4.0

A very nice restaurant with a pleasant & cozy atmosphere. The setting features soft lighting, creating a relaxed & enjoyable environment, even though the place is not very large.

We started with tomato bruschetta & then had scaloppine served with pasta - both dishes were very good, well prepared, & satisfying.

The service was also good, attentive without being intrusive.

Overall, a great option for a relaxed meal with good food & a welcoming ambiance.

We had a 6 p.m. reservation & arrived a little early, but were seated right away.

The service was impeccable - attentive without being overbearing - & we felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the evening.

Even though we were slightly ahead of the dinner rush, all three courses came out promptly & were beautifully prepared.

The antipasto was well balanced & more than generous for two people.
The seafood pasta was fresh, perfectly cooked, & loaded with seafood - exactly what you'd hope for.
The veal Parmesan was the best I've had in years: well seasoned, with a perfect balance of pasta & cheese.
& the crème brûlée was absolutely worth saving room for.

I would absolutely recommend this spot as a must-visit when you're in Quebec City.

Really great experience. We had dinner here as guests of the hotel. Enjoyed the drinks (my fiance always gets espresso martinis & he loved theirs). Arancini app was amazing - delicious marinara sauce! We both loved our pasta (veal parm & manicotti). We saw the margherita pizza & had to try it... it was incredible. Seemed very authentic (I've been to Italy) & this is my fave kind of pizza. It was to die for. We did make a reservation so there was no wait. Overall a lovely dinner!

The first place for the best Italian pasta in town! Enjoyed the Christmas Eve dinner at this authentic Italian restaurant chain in Quebec City. The pastas were amazingly delicious & the steak was perfectly cooked to accurate perfection & tasted better than anything else one can find anywhere else.
The atmosphere was fantastic & very refreshing welcoming experience. The service was also very pleasant & really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for an evening dinner , just make sure you have a reservation done before heading as it is very popular & busy.

I'm not sure how this place is so highly rated. The three dishes we had; mushroom pasta, risotto, & lasagna were below average. The first batch of bread we were served was cold & stale. Most concerning, the wine by the bottle is terribly expensive & of very low quality. The markup to these is unreasonable. There were no less than three bottles on the menu for $90 -$95 that were very poor grade & can be found for about $20 at a store. Service was prompt & very friendly.

This restaurant is located inside Hotel 71. We ordered the mushroom pasta & the prosciutto pizza. The pizza was a bit disappointing , it tasted like it had been reheated & the prosciutto taste was not good. The pasta, on the other hand, was good & I would recommend it.

Very nice atmosphere. I had the mushroom pasta & a pizza. The pasta was quite good, BUT the pizza was honestly one of the worst I've tried ,even a Costco pizza tasted better. It was dry with a very thick, heavy crust. Overall, loved the setting but the pizza definitely needs improvement.

The vibe & serving staff at Matto were amazing; it was busy but not too loud to hold a conversation. The hostess was great at her job & recommended several items, all of which were great. We had burrata to start & mains were cod with vegetables & pasta, & ravioli. Dessert was cannoli & tiramisu. Both, outstanding, especially since they can be disappointing if not done well. Matto excelled in all areas & when we're back in QC we will definitely be back.

If you are in a mood for good pasta, this is it. We tried most of the best rated restaurants in this area of the city, but to be honest, this was our best meal.
The place is not too big & can be very noisy & crowded, but everything we had was super tasty.

Ma conjointe & moi avons pris les ris de veau à $42 le plat. Ils étaient excellents sauf qu'on aurait souhaité avoir plus de pâtes que la portion pour enfant que vous nous avez servie. À la prochaine avec plus de pasta! Merci
