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.

Our waiter, Simon, was just the best. My friend wanted a lemon drop cocktail. He looked up the recipe on the internet & made it so well, she got another. He recommended a delicious appetizer & helped us with our wine selection. All of us really enjoyed our entrees & desserts. But, Simon's fun & friendly personality is what made this a truly memorable experience.

Très bel endroit, dans un secteur historique de choix, & la cuisine tout comme le personnel de service sont exceptionnels. Recommandé à tous points de vue. Réservation requise car la salle à manger est restreinte.

The restaurant had a wonderful ambience. The staff made you feel at home. The waiter was fantastic!! He was very familiar with the menu & was able to make great recommendations. The food was top notch. The Carbonara pasta dish reminded us of the one we enjoyed in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for true authentic Italian cuisine.
