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.

We loved our meal & our server was friendly & helpful. She was also excellent with the wine recommendations
Main course prices were also reasonable. Cesser salad was superb & they had gluten free pasta options which I had. It was delicious
Our only small issue was took awhile to get food but it was a busy evening. I have no hesitation to recommend Matto

Location is in a quieter part of lower town. The food & service was exceptional. I had the spaghetti & meatballs & my husband had the lasagna- both were very generous portions & the taste was delicious.
We shared the charcuterie board to start our meal & we're surprised at both the amount & quality of it. Our service could not have been better. One of the best dining experiences of our life!!

Tout était parfait, sauf que nous étions assis sur table à 2 places près de l'entrée qui mène directement dans l'hôtel. Beaucoup de va-&-vient & on s'est fait bousculer (contact physique) à quelques reprises.

Great food, great attention by the lead waiter/manager who made our dinner experience special by providing a little treat with sparklers at the end of dinner, to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Good conversation, & overall the occasion at Matto was unique & outstanding.

Disappointed with the quality of the pasta, it also was not hot enough when served so cooled off quickly. We had the carbonara & the pappardelle . The service was very good.
