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 had a 6 p.m. reservation & arrived a little early, but were seated right away.

The service was impeccable - attentive without being overbearing - & we felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the evening.

Even though we were slightly ahead of the dinner rush, all three courses came out promptly & were beautifully prepared.

The antipasto was well balanced & more than generous for two people.
The seafood pasta was fresh, perfectly cooked, & loaded with seafood - exactly what you'd hope for.
The veal Parmesan was the best I've had in years: well seasoned, with a perfect balance of pasta & cheese.
& the crème brûlée was absolutely worth saving room for.

I would absolutely recommend this spot as a must-visit when you're in Quebec City.

Cette note tel que promis est seulement pour l'accueil
Accueil malheureusement extrêmement décevante. Dès mon arriver ont était très heureux de voir des amis a ce restaurant on leurs a faite le bonjour & ensuite, le fameux accueil que j'ai reçu. J'ai ressenti une certaine froideur & je me suis senti jugé sans même pouvoir échanger dès la rentré sans raison, monsieur coupais la parole & n'écoutais gère ce que j'avais a dire il avais une opinion déjà conçu de moi & non de mon conjoint. Il a même téléphoner un autre restaurant pout qu'ont ai manger ailleurs. Vraiment il a dépassé l'entendement. Une expérience assez décevante car l'accueil est la première impression d'un restaurant.
