About

Matto crafts an authentic Italian experience centered on the art of traditional pasta and artisanal pizza preparation. The kitchen utilizes high-quality flour and imported ingredients to construct complex flavor profiles across a diverse menu of regional specialties. Patrons observe an open environment where the mechanical precision of pizza ovens dictates the rhythmic flow of the kitchen. Every plate serves as a testament to classic preparation techniques, favoring bold textures and fresh seasonings over unnecessary ornamentation. The structural integrity of the handmade noodles provides a consistent backbone for rich, balanced sauces that define the culinary identity. This establishment maintains a rigorous focus on the fundamental pillars of Mediterranean cooking, ensuring that every served dish reflects a commitment to simplicity and technical mastery in every bite.

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.

Très belle expérience au Matteo dans le Vieux-Québec.
Service wow du début à la fin, avec une ambiance chaleureuse & familiale.
Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas reçu un service aussi attentionné. On sent que les employés ont du plaisir à travailler ensemble, & cela se reflète directement dans l'expérience client.
La nourriture était également excellente.
Je recommande sans hésitation

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.

Excellent accueil de la part de Jean-Nicolas & Claudia, dont le professionnalisme & la gentillesse ont grandement contribué à rendre notre expérience mémorable.

Le filet mignon mérite sans hésitation une note de 6 étoiles, parfaitement exécuté. La joue de boeuf est absolument à recommander, tendre & savoureuse, tout comme les escalopes de veau, qui étaient tout simplement excellentes.

L'ambiance & le service sont remarquables. C'est notre deuxième année au Carnaval de Québec, avec un séjour à l'Hôtel 71, & nous sommes encore une fois entièrement satisfaits.

Une expérience que nous recommandons sans hésitation.
Merci infiniment

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.

Was recommended to us by frequent visitors. Reservations are a must. Food was well prepared overall as were the beverages. One gentleman server with the glasses was very entertaining & had good reccomendations. Our table was set in the center of room with tight space to walk around my chair so I kept getting hit by people passing by. Lol . I wasn't too bothered.

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.
