Matto in Québec City

Superb Italian fare, excellent wine list, topped off with exceptional service - they provide an outstanding dining experience. Highly recommend.

We came during an office party. The service and meals were amazing! Favorite for the parmesan fondues, olives, margherita pizza & mushroom parpadelle. The only problem was that we were told that we would have an inclusive group menu for vegetarians and this was not the case at all stages of the service. The small platters that circulated at the start of the evening were all meat or fish and the minestrone soup (with pulled pork) could not be replaced by a vegetarian option at first, but was ultimately replaced by a fairly bland salad: lettuce iceberg, 2 large pieces of tomatoes with olive oil. It s a shame not to be able to deviate from the group menu when no vegetarian substitute of equal quality is offered at any stage of the service. Aside from this little glitch, I enjoyed the experience at Matto overall.

yesterday we went to dine with our friends and while the food and atmosphere was great, the service from our server John was horrible. he seemed uninterested and in a rush, barely making any eye contact and deliberately ignoring our simple request of olive oil with the bread. we had to flag down another server for this. super disappointed with the service since the host and other serving staff we interacted were very nice and professional.

Really beautiful, nice staff, and excellent food. I really recommend the mushroom risotto. In addition, the service is very very fast compared to any other chic restaurant.

Very good Italian restaurant, the agnoletti, mushroom papardelle and seafood linguine are a delight Also try the burrata and tomato jam The staff takes great care of us, I even had a little surprise for my birthday I recommend it

My experience at Matto was mediocre at best, which was very disappointing, especially since the reviews were great. The food was meh. The service was lacking my waiter brought me dessert instead of the check when asked, and then skimmed my change when I paid in cash to collect his own tip. The only real positive was the convenience of the restaurant s location to my hotel. I ll be skipping Matto on my next trip to Quebec City.

A restaurant that aims to be upscale. It was my first experience at Matto, I had a reservation. I was recommended it by a friend. I dont see all the interest given to this restaurant. The service was friendly (maybe even too friendly, there was a lack of professionalism in my opinion) we arrived hoping to be in a high-end or even chic restaurant, but oh how we were in the field - The music was very loud - We were packed like sardines in the restaurant, I rarely saw that there was no room to get to our table... the people who were in the corridor before constantly people passing by touching them , with hammers passing over their plates. - The waiter was running around like a chicken in the restaurant - My dish was lukewarm and VERY small. If you are used to going to Bello, do not order the veal escalope parmegiana, you will be very disappointed. - The waiter spilled water on our table and on us every time he put water in our glasses. - The restaurant claims to be high-end, but the service, the atmosphere and ESPECIALLY the appearance of the members of the restaurant team are not at all consistent with high-end. It s a Pacini or Cosmos style restaurant, but less beautiful. Pacini and Cosmos at least the menus are not torn :/ Maybe my expectations were too high, but I hoped this restaurant would be better

6/5!!! Drinks, starter, main meal and dessert... EVERYTHING was 6 out of 5. I always try to go to new restaurants so as not to get used to one place but here Im definitely coming back!

This is good

I love the setting and the atmosphere! Plus the food is excellent!! Only the service is a little slow but thats the price of success...

Went twice on a recent visit. Great food and service. I live for high quality Italian food.

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday. We got the booth in the back and all of us enjoyed every course and the service was great! Highly recommend.

Very good time. We ate really well and the service was incredible, thank you Théo for the service

Thank you to the team for a very nice evening in your excellent restaurant. Food and service are always there at Matto. You gave us a memorable wedding anniversary evening.

Don t go here xx

Beautiful atmosphere, good dishes with a nice diversity. The only negative point is the location of the bathrooms. You have to go through the neighboring hotel and go down to the basement.

Booking according to the rules of the art! Il Matto are catering professionals. Warm welcome from our steward, a pleasant and polite waiter, we chose the sambuca shrimp with its slightly lemony risotto! A marvel for the taste buds! I recommend this restaurant if you like a chic and refined place! I also recommend the wine ! The Valpolicella is exquisite! Dont forget to have dessert! They are delicious . I will come back!

First meal in Quebec City and it s yum!

The bread is perfection served with chilled butter and balsamic and olive oil. Veal parmesan was wonderful. So was the manicotti. The noodles taste like they are homemade fresh right there. The sauce is some of the best and most fresh tomato sauce Ive had. Romantic vibe was nice.

A beautiful place on the South Shore

Great service and outstanding dishes!

