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.

The food was delicious, but the restaurant was a little tight. Tables too close one another.

It is certainly a lively bar for sure but that make sure everything is good. We came in late like 10pm ish & our door man at the hotel said "go now go!" & we did, first night in QB City & they didn't rush us. So then last night we were tired so based on on our previous experience we booked our last night & they came through in spades. All I can say is great service, food very good & the ambience while loud is completely tolerable. This is a loud restaurant that is worth it in so many ways.

We were excited to go to Matto for our first dinner during our trip yo Quebec City. It was in the Hotel71 we were staying in (which we loved btw).

It started out nice, is a nice restaurant. Then got progressively not as nice. It's an extremely busy & tight space. Tables are very close & very little space even for servers to get around.

Service was extremely slow. It took close to 1.5 hours to get our food from when we arrived. It got extremely hot in the space which made it uncomfortable. My wife had to get up & walk outside for a while to cool off. I saw others that did the same.

Finally when the good came, I really liked my spaghetti with meatballs. My wife got a pizza with mushrooms. It was good but not great.

We felt it was very expensive for what you get.

It was ok but we wouldn't return.
