again food not hot mozzarella topping tough and luke warm. FoccaciA bread and olives only olives received no bread

Lovely meals with a good atmosphere

Kids menu is definitely something your kids will love

Great food, ambience and service

Amazing food... Excellent service... And enjoyed the live music! Really a treat, our visit was a shot in the dark... And what a lovely surprise!

Delicious food and the staff were highly accommodating of our twin boys. Excellent service with a great approach to the children to entertain them and brought over things that we would usually need to ask for in other places. Will definitely be returning soon.

Ive had nice dinner, spaghetti bolognese was good. Staff very polite and found last minute table. If I would be local would return

Great staff. Food was scrumptious!

Good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff :)

Lovely food (inc Gluten Free options) and a great night. Drinks not cheap but very lucky to have a cocktail bar on my doorstep

Always love coming here and great service!

Lovely food, friendly staff and helpful staff

Nice food, good service.

excellent food and excellent service... definitely will be going there again I keep going back and it lives up to expectation every time Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options... Really enjoyed the food

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome in the restaurant

We havent been for ages - our last experience was disappointing. Not so this time. Excellent waitresses. Friendly but professional. Good sized tables (unless youre unfortunate enough to arrive in a busy evening when you may be seated at a table for 2 - or more realistically, a table for 1). But the star of the show is the steak. Sadly it was so good I didnt manage to photograph it - it was all gone before I remembered I wanted to do a review. No gristle. Perfect seasoning. Delicious rosemary wedges and fresh as a daisy salad on the side. My husband had the chicken and he was blown away by his meal which came with his favourite saute potatoes. Well certainly be back. I hope the same chef is on again. Dietary restrictions: There was gluten free (GF) pasta available

Quick service, great food, clean toilets, friendly staff and good value! Parking: Small car park available just over the road

Just love this restaurant. Very friendly staff. Food always good and they make a mean cocktail. Whats not to like?

We keep Mattoni as our special restaurant but left disappointed recently. The service was excellent however the canaloni had obviously been heated up as it only filled half the dish ? And £5.80 for a pint of Peroni ? And lastly not sure 10% service charge should be added ?? Surely that should be at the customers discretion ? I know you can decline but who does ???

Fantastic service at mattoniAs always the food was excellent the staff and proprietor are so friendly Feels Like Home always go to this restaurant on a special occasionFull stop thank you for making my birthday extra specialMuch love Mario

Top..

Chose this place based on distance and reviews and was not disappointed. Service was quick and responsive, food was freshly cooked and hot. Those chipped potatoes were amazing, crisp and hot and a good size portion.

Lovely food, good service

Very friendly and helpful staff, delicious food and choices, including the desert of the day (salted caramel cheesecake)!!! Only downside was one order was wrong, but very apologetic and correct item received promptly.

Lovely food, very friendly staff. Cannot wait to go back!

Excellent service! Popped in early doors. Had a special offer on pasta. I has mussels. They were beautifully presented and delicious. Lasagne was excellent too. Recommend.

Very disappointing-Polpette & Spaghetti very just tasteless & heavy. Lasagna tasted shop bought not homemade, mozzarella cheese was flavourless. Cannelloni wasn t great either. Pizza was okay but very stingy with the pepperoni. Won t be rushing back. If you want to see how others are doing it better try the Italian in Oundle the food is amazing or The pizza house in town.

Very nice setting, great food and polite staff. Childrens menu is amazing value and highly recommend if you want something different for little ones. Food

Wonderful food, excellent atmosphere. Great service.

One of my favourite restaurants in the area! The food is just incredible! You would think you are in Milan. Its family owned and is a lovely little jem. Sometimes can get very busy. So booking is advised. The cocktails are really worth trying too, they are fantastic.

Beautiful food, staff were so friendly and even though it was mega busy! There was no waiting time food came out quickly and drinks were kept on top of. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu was amazing, the dessert and the size of our sons pizza made his evening

Hampton mattonis. Excellent. Service was faultless. The staff were very attentive, friendly and competent. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Vegetarian options: Good selection well made.

Great service and tasty food. Love the garlic bread and vegetarian lasagne.

Beautiful food and service. Definitely recommend

Delicious food and excellent service

I Google a restaurant near to where I had walked 6 miles and found Mattoni. The food and service was outstanding.My good friend and I ate on the sidewalk with the sun beaming...it was perfect.

Finally a visit to a restaurant again after lockdown has been lifted. It was nice to be in a busy restaurant with a good atmosphere! Food was great as well. Portions are huge and they offered to box up the leftovers for us.

We a wonderful time having Passionfruit cocktails fresh pizzas and chatting with staff and customers

We had a lovely experience. The food was very good and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend it.

Ok

Amazing, attentive service! Lovely food and great environment.

Generally speaking, relative to its peers, the price, taste, and serving at this restaurant are all comparable. However, within the area around Peterborough, this is the most superior Italian restaurant.

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful food and very friendly staff, would recommend. Independent family owned and run

I visited Mattoni Hampton last night for a early birthday meal with my loved ones, and we all throughly enjoyed our night!! Staff went above and beyond for all of us, food was amazing(partner keeps going on about the fillet steak and how it was the best hes ever had) and the cocktails were gorgeous as usual! We cant wait to visit again! Would 100% recommend! Thank you to all of your lovely staff for such a lovley evening

What an amazing customer service and food! Will definitely come back

Amazing food , excellent service , highly recommended.

Excellent service and great food.

Great food, great atmosphere and the staff are always very nice.

Lively, friendly, enjoyed our meal & reasonably priced.

My addressred 3 pasta dishes through Just Eats. Was following delivery on the map on the ap. Saw it was in the next street and suddenly the screen went to DELIVERED. Never turned up at her address. Phoned restaurant spoke to 2 people, one was manager to be told it wasnt there responsibility as they had given it to the driver. Very unhelpful and quite rude. After failing to contact Just Eat she called them back. Refused a refund and said they wouldnt send another order out as it would affect their profits. Very unprofessional.

Fantastic

My wife and I with two friends went to Hampton Matonis on Saturday 9/10/21 and had a superb meal. The place had changed since I was last there, but not the very efficient and friendly staff or the wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely return soon. My thanks to all for a lovely evening.

Fantastic food and service

This is a lovely restaurant, weve been visiting for many years. The food is always great quality. They have a wide selection of food and drink on the menu, including pizza, pasta, fish and meat dishes. The staff are always very friendly. We will be coming back. Thank you.

Good honest food. Good service.

Went to mattoni s Friday night for my grandsons birthday did not enjoy the food was charged for a full pizza when I ordered a kids pizza will be a long time till I go back again if I ever go back

I love the place! The owners are hands on and it was nice to meet them! Portions are big! Exactly what you want for a meal out!

Lovely, lovely food

I had Pasta Alfredo and I must say it was spectacular! It is second pasta I will remember for . The first one I had long ten years ago which was best Arabiatta I had. This one was first pasta in cream sauce and it was heavenly!!!! Honestly I cannot describe how tasty it was! Now to add to that, my partner said he has his best pizza ever! Staff were very friendly! Enjoyed it thoroughly!!!

Love Mattonis, real Italian ambience. The staff cannot do enough for you, always remaining professional and yet making you feel part of a large family. Goretti, the owner goes from table to table, making everyone feel welcome. Food is superb. Would highly recommend.