This was hands down one of the best dinners I have ever had! The food was fresh and everything tasted amazing! Our server Melissa was an absolute gem. We will be back everytime we are back in Quebec city.

Succulent meal and extra nice and pleasant waitress! Im going to go back!

Nice place for dinner! The food was great and service was excellent. The dining room is crowded and noisy so we sat at the bar and it was much nicer. Good Italian wine selection and the pasta is homemade.

Great food. Excellent staff.

Matto has a small quiet room that offers a warm, romantic setting. The veal - in its many renditions here - is tender and tasty. Great service - and the maitre d is top-shelf.

Very good and good service. Great mushroom pastry. A little noisy.

Exceptional service and food Simple, simple and a recipe that sticks to REAL Italian cuisine Increasingly rare Full box

Our 2nd visit, the food is simply amazing. One, if not the best italian restaurant in Québec city.

Delicious and impeccable service.

Wow! Delicious !

Everything was perfect

My partner and I came here for dinner during our first ever trip to Québec City. We were quickly seated, despite not having a reservation! The host very kindly gave me a blanket (we were sitting outside in the late evening). Our server, Teo, was very attentive, professional, and charismatic. We ordered bruschetta, calamari, croquettes, and manicotti. It was all absolutely delicious. The place is definitely pricey, but par for the course in the city. Great place!

We got the mushroom papardelle, penne jardiner, and calamari. Plain, boring and mid. Theres no depth to anything. The sauces were dry. But the place looks very nice.

Nice Italian food choice for everyone. I had spaghetti and meatballs which were very delicious.

This restaurant was the best we found in Quebec. Affordable. great service, location, food and variety of menu. You must try the Agnelotti. Marc-Antoine our server was fantastic! You wont be disappointed if you dine here! Food : 5/5

Great food and the service was excellent.

Excellent restaurant!!! We tried the pasta and pizza, which were delicious!! The desserts are also very good and the place is pleasant. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Outstanding food and service!!!! For me, it is one of the best restaurants in Old Quebec!!! We have adored !!!

Food was great, our waiter (Theo) was awesome. Knowledgeable, polite and overall amazing. Didnt ask for me to say their name or anything, Im legitimately overall impressed! I have never had a better waiter in my life. Thank you. 10/10

Not what I would expect with 4.5 rating. Food was decent, not great. Service was terrible: our waiter passed by our table every minute but failed to notice our drinks were empty, we had to ask for refills every time, and our entrees took 40 min to arrive. The dining room is very crowded and loud.

It s a must when we go to Quebec

We went for dinner on a Saturday evening, and what impeccable service! Great atmosphere, excellent food. The butler is super friendly and never leaves a customer unsatisfied!

Food was pretty good. Service was a bit slow throughout, but they managed to fit us in without a reservation which I appreciate.

They drove us matto at matto! Very slow service for non-french speakers and was very much a tourist trap. They barely checked on our table. Food was not authentic tasting, especially the sauces on the pastas, the only thing that was decent enough to recommend was the parmiggiano croquette and calamari. Portions were so small and don t get me started on having to eat our meal in the dark outside with spiders crawling on the table. Was told that the lights were turned off for some guests eating outside complaining about the light, so everyone else was stuck eating in the dark long after they left There was also a long grey hair on the bottle of sparkling water they gave us There are so many other amazing restaurants in QC, avoid at all costs!

What good service I had! :) THANKS

Excellent service and food. Definitely a place to visit

service and welcoming staff by far the best restaurant I have ever been to in my life dangerously pleasant you feel at home 10/10 I highly recommend

We loved our filet mignons, the blue cheese sauce was excellent!

Had linguine and seafood made spicy and it was unbelievably good, the sauce was meaty with seafood. Best food so far out of the 14 we ate at throughout Quebec.

Excellent example of a quality Italian restaurant. Highly recommend.

We had a nice time there. My Caesar salad was great and my spaghetti was tasty.

We went to Matto Quebec City now where some employees showed racism, especially the person who greets customers. Two couples arrived without reservations and were immediately seated, but when we came we were told there was no indoor seating, only outside. I agreed to sit outside, but the employee told me he would clear a table for us, then placed another couple outside and left us without a seat. I was very excited to try this restaurant, and this is my first time writing a review...

Loved the food, the vibe and great service too

Our server, Sophia, was fantastic! This family friendly menu and atmosphere made the perfect ending to our travel to Quebec City!

