Finally got to try our Matteo’s after a customer recommended it. Our family runs a meat market and we are very choosy when it comes to eatting out. Firstly the atmosphere was lovely in and out, charming and romantic. Next, service: outstanding! The whole staff was kind, helpful and a team. We had Adrian who help guide us through the menu and make selections, we were not rushed and just got to enjoy. Finally the food! A great selection of various options homemade and full of flavor. Our favorites were the meatballs and the veal chop. We will be back.

We had an unforgettable anniversary dinner at this Italian restaurant! The food was absolutely awesome—authentic flavors and beautifully presented dishes that exceeded our expectations. The service was top-notch, thanks to Harley, who made our experience even more special with attentive and friendly service. To top it all off, we were surprised with a lovely gesture at the end of the night that made our celebration truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

It's cool to see the growth and success of this restaurant. A friend and I visited over the summer while they were still in the 9th location and were very impressed; Matteo was greeting guests and making sure they were satisfied. It was wonderful to hear his story and see how successful his restaurant has become so quickly. The downtown location is a different vibe, but perfect for an occasion or just a nice night out. The food never disappoints, you can tell you are paying for value in the ingredients and preparation. The staff is also wonderful, kind, and entertaining. Mirsad, our server from the other night made our experience so memorable and fun. We will absolutely come back; from the food, service, atmosphere, it's clear why this restaurant has done so well: it's the team's passion and deliverance on quality.

Matteo is like eating at a place your nona opened up with upscale modern decor and hired a charismatic waiter to serve you. Now it may be a function of the dishes that we ordered, but the food tasted more like rustic traditional family recipes than a effort for a more fine/refined meal. That's not saying it was bad, it was just not what I expected when I sat down.

We ate a three course meal. Starting with probably the best dish of the night: a whipped Brie. I don't know how they made it but it was light-as-air, buttery, savory and a tiny bit skunky as a good cheese should be.

The pasta course was the risotto and the tagliatelle a la Bolognese. The Bolognese was well executed but not extraordinary. It really tasted like a grandmother had made it which is rather impressive. The risotto was slightly unbalanced and needed a little more acidity to balance the cheese and fat. They use an aged balsamic vinegar to do that, but I think it would have benefited from a little more. Bites with more of that vinegar were much better than the ones that were lacking. Both dishes were bigger portioned than we expected.

For the main course we chose a special for the night: a slow braised bison short rib. Really hard to make this dish taste bad. It was fall-off-the-bone tender, savory, and balanced. Given all the care a good short rib deserves. The extra gamey-ness of the bison vs. beef was appreciated. Great dish.

All in all, a solid to great restaurant. Probably slightly on the expensive side for the quality of food but a good recommendation if you're in the area, visiting out of town as we were.

아들 대학교 입학 축하를 위해 선택한 레스토랑! 리버티파크 앞쪽 레스토랑 중 평점 좋은 이탈리안 레스토랑으로 예약하고 감. 음식은 추천해 주는 걸로 먹었는데 치즈가 좀 짰지만 전반적으로 훌륭했다. 서비스는 진짜 좋았고, 에피타이저 먹고 나니 앞접시랑 포크 나이프도 다 바꿔주시고~ 음식 설명도 잘해 주시고~ 분위기도 좋고!!! 강추해요~
