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.

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.

Nice atmosphere but the food was not the best.
The appetizers were quite good (the arancini so good!), but the main took way to long to arrive (1 hour plus) & they were just ok.
The lasagna was not great, with little to no sauce between layers, & completely smothered in cheese. The layers were all sticking together & felt undercooked.

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.

It really was just okay. The place was busy, no problem, but the tables are too crowded together & I really dont like when restaurants take the liberty of sitting couples together with strangers. It was very loud. Wait staff were polite enough. Food was just okay. I expected better for the price. It seemed a bit like the wait staff were bothered that we didn't order drinks.

Il Matto est sans aucun doute l'un des meilleurs restaurants du Vieux-Québec.
Lors de nos trois dernières visites, nous avons eu la chance d'être servis par Danny. Drôle, patient, toujours de bonne humeur & vif d'esprit, il se démarque par son professionnalisme & son énergie. Un employé exemplaire, du genre qu'un entrepreneur rêve d'avoir dans son équipe.

La nourriture est toujours excellente & l'ambiance chaleureuse rend chaque repas mémorable. Un incontournable du Vieux-Québec !