So good.. you might think of a restaurant for tourists... but NO :) Best carbonara I ate in Quebec The service is attentive there is a choice of wine I strongly recommend the one in Vieux and also Lévis.

not as good as Italy, but very good American-Italian style food. amazing selection of grappas. and great service.

Absolutely delicious and the service was fabulous. The atmosphere was friendly and attentive. Thank you

Wonderful atmosphere with the guests, great food. Even our imperfect language skills dont bother us.

Matto is a gift we give ourselves! Everything is nice, the service impeccable, the food delicious and the atmosphere is perfect!

Really good food and fast service

Very good food nice stuff Excellent I Food : 5/5

The experience at Matto was wonderful. Our waiter Francois was very kind, helpful and pleasant. The food was outstanding. The only issue was the sign leading into Matto. It was so small I walked right past it. Other than that after I found the restaurant the experience was great.

Very very ordinary carpaccio tastes too much like mayonnaise and mustard lacks fleur de sel, this dish is clearly missing a few things... I regretted my choice of starter after tasting the parmesan fondue. The filet mignon with cream and mushroom sauce is excellent as well as the mushroom parpadelle.

Superb discovery, their evening specialty, parpadelle or lobster risotto very delicious including lots of pieces of lobster. Good wine recommendation to accompany our meal. An address to keep.

Busy place and lovely staff. Atmosphere is fine, albeit over lighted with a bright chandelier in the corner. We were told to wait in hotel lobby for a table, but I think we were forgotten by the manager. Ultimately we were told we could sit at the bar. I suggest we find another place to eat, but wife wanted to stay. Bar staff was wonderful and good was good. In the end, we were offered a gratis night cap for any confusion which was a nice touch.

We are never disappointed with this restaurant, excellent food and impeccable service

Excellent experience

Our 3rd visit to this restaurant and the quality is still equal. The homemade parmesan fondue is a big favorite for our group. The pasta plates are truly on par with a typical Italian restaurant. Its a must during our visits to Quebec!!

Ok food, good service!

Good meal overall. Quite noisy place though. Excellent beef carpaccio.

4-30-2024 - Dinner - Table for 2 OVERALL: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 - Modern, eclectic A lively Italian place with the best homemade Italian flavours. Our server helped us translate the menu and suggested the house specials. Everything we ordered was excellent. We had - COZZE ALLA MARINARA - Fresh mussels in a flavorful marinara sauce. The mussels were plump and delicious. - PENNE ARRABIATA - Just a hit of hotness.. mouthwatering!!! - PIZZA MARGHERITA - The crust was thin but it did not turn gooey. The only miss for me was the bread served at the beginning. It was too soft and light. I would have loved some nice rustic Italian bread (grilled or broiled with butter or garlic) to soak up the marinara sauce. Vegetarian options: Our meal was vegetarian

Wow! Magnificent discovery last night at Matto. The service both at reception and at the table was incredible! Its been a very long time since I received such service in a restaurant. The starter and main course were very good with an excellent wine pairing. Thanks to the whole team. We will return there very soon.

What a lovely welcome we had! The meal was delicious and the service impeccable! Well done Matto! We will definitely return!

Great restaurant. Food was really good, but not quite worth the price. Seafood Linguine had a lot of variety of seafood in it which was nice.

Absolutely the best restaurant my group has experienced in Quebec City. We are visiting from the US and Francois and John went above and beyond for our group and made us feel like we were all the greatest of friends before this occasion! Thank you again for the absolute stellar experience. We will definitely be coming back. If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. I recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone who plans on visiting Quebec City.

Excellent restaurant at the bottom of the old town. Impeccable service. A little noisy. Reservation required. Very good, tasty dishes.

Good food, nice atmosphere

200% customer experience Excellent Italian food with generous portions. And the atmosphere is so festive. We had outstanding service and Gabriel, Pascale and all the staff know how to welcome us. Honestly, an Italian evening as I like them. I recommend completely without any hesitation. ***** Parking: Plenty of parking, easy to access.

Amazing food, excellent service

One of my favorite restaurants in Quebec.

Food was delicious, price was decent and the service was ok. Id definitely recommend this place if you want to have pasta in a place in between casual and fine dining.

If your not French speaking don t bother going waiters will ignore you while fussing over the table next to you not once asked if I wanted another glass of wine or topped up water all the while pouring wine for table next to us then turning there backs to us.Had the Salmon asked for it to be cooked medium way over cooked

Food was amazing; the staff was very attentive! Special thanks to Theo for his excellent service. We will definitely be back!

