My partner treated me to date here on our last night in Quebec City, & what a treat it was! The service was amazing, especially from our waiter David. He didn't even blink at the fact I don't speak French well enough for a conversation, & engaged my partner in the art of Franglaise. Always around when we so much as thought of him, David was attentive & always had a smile on. He also recommended a lovely wine that I regret not getting the name of.

We didn't wait long at all for our food, which was surprising given how busy it was! My partner got the eggplant Parmesan that looked lovely, albeit a bit small in portion compared to my spaghetti & meatballs. Both dishes were equally delicious though, as were our desserts of tiramisu & Italian chocolate ice cream.

Definitely coming back next time we're in town!

The food was fantastic, great ambiance, & prompt service. No complaints, would highly recommend for a good Italian spot to check out in the lower old town in Quebec City.

I go to Italian restaurants frequently. The meal was some of the best Italian food I have had in the last 10 years. The eggplant parmeson appetizer was especially good. The restaurant was a little noisy but other than that, a great dining experience.

I found Matto searching online, the reviews caught my attention. Matto was amazing. We are foodies & always searching for the next fabulous meal, usually dinner. We traveled with our friends from Barbados for their first time in Quebec. They frequently dine back home at incredible restaurants. They enjoyed their meal at Matto;s, immensely. Our only complaint (I dislike the word complaint) was it took a bit too much time for our waiter to take our wine order & receive it. You know when the wait is a little too long when you're searching for the waiter. I believe, most people want to receive their beverage fairly soon after being seated (10 minutes) perhaps. To sip on a great wine, enjoy the surroundings & cheer the end of a great day. I am not familiar with Italian wines. Good wine descriptions would been a bonus. A good description helps you to imagine the taste. The same with food descriptions. The ingredients describing a food item helps to imagine the taste, then once in front of me, I eat with my eyes. Would I return to Matto, HELL YA.
