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.

Absolutely beautiful food & excellent service! Only downside is the tables are a little close to each other, but I'd go back in a second. Very highly recommended. Try the Carbonara & Crème Brulée.

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.

My partner treated me to date here on our last night in Quebec City, & what a treat it was! The service was amazing, especially from our waiter David. He didn't even blink at the fact I don't speak French well enough for a conversation, & engaged my partner in the art of Franglaise. Always around when we so much as thought of him, David was attentive & always had a smile on. He also recommended a lovely wine that I regret not getting the name of.

We didn't wait long at all for our food, which was surprising given how busy it was! My partner got the eggplant Parmesan that looked lovely, albeit a bit small in portion compared to my spaghetti & meatballs. Both dishes were equally delicious though, as were our desserts of tiramisu & Italian chocolate ice cream.

Definitely coming back next time we're in town!

The manager of the establishment was extremely attentive & friendly. The other staff which were not our servers were as well. Our server David was a master at waiting & is what you would hope & dream for in a waiter. He was attentive & gave us recommendations when we asked. He had no problem switching back & forth between english & french for my partner & I. He was kind & caring. Our food was delicious. I could not recommend the eggplant parmesan any more. The tiramisu was also fantastic & had a great layering going on. The only thing I disliked was where I was in the restaraunt. I was in a corner by a kitchen window- which made it a little loud at times but other than that- i couldn't give this place a better review. The prices were phenomenal. I will be back!

Nous étions 2 personnes & sans réservation pour le souper vers 17h30. Ce fut une très belle première expérience à ce restaurant que nous recommandons haut la main. Personnels très courtois, souriant & avec un service impéccable. Nos escaloppes de veau étaient vraiment excellente, c'est à découvrir. Ambiance agréable & nourriture très bonne sur tout ce que nous avons commandé.