Super good restaurant! A sure value.

Seriously, its the best Italian restaurant Ive ever eaten in my life. I tasted the parmesan fondue, the mussels, the squid because I tasted all these starters and the mushroom papardelle was really incredible. Just wow! Do you want some mushrooms, here are some mushrooms. Well done, thank you and I was leaving Mascouche and it s clear that I m going to go back there. Bye thank you

First visit to your home. What a lovely way to celebrate my birthday. Warm welcome, chic decor, excellent service (thank you Audrey-Anne) and what can we say about the food, it was decadent! Definitely one of the best meals of my life! Experience to be repeated without moderation!

Well located in the heart of Petit Champlain, the homemade Italian pasta is delicious. Good choice of imported wines. The agnlottis are particularly successful.

Fabulous

Much too small for the number of places. The food is good, but being so crowded on the other tables made the experience almost unpleasant.

I was a bit doubtful at first, but the food was phenomenal. I had the filet with mushroom sauce, while I don t like mushrooms I can appreciate the flavor they add and this did not disappoint. The only slight negative was I felt that I didn t quite get the same service others did. I was dining alone, which I do often when I travel. My server was friendly, but also very busy. While the tip wouldn t be as large coming from a solo diner I was also a super easy customer. I would certainly go back for the food.

Best Italian restaurant in old Quebec for its typically Italian food, for us. Thank you so much! Second time here and still just as good. We will come back for a 3rd time without fail ;)

We go back every time we go to Quebec

The food was excellent as well as the portions. I was surprised how busy it was for a Monday evening. It was nice that there was atmosphere. The service was great and the staff were friendly. Very satisfied with my first experience at this restaurant.

The food is excellent. Very good value for money. A few small oversights on the part of the server, but overall very good service. A little noisy and the tables are a little too close together but the restaurant is very beautiful.

Excellent restaurant, very good food. Impeccable service! The tables are a little too tight, the rest nothing to say! THANKS!

Pleasant surprise! It is without exaggeration that I say that for my part it is the best Italian restaurant in Quebec. The waiter was very friendly to my granddaughter and to us. Thank you for this great culinary experience

Very good restaurant. Well located in old Quebec.

Very good service and excellent Italian food. The caper salad was delicious, with very fresh cheese and juicy tomatoes.

Top Italian cuisine A real delight, from starter to dessert The mushroom risotto was perfect The plates are generous and the service outstanding. Well done !@

We had a table reserved still needed to wait for ~15minutes in a line. It was Christmas night; so, they were too busy! The problem is as they were clearly short on staff and the service was poor they kept accepting incoming customers even without reservations. Our table was in another hall in the hotel so the waitress needed to keep commuting between 2 place on 2 sides of the hotel. Generally, it wasn t a good experience. As well as all the delay, the dishes were not as tasty as reviews would suggest. Maybe it is just for that night ;) but I wish they had accepted fewer people and delivered a descent service.

I was there in Christmas eve and i was not aware i was supposed to book. But to my surprise the staff stayed late (around 1am) to allow everyone to have dinner that night at the restaurant with or without a reservation. That was so much appreciated. Needless to rate the food, it was a culinary fireworks for ma palate. Unlike my husband who had a pizza napolitana and it was awfully salty.

We went here our first night in Quebec City because it was attached to our hotel and we didnt want to go out and it ended up being our BEST meal the whole time. I got the seafood pasta, my husband got the lasagna. Both were amazing. The seafood pasta was particularly good. They had a few mocktail options, which I appreciated. Lovely experience.

Everything except the risotto! The service, cocktails, meal was delicious, however, the mushroom risotto was a mistake. Namely: - Too many mushrooms mixed with the risotto, which distorts its texture - Rubbery mushrooms (low end) and roughly cut - Rice not crunchy (poorly cooked) I leave some photos to support my words. Note: We have not had any commercial gesture despite our return on this dish

This was one of our best Italian experiences, It wasnt just about the food, which was excellent! But also the staff who were very friendly and who made our evening great! Highly recommend for dates and family events! They do everything to give you the best memory! Thank you so much ! We will definitely come back! By the way, we went there without a reservation, but I recommend you do. ;)

Perfect place to eat. Fantastic atmosphere, great and friendly staff, and delectable food. Thank you all.

We had reservation for 20:00 , seated quickly. Eric our waiter was very good, we ordered a bottle of wine & entries, carpacio and a salad, so far all is good. Then we had to wait 1 1/2 hr. before main dishes, with tables that entered and were seated after us and ordered the same main dishes. The food service prep and delivery was horrible. I would not recommend this restaurant.

