Could only get a reservation at the bar for our desired time. We had wonderful service at the bar from Alexis. She was professional, pleasant & took very good care of us. Her food recommendations were spot on. I had the seafood linguine with tomato sauce & it was delicious. My husband had the carbonara with the egg yokes & it was so rich & yummy. We closed with the wonderful crème brûlée. The atmosphere was warm & inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great Italian meal!

We had a lovely experience at the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious.

We especially appreciated how attentive & helpful our server Samuel was. We didn't speak French, & he patiently explained everything to us. When we were feeling cold, he kindly brought us a blanket. He also recommended a lovely Italian wine, which was especially helpful. He also took the time to explain all the vegetarian options for my cousin & what he could enjoy.

The food, service, & hospitality made our visit truly special. We would definitely come back!

Had a mixed experience here. We had a 6pm reservation & didn't end up getting our mains until almost 7:45, which felt long.

Our appetizers were delicious. We had the calamari & the suppli & enjoyed both a lot.

The mains didn't go as well. I had the carbonara & this was this first time I've ever had carbonara with onions in it, I would not recommend it. Not a good addition to what is usually such a simple dish. My wife had the mushroom pasta & also felt the onions in the meal were overdone.

All in all not a fantastic experience. Overall more like a 2.5 than a 3.

We had an amazing dinner here! We ordered pizza, pasta, calamari, & the burrata, & every single dish was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. A special thank you to our server, who was incredibly kind & friendly. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncello at the end of our meal, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It made our evening even more memorable. We will definitely come back & highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food & excellent service! One of the best dining experiences we've had in Quebec City. Thank you for such a wonderful evening!

Great wine, amazing lasagna, but check the ingredients! Matto boasts a stellar wine selection & a vibrant atmosphere. Vegetarian warning: the Minestrone soup contains pork. Luckily, the Lasagna is an elite backup choice-the tomato sauce is incredibly rich & flavorful, making a perfect pairing with the complimentary bread. The Crab Rolls were also a massive hit for my husband. Highly recommend for the pasta & wine pairings!
