Review Summary

Matto offers a vibrant and authentic Italian dining experience in Quebec City, widely praised for its flavorful pastas, fresh seafood, and signature meat dishes like veal and beef cheek. While many guests rave about the warm atmosphere and the exceptional, attentive service provided by the professional staff, some visitors note that the restaurant can become quite busy and noisy, leading to tight seating arrangements. Although the vast majority of experiences are highly positive, with many diners considering it a must-visit destination, a small number of reviews mention inconsistencies with dish preparation or speed of service during peak hours.

The pasta was served EXACTLY how it should be, piping hot; better yet it was absolutely delicious.

Mala atención por parte de la persona que nos atendió. Se equivocó con un plato, no nos ofreció agua durante todo el servicio (solo al principio) y pese a quejarnos de que la pasta estaba poco hecha en el otro plato, la reacción fue muy simple y sin ofrecer solución.

We loved our meal & our server was friendly & helpful. She was also excellent with the wine recommendations
Main course prices were also reasonable. Cesser salad was superb & they had gluten free pasta options which I had. It was delicious
Our only small issue was took awhile to get food but it was a busy evening. I have no hesitation to recommend Matto

Disappointed with the quality of the pasta, it also was not hot enough when served so cooled off quickly. We had the carbonara & the pappardelle . The service was very good.

Food was delicious. The pasta served was definitely not overdone. It was a touch "al dente", which was a new experience for us. Very flavourful. Service was attentive & individualized. Prices were reasonable. Overall excellent & I would go back.