As with all visits, it was a perfect evening. Food, service, wine pairing, everything was there!! Thanks to the whole team

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredibly delicious, surpassing all our expectations. The service was top-notch. However, one thing to note is that their menu is solely in French, which posed a challenge for us English speakers. We had to rely on translation apps to understand and order. We were so hungry that we forgot to take any pictures of the food. Once it arrived, it was irresistible, and we couldnt stop ourselves from diving right in!

Back for a second time. The best pizza, meatballs, and eggplant parmigiana in Quebec by far. Sauce is excellent. Pizza crust is fantastic

I visited this place without reservations but still they managed to accommodate us. The food was delicious and the hospitality was amazing. Just a recommendation that please have a menu in English as well as lot of visitors to Quebec aren t familiar with French Thank you Food

Good quality Italian food with excellent service. Nice wine list.

Modern, bustling spot located in hotel 71 with outstanding food and service. The owner is friendly and accommodating and the staff are top notch. Drinks were great. Definitely recommend.

Love the vibe of the space and friendly nature of our server, Adrienne! Food and Cocktail selection was Amazing! A great spot for sure if you re a native. However, as an English speaking patron, I was very aware the Host/Maitre d, was annoyed having to deal with my broken French and was brisk and rude. Excusez moi - I tried !

probably the best restaurant i ve visited in quebec city. this day we tried going to multiple restaurants, however since we had no reservation we couldn t go to any of them. when we arrived here, despite there typically being a lot of customers, the staff helped us find a place to sit at in the separate room. the atmosphere was amazing - especially loved the music, furniture, overall mood of the restaurant. the waiters were extremely professional and friendly, and made sure that we were happy with everything. and the food was exceptional - it felt like every detail in the meals was thought through, and the portions were the perfect amount!! all the while the waiting times were very short (with appetisers it felt like there was no waiting time at all). i would honestly come back to quebec city again just to come here. highly recommend!!!

Excellent meal, very friendly staff

Dinner outside. Impeccable service. Excellent meal and nice wine list.

The bruschetta and papardelle with mushrooms were delicious, the service was very good and the outdoor terrace was pleasant. The portions were also generous for a reasonable price. Good Italian restaurants are rare in Quebec, glad to have found one!

A veal parmigiana escalope almost burnt, overcooked and tough meat, insufficient sauce and too much cheese, too gratinated, burnt in places which gives a really very disappointing result. They offered us dessert which was very mediocre. $353 later because they made us pay for the escalopes and the worst part was that these plates came out of the kitchen, we left telling ourselves that the wine was very good but that they wouldnt see us again.

Quiet environment, good service, high cost performance

Very enjoyable dinner sitting on the terrace.

I really would love to give this a five star but Im putting in 4 stars just bc the waiter was not as enthusiastic as what we are used to when fine dining. Food was amazing though. I would highly recommend. Left a good tip Food

We went there as a family. The atmosphere is superb, clean restaurant, fast and courteous service. But the most important thing is the food which is delicious! I highly recommend the red wine braised beef served with presto gnocchi.

We were standing in line in front of the restaurant and the service manager told us to come back in about 30-40 minutes because all the tables were occupied. He would reserve us a table for 3 people. After 30 minutes we were back in front of the restaurant. The same person suddenly didnt know us anymore and said we should have just waited and there was currently no space. Thats not possible...!

The only star is for Alexandra the waitress, very welcoming and dynamic. There were 4 of us, and we ordered a bruschetta, 3 pizzas and a salmon tartare. Unacceptable to wait 1h30 to be served when after 1h we are told the pizzas are in the oven. Being obliged to leave at 10 p.m. we asked for takeaway boxes at the price of consumption on site obviously...

Small, but great experience

The staff was extremely racist and rude. Despite of asking in fluent French and having empty tables the staff refused us. They were rude and unwelcoming towards brown people. Wouldn t recommend.

Magnificent dinner with exceptional service. Really. Im definitely going back.

Delicious food and awesome staff and restaurants. We sat on the patio. Everything was great.

Service way too slow. Took an hour before we could even order.

Overall, the experience and food was good - I ve had better Italian food (flavor profile of some of the dishes was on the saltier side for me) but their Penna Romanoff was good.

Wooow! Excellent meal (beef carpaccio and seafood linguine with creamy sauce) Good atmosphere! Contrary to my expectations, it is very affordable!

