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.

My husband & I had a great dinner at Matto. The restaurant is sleek & modern. The food was delicious. I had the manicotti which were perfect. We split a salad which was plenty for both of us . The tiramisu , which we also shared was very good as well. We had wonderful service & would highly recommend.

The food & wine were amazing. Everyone besides our server was fantastic. Our waitress was horrible & impacted our evening's enjoyment. She wasn't very pleasant. We had to catch her eye several times for water, & we had to order another glass of wine from someone else, & she made it a bad experience. I am unsure if I would recommend Matto or return after our experience.

C'était notre 1ere visite chez vous & ce ne sera pas la dernière.
Notre expérience a débuter des l'accueil , l'ambiance, la déco c'est ce que je recherchais.
La gentillesse & bienveillance du personnel tout le long a été très apprécié.

Pâtes champignons: Goûteux, chaud, quantité idéale.
Pizza roquette: pâtes incroyables, produits frais, invitait nos papilles.

Avec plaisir que je vais vous recommander

We visited the restaurant yesterday evening. My husband had the risotto & I had very tender veal with a delicious mushroom sauce. We enjoyed the meal so much, we have booked to return on Sunday!
We would definitely recommend the restaurant as it had a lively atmosphere & good service.

Le patron accueillant s'est avéré réceptif à une suggestion pour son site web. Patrick, serveur sympathique, superbe & copieuse entrée d'antipasto, les linguine al dente avec des sauces rosée & blanche savoureuses accompagnant une belle variété de fruits de mer. Une bomba décadente & un des très bons tiramisu que j'aie mangés pour terminer. Nous y retournerons assurément & recommandons.