One of the best restaurants, I have ever visit, unique and cozy atmosphere, excellent food. And our water David was amazing, so nice and kind, great customer service, wonderful, we will be back

Great discovery! We were in Quebec for a romantic weekend. No reserved places. After a walk, the atmosphere called us! We ate at the bar. Great friendly service. Taste the squid starter: delirious! Note that the price of bottles of wine is very low! Good evening quality/price! I recommend it!

Very good Italian restaurant. Very cute. Great location. Ideal for strolling around the area before or after dinner. The seafood pasta is excellent. Not just shrimp. We have lots of mussels, scallops, shrimp. In short, you get what you pay for!

The bar tender was great but the regular customers and manager did make this establishment welcoming

Everything was perfect, the service was excellent, the dishes were delicious. I recommend this address for an evening with friends, a couple or family.

Has been to serval bars through out my trip but the service at Matto, specifically Andreanne made my day/trip, she s so kind and lovely, she s such a loving person who cares about your experience throughout the night

Very nice Italian restaurant in lower Quebec city. Located inside a hotel, its cozy for dinner. Service was great despite the fact it was very busy on Saturday night. The food was good. Had moms lasagna. Food : 4/5

5 star experience. On the plate and at the service. We will definitely return.

A wonderful evening of wedding anniversary celebration. Impeccable service of course with exquisite Italian dishes. The arugula and prosciutto salad is very fresh and tasty. A truly delicious risotto.

Delicious meal and very good service

WOW great discovery

Always excellent. Thank you for a great evening!

We have been there 4 times. Too bad the food isnt constant. Several dishes disappointed us. We went back the 3rd time because we were convinced. The waitress gave us good advice on what to take and that made the difference. Ask what the specialties of the place are in order to live the Italian experience to the fullest. Service on arrival a little cold, a little smile would be welcome.

Great dinner and drinks. Well situated in Hotel 71.

Extraordinary, both the dishes served to us and the atmosphere!! What can we say about our server

A true, unpretentious Italian tradition bathed in modernism. Congratulations for this great success

Best tasting Italian food I ve had , authentic

Great food and atmosphere but our server wasn t the greatest. That said he may have just been having an off night so I will for sure be back. The food was fantastic.

97/100 This fantastic Italien bistro inside Auberge saint pierre. Was trully a good experience. What a fantastic place where the smell of fresh ingredients are enhanced by the perfect cuisine and the impeccable service The wine list is also nice. We recommend the parmesan fondue and the pasta al vongole. Reservation is recommended but expect a wait.

Very good restaurant in the pure Italian tradition. Great food and great service :)

The best meal I had after a week in Quebec City. The Spaghetti Fruta Di Mare was excellent. Good wines, reasonably priced. The night before we had dinner at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac and this meal was by far superior.

Everything is always impeccable! Great Italian restaurant! Well done!

Excellent calamari and carbonara!

Incredible service, warm atmosphere, the meal was excellent my favorite in Quebec.

Matto was a repeat for us on this trip. We enjoyed the experience so much previously that it was the first reservation we booked. Reservations are highly recommended although it was not busy on the rainy cold night we were there. The Parmesan fondue was so insanely good. It melted as you put it on your mouth and was perfectly countered by the crisp outside. I had the carbonara. It s a staple when I travel because of the US does this as a saucy dish. Matto was perfection. The richness of the egg and cheese set this to a home run for me. My husband had the mushroom pappardelle and he wasn t a fan of the pasta itself but the mushrooms were great. Not the pastas fault though. The beef carpaccio did leave some room to be desired so only a 4 star for the food.

Off the waiters suggestion menu...veal sweetbreads. I say yes sir.....More than perfect. The demi-glace sauce. I have a degree in cooking, so I cook a lot of above-average dishes myself. But this was perfect. Wow and thank you.

I visited on a chilly Tuesday evening and found the restaurant absolutely packed. I was lucky enough to secure a reservation earlier that day so getting a seat wasn t an issue. If you plan to check out Matto, it s definitely a good idea to get a reservation. The servers were friendly though not overly attentive, but again there were barely any open seats so that s to be expected. Overall my Agnellotti was delicious and I had lemon Tartufo for dessert. A lovely, filling meal. Just a note, my menu was completely French so if your French isn t great come prepared with a translation app or ask lots of questions!

The prices are very good for the quality of the food and the portions. I recommend the filet mignon with the blue cheese sauce. Best filet mignon Ive ever eaten!
